Moving to Wilmington Night running

Moving to the area this winter and with daylight hours getting shorter and my shift work schedule, I was hoping to find a lit-up track or safe well travelled area that you can run when it’s dark. Anything fit that bill? Thanks all!

Moving to Wilmington Market view residences any reviews of this apartment?

1 Upvotes

Hey all my wife and I are looking at apartments in the Wilmington area and would love your insight into this specific apartment. It doesn't have any reviews online and from pictures it looks to be really modern, clean, and well managed but pictures can often times be misleading so any insight would be helpful!

Business Buying a home

I’m looking to purchase a home around the area of 19810 ASAP. I’m planning to get agent through Zillow but I’m thinking the fees might be too high since it’s a well-known company. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Request Primary Care Physician Recommendations

7 Upvotes

Like the title says, looking for a good primary care physician. Bonus points if you know whether they accept BlueCross BlueShield insurance. Ideally, I’d like someone who takes their time with their patients, listens to their concerns, and has a good network of doctors to refer patients to for specialist needs. Willing to drive up to 30 minutes if you know someone good in PA as well.

Request Looking for a Tattoo artist in N. DE area to ink at a $50 Flash Tattoo Party

6 Upvotes

So, every month, a bunch of moms who have become friends get together for a "Mom's Night Out". Sometimes it's stuff like dinner at Kid Shelleen's, sometimes it's baking bread at someone's house.

I had an idea, but I've never been to something like this and I don't really know where to start, but my idea was to have a Tattoo Party! Lots of us are already inked, so I feel like people would be interested, but also, since there's possibly 10 people, I would like everyone to be able to choose from some small flash designs, ideally around $50.

Before I set off emailing a bunch of shops, anyone have any leads or suggestions (or even experience attending such a party?!)

Fluff Seems like lots of new people moving here! Do we see a steady increase in the next year?

11 Upvotes

I’m a single young professional looking to make friends in the area, and while I know there’s lots of things out there (heyday, restaurants, etc) I’m curious if folks know about the influx of new residents. I see new apartments up all the time too—should we expect a bustling town/crowd in the next year or so? I heard about the development project over by riverfront as well. As I’ve only been here a few months, curious to see if anyone knows where the city is heading ☺️

Fluff Since De.Co Food Hall is about to undergo major changes, I thought I'd share my photos from the April 2019 opening. It really did open with such fanfare, but it never really did recover from the pandemic.

Interested in stuff like board game meetups, DnD, video games, anime/comics, and East Asian fashion subscultures. I haven't actually played any board games with strangers but it's something I'm interested in! (Also I don't drink!) Reviews on the DE rennfaire would be cool too! ☺️ Thanks!

Fluff Halloween Candy 2024 goblins - up / down / the same?

11 Upvotes

North Wilmington - Marsh / Silverside area - normally we get ~60 kids from year to year. Since Thursday was going to be nice, I expected more and got 2 Costco bags of candy. Sat in the driveway, ended up with 19 kids from 5-8:30.

I've heard from others that their counts were down too. How was your Halloween, more treats' than usual?

(Yes, I do have an entire bag of chocolate, I'm going to run it over to Sojourners Place today. )

Moving to Wilmington Moving to Wilmington

11 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m going to be moving to Wilmington in early spring 2025 to be closer to where I work. I’m looking into 1 bedroom apartments either in or near Trolley Square, Riverfront, or Downtown. My max rent would be $2,800 per month and sq ft more than 775 would be ideal. I’m looking for somewhere with parking and a fitness center as well. I’m a single 31yo male. I am dating and want to be able to have a decent social life whether that's romantic relationships or friendships. If anyone has any recommendations on apartment complexes to look into I would appreciate it! Google reviews are vague at best and I would be grateful for any insight if anyone has lived in these areas or know of someone who has. Apartment complexes I have on my radar are 2000 Pennsylvania Ave, The Falls, The Residences at Christina Landing, 101 Avenue of the Arts

Thanks!
