A Second Helpings reader alerted me to this breaking news story: The Wall Street Journal "discovers" Rehoboth Beach.
Sorry, but I stopped reading after this opening laugh-out loud line:
"Without the cachet of the Hamptons or the familiarity of the New Jersey Shore, this Northeast beach is often overlooked."
Rehoboth is overlooked??? (Yeah, maybe by reporters who need to get out of their New York offices a little more often.....)
Sheez, judging by the crowds there this past weekend, the difficulty finding a parking space and heck, almost every weekend this summer, I'd hardly called a resort town popular with Washington, D.C., residents "overlooked."

Try to find someone outside the Mid-Atlantic who has heard of Rehoboth Beach.
You can't. It's a big deal in DE - nowhere else.
Sorry Herby, my friends in Minnesota (where I am from) used to summer at both Dewey and Rehoboth Beach. I heard of them both before moving here--I just didn't know they were in the state of Delaware!
Where is Rehoboth @?
Sorry Shruti, I find your test group of one example unconvincing. I had never heard of Rehoboth or the DE beaches before moving to DE either. Herby is right- it's primarily a mid-Atlantic thing.
