Wilmington: A Place to Stay During a Rain Delay (UPDATE)


Who you calling Del-a-where??

We got a local guy running for the vice-presidency, and now we have World Series competitors staying at one of our hotels....

It's cool to be Delaware right now.
(Yeah, I know, I'm stretching...)

Anyone spy Rays players out and about or eating in local restaurants? What are they ordering?

Let Second Helpings know. We're hungry for this kind of news.

Comment, comment....
NEW UPDATE: Here's a story from The Tampa Tribune about the Rays and Delaware. Some of it's funny because it's just FLAT OUT WRONG like how Delaware supposedly has no seashores. Uh, come again? That's news to the folks in Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island. Also, I guess the writer didn't know that the Phils were once owned by a DELAWARE family from 1943 until 1981 and that the Phillies exercised in the Hotel du Pont's Gold Ballroom during World War II..........


Since many readers keep asking, I did email Biden spokesman David Wade and asked him if our senior Senator really meant to mention Katie's during the vice-presidential debate or if he, in fact, meant to say Kozy Korner's or Mrs. Robino's (both restaurants are on Union Street.)

I'm still waiting for an answer...

Who cares what he meant?!?! He was wrong and he looked stupid to Delawareans. Why are you still bringing it up?

Close your eyes. Take a few deep, cleansing breaths. Feel better? Was that calming? Relaxing?

Now, go back and read the post again:

As I wrote "since many readers keep asking"...

Such a bad day out, I believe they might just stay at Hotel, or order take out...

Calming? Relaxing? Give me a break and move on. Not just you, but your readers need to as well.

Since Patty can't say it- I will. YOU'RE A TOOL.

I care what he meant. I don't think he looked stupid to Delawareans. Put some cameras in my face and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to tell you MY name, let alone a restaurant's.

I'm betting you could just not read about the topic should you come across it in future.

No Rays players, but there was a group of about 13 front office staff and family that came into Domaine Hudson last night about 8:30 p.m. Great group of people that were very appreciative of the hospitality that Wilmington has shown them!

Heard on tv last night that the whole group either hung around the hotel or went to a 'local mall'. Someone from the organization also said that the Hotel DuPont is the nicest hotel that the team has EVER been to. Thought that was nice to hear.
