Feb 25, 1881: A drunken man ran his horse wild up Market Street in Wilmington, from Fourth to Seventh. The newspaper assured readers "No dame was done."
Somewhere, a dame: "Excuse me, I was TRYING to cross the street."

I always have flags flying at the shops. We are located on site if #GoldenFleeceTavern where Delaware was first to ratify the US Constitution making it the first state. We’re on The Green in Dover and history abounds. We have a stamp, too, that we can stamp your passport books or any kind of collector type books or cards you have. We know everything about the area that tourists may need to know. My main gallery door to #parkegreengalleries is my favorite. Love flags! The #DelawareShoppes & gallery are open seven days week. The Green is great photo op as well as your memories are sweeter when surrounded by unique architecture & dappled light. #tourists welcome! #DelawareHistory #firstState

Just uploaded the newest Cemetery Chronicles podcast. We reflect on how society chooses whom to remember, and the quiet, often invisible labor of restoring dignity to the dead.
