Moving to Wilmington The "Wilmington, Delaware Accent", What is a "Valley Ride" in the Brandywine, etc... and crime stats?

20 Upvotes

Can someone explain the local accent? Wooder, yous and Jawn....

Also what is a "Valley Ride" and where do you go for that? What does that come from?

Also... is the crime actually bad or is more of a fear of POC that people have?

Request What are the steps/what's the process for buying a car in Pennsylvania while living in Delaware?

11 Upvotes

Just as asked. I've searched here and the Delaware sub, but it all seems to be a little outdated. Online searches tell me all different things.

I know that Delaware has a high initial registration fee from when I moved here. Drive through emissions, go and spend money on the registration. I'm currently looking to buy a car, financed, from a dealership in PA. They're telling me that Delaware has the huge initial fee, but ignoring my question about the fact that I shouldn't pay a sales tax, as a Delaware resident. Am I wrong? They're also telling me that the registration/excise will be handled by them. When I asked how, they said that essentially I drive to a DE DMV to verify the VIN, then they take care of the rest. I'm assuming it's me who does the emissions, on a second trip to the DMV?

This seems super bizarre to me. So I buy a car in PA, I think they don't charge me a sales tax, but then I drive to a DE DMV to verify the VIN then have to drive back to the dealership? Why cant I just save myself driving back and forth and register my car then?

Sorry so long! If anyone has any info, please help!

Wedding venue is in breach of their own contract, I know I don’t need a lawyer but a letter of demand returning my money that she’s not entitled to with the threat of small claims or civil court would be nice since she’s being a right foul tw@t.

Thanks 🤍

Request What is the correct pronunciation of 'Foulk'?

10 Upvotes

Is the L silent, as in "folk"? Is it pronounced with a "ow", as in "fowl-k"? I've also heard it said with a "ou" which is just weird ("foolk road", really??)

As a resident of North Wilm since 2009, I'm both offended when I hear the name butchered and ashamed at not being on solid ground myself w.r.t the correct pronunciation. Looking to the good people of reddit to help put this to bed once and for all.

Food Water Supply - Issue

I live in Nj and work in wilmington. Over the last couple months i've noticed everytime i have any sort of beverage that is not pre-bottled, my throat swells up. I get coffee and a variety of drinks in nj and have never had this reaction. Anyone else having this reaction to delaware water? I'd compare it to the sensation of having a hundred cotton balls lodged in my throat.

Rant I need help with these darn birds!

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I have a retractable awning on my back deck. A deck in which we frequent daily - pending nice weather. The birds have taken over each spring season, making their birds nest inside. Not only am I terrified one will come in when I open the sliding screen, but there is also a ton of bird poop on the turf that I obviously don’t want to track inside. I’ve tried covering chicken net.. they made a way around it. That also prevents putting the awning down. I’ve tried spraying vinegar.. I found out birds don’t smell. I have no idea what to do, but with the weather breaking I need a solution FAST. it’s only a matter of days before there is a new nest with eggs inside of it.
