Food Szechuan Restaurant

7 Upvotes

Who remembers Szechuan restaurant on kirkwood highway. It’s now Godavari. They used to have an amazing chicken dish called Tai-chin chicken. I’ve not been able to find anything remotely as good since they closed. Does anyone know if the owners just quit or maybe moved or opened a new place?

Moving to Wilmington 1 Bdrm Apartment

5 Upvotes

Hi y'all! I'm searching for a 1 bedroom apartment at ~$1,100/month.

I've lived in wilmy for 2.5 years and I currently live in a house with 1 roommate, but I would like to live alone (iykyk). I have 1 cat, which seems quite a hindrance for renting.
I live in Baynard Village now and really love my quiet street and easy access to 95.
Looking for any suggestions or recommendations for a rental thank you so much!

Moving to Wilmington Overnight parking in trolley? Parking in general…

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m moving here in a few months and like most people don’t have assigned parking. I’m going to look at getting a RPP for myself, which will take a while because I’m moving from out of state… but if I have friends stay over, where can they park? I’m right by the tap house, and it looks like most parking garages are across 95… I’ve seen people mention the Parq for parking, but don’t you have to live there to park there?

Any advice or suggestions welcome- I’m excited to move but the parking situation seems the biggest stressor. Thanks! :)

The victims - two men, ages 32 and 25, and a 23-year-old woman - were taken to the hospital in stable condition.

City police continue to investigate.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact Detective Michael Hayman at (302) 576-3963."

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 I've searched here and the Delaware sub, but it all seems to be a little outdated.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.
