Wikitravel: Newark, Delaware.

I looked at the Wikitravel article for my hometown the other day and noticed it looked like it had been written by a fifth-grader - or more likely, an adult on a fifth-grade reading level - so I decided to make a few changes. Only the more I fixed, the more I noticed needed fixing, end wound up writing or rewriting almost everything on the page, in the process adding most of the content you see there today.

I expect the accolades from the Wikitravel gods to begin rolling in any minute.

Return to Sender

The Ruination of Happy Harry's

Now that Walgreen's has taken over Happy Harry's the drug store chain has become a junk store chain. Cold remedies are in the back by the fire exit and employee break room, but in the front of the store are DVD's, junk food, and inexplicably, University of Michigan and Penn State ball caps.
