In a nutshell

Lhenne1 Says: Originally the Dover Opera House, the Schwartz Center is an impressive old building that houses the city's local theater and Symphony. The center recently finished interior renovations and now holds more events throughout the year.Dance troupes, plays and musicals and the...
Ewingjr98 Says: State Street, just south of the intersection with Loockerman, is one of the most charming areas of town in terms of architecture. For about 3 blocks, the street is made of cobblestones, the buildings are all brick, and there are various historic landmarks such as the Green,...
Ewingjr98 Says: Dover's Victorian-style houses were built from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. According to visitdover.com, Dover's wealthy families at the time made their fortune on peaches. Many of Dover's finest historic homes are on State Street, between Division Street and...
Ewingjr98 Says: This is the nicest park in the city of Dover. Silver Lake sits between downtown Dover and the Du Pont Highway "strip" of shopping centers and chain restaurants. Despite its central location, it is a nice quite respite from the city. Silver Lake Park covers 182 acres with a...
Ewingjr98 Says: Just watching the huge C-5 cargo planes take off is a thrill in itself. The base is not open to the public, but you can see the planes take off from South Little Creek Road, Rout 1, and Route 9. My favorite spot was always South Little Creek Road where you are less than a...

Lone Star Steakhouse: Steak and Tater
davecallahan Says: Start with 'lil Chicken Fingers you can dip in honey-mustard. Then get a crisp Green Salad with some spinach leaves included (i go for oil and vinegar dressing). Next, the Prime Rib, tender and juicy with that reddish center and a Potato baked, served in its skin with melted...
Ewingjr98 Says: This sports bar/restaurant recently just north of Dover AFB. Featuring tasty chicken wings with about 15 sauce varieties, they also have several appetizers and sandwiches, most available with their famous wing sauces. I had their hot wings, which are hotter than many other...
Ewingjr98 Says: Atwoods was formerly known as the Blue Coat Inn until very recently. As the Blue Coat Inn, it was famous for its fine dining and dishes including steak and seafood. The menu is still the same, but under new management, it doesn't seem to be as popular. Surf and Turf was $25...
BUBBAS: BUBBAS- AWESOME ENTERTAINMENT
FuninDover Says: BUBBAS is the ONLY REAL nightclub in Dover! They bring in the BEST bands in the area! The DJ's are the best in town. They have 2 rooms, so they always have what I am looking for. Rather it is to Dance the night away or play a game of pool....Bubbas is the spot to be. I love...
Ewingjr98 Says: Though I hate to admit it, I actually went to "The Classic", Dover's lone gentleman's club. The place is rather quiet most of the year, but I hear business picks up over race weekend...they must bring in out of town dancers. This club is famous for its overweight stripper,...
Ewingjr98 Says: Wawa is a great chain of convenience stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia... it's almost as good as Sheetz, but not quite. Why do all of the great convenience stores have terrible names? Wawa actually traces its roots to the early 1900s when...
Atlantic Books - North Du Pont Highway
Ewingjr98 Says: Atlantic Books has 16 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. I have only visited the the Dover Store on North Du Pont Highway. The store has a massive selection of books in a pseudo-warehouse atmosphere. Sure this is no Barnes and Nobles, but don't let that...
Ewingjr98 Says: Downtown Dover hosts an annual St. Patrick’s Day parade the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day. The event is held on Loockerman and State Streets and it is free! Sponsored by the Downtown Dover Partnership, the parade was in its 16th year in 2009. Start time is usually...

Ewingjr98 Says: These trucks move up and down the highway carrying up to 5,500 live chickens. Poor things are pooping and shedding feathers & fleas all up and down the highway, so if you see one coming roll up your window quickly...This one took a spill where Rts 13 and 113 split, killing...
davecallahan Says: Dover crime statistics score at higher risk for crime than an average American city.Robberies, Rapes and Assaults are substantially higher than what would be expected for a population the size of Dover's. Non-violent crimes are about average for Delaware.When you visit...

Little Creek Wildlife Management area
davecallahan Says: Little Creek is a good birding area once you get there and trek back to the towers. It is pleasant in the spring but a bit soggy, so wear good boots/hightops. It is pure agony in early fall when the mosquitoes swarms are large enough to bodily carry you off.Access to the...
Ewingjr98 Says: The state of Delaware produces some 260 million roasting and broiling chickens along with 350 million chicken eggs each year, which are worth some 515 million dollars. This is over 71 percent of the state's entire agricultural production! The majority of the state's poultry...
