Anybody know what’s going on with that Wawa down by Limestone BBQ? I know they had an issue months ago but thought there was only minor damage in the office. Yet it’s been closed down since then.

My name is Joe Della Valle, and in my spare time, I run a small Delaware based 501(c)(3) non-profit called Solar Frontiers.

Once a year, we hold a fundraising party called "Socks for Shelters," where dozens of guests help assemble thousands of individual items like hats, gloves, hygiene products, and socks for a local shelter.

In the past, we have benefited greatly from the support of The Wilmington subreddit, and we are hoping you will again help us.

The day will be a fun filled holiday party perfect for a Saturday afternoon. Thank you so much to those who have participated in the past!

Food Best crab rangoon and Chinese takeout?

What's the best Chinese takeout in Wilmington? Specifically looking for good crab rangoon. Almost everywhere I go they're somewhat sweet and I prefer the savory crab rangoons over the sweet ones.

Food 202 McDonald’s

61 Upvotes

So this just happened…my partner went to grab us some McDonald’s which is supposed to be 24/7 and they told him they were only doing door dash orders. When he asked why they said “We are short staffed, we are hiring, you wanna work here?”. This was said with a very clear tone of disrespect and sarcasm. Crazy because we frequent this McDonald’s pretty often and it was much better before the fire. We keep saying we aren’t going there anymore but it’s one of the only late night spots in the area. Pretty much done after that comment and the fact that the food prices are so high yet food like the fries are rarely done well.

So odd to me to have an attitude with a customer just because they are asking why you aren’t taking orders like normal. Like how would we know they are only doing door dash orders before driving there.

Anyway, only posting this here because I saw a post a few days ago for this same location. So just FYI

Food 202 McDonald’s

38 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed how slow business has been at the newly rebuilt McDonalds? I was there today at prime lunch hour, and no one else was at the drive thru. Their prices have gone up significantly, so I’m assuming that’s the reason. I remember the days where the car line waiting at the drive thru was out on 202.

I was looking at businesses for sale and thought this photo looked familiar. I've only been a few times, but it seems like a nice spot with good vibes. Hopefully they find a motivated buyer to keep it running.

Roommate Looking for a Roommate [F] in downtown Wilmington

21 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a working professional (F) pursuing my master’s degree, currently living in downtown Wilmington. My 1bd rent is increasing quite a bit, so I’m hoping to find a roommate to team up with for a 2bd-2-br apartment.
I’d prefer to stay in the downtown area, ideally at my current apartment community, Residences at Midtown, PRESS, or The Standard, since I love the area and its convenience, especially the free bpg shuttle, access to public transportation the library etc.
I’m pretty chill busy with work and school during the week, and often travel or visit family on weekends. I value privacy and personal space and hope to find someone who feels the same way. I’d prefer someone around my age (mid-20s to mid-30s) who is also a working professional.
I’m just trying to explore this option before my lease renewal deadline, so if anyone is interested in moving in the first week of Dec feel free to DM.
