  The Delmarva Chicken Festival was a family favorite for people of Lower Slower Delaware. The festival ended in 2014.

• Naamans Road Drive In Movies

  Drive in movies aren’t much of a thing anymore across the nation, but Naamans Road in Wilmington was once the place to be.

• Merry Go Round Trucks in Your Neighborhood

  As a young writer of this article, I actually never knew these existed. Mobile amusement rides that would just happen to pass through a neighborhood similar to the ice cream truck.

• Delaware Toy Museum

  This strange and small museum in Wilmington ended up closing in 2007.

• Kahunaville

  Kahunaville was a favorite for everyone who stepped through the volcanic doors. With talking tiki trees, people dressed up, summer concert series, and drinks, it’s no wonder it became the nightlife scene of Wilmington.

  If you remember seeing the raceway when you went to the Regal Cinema Brandywine location, that was Funscape. An arcade, racecars, laser tag, they had it all. It was the largest entertainment and cinema complex under one roof.

• The Newark Mini Mall and Arcade

  Newark’s Mini Mall wasn’t anything big or intimidating, but it’s home to many memories for teenagers who grew up with it.

  This is a more historic location. The State Theater was located on Main Street in Newark and was actually demolished in the 80s. The location is now apartments and restaurants.
