Taylor Swift Thanks Delaware Valley

Taylor Swift Thanks Delaware Valley

Taylor spend the first 10 years of her life in Berks County PA.   She was born in 1989 and raised in Wyomissing PA, outside of Reading.

This area is served by Philadelphia radio and TV stations and is part of the extended Delaware Valley.  Taylor spent family summer vacations in Stone Harbor, Cape May County New Jersey.  So it's only natural that when she brought the Era's tour to Lincoln Financial Field, she would consider these her "hometown" shows.

With Philly being the closest town on the tour to the area she spent her early years, I say why not claim Philly as your hometown Taylor!

Oddly enough, not everyone agrees with Taylor's passion that Philly is her hometown, which I think is just silly.

I was proud that she considered an area that WJBR serves as her home area.  I loved the good vibes Taylor's 3 shows and the tens of thousands of Swifties brought to our region the entire Mothers Day Weekend.

Having been a lifelong resident of the Delaware Valley Region and having gone to many concerts over the  years, I've never seen anything like it!

Taylor took to social media thanking us!

She said "Philly was a dream"!

On behalf all Delaware Valley Swifties, I say ...thank YOU Taylor for giving them some of the best nights of their lives-and making their dreams come true!

Go Birds!

Dover Is Home To Delaware's Best Bloody Mary

EVERYONE has a different Bloody Mary recipe.

EVERYONE also claims their Bloody is the best Bloody around.

Either way you squeeze it, the Bloody Mary is a polarizing cocktail.

It could either get your day started, or help you get over the night before.

The famous drink has been around for a LONG time.

I shockingly know some people whose go-to drink is the Bloody Mary, but I have always known it as a hangover cure.

Of course a little "hair of the dog" helps, but the other ingredients in the mixer are sure to wake you up the day after a full shift at the local watering hole.

Tomato juice and salt can really help replace and retain the electrolytes you may have lost late in the evening.

The Bloody is packed with Vitamin C and B6 both known to help recover.

Of course adding your favorite alcohol to the drink will keep pushing your hangover back...because you are just loading up on more spirits.

The drink can also aid as a catalyst to get your appetitive back on track. The mix of ingredients help stimulate your belly and tastebuds.

As summer approaches and the days get longer, as well as the nights, a Bloody Mary in the morning can help that beach trip be a little more bearable.

So where is the best Bloody?

Well, Dover Is Home To Delaware's Best Bloody Mary.

Here are the Top 5 Bloody Mary spots in Delaware according to YELP:

Grey Fox Grille & Public House is located at 140 S State St Dover, DE 19901.
One YELP review said "Went for brunch this past Sunday and were pleasantly surprised.

Was made exactly like I would have done and ingredients tasted fresh."

The Celtic Pub is located 699 Jimmy Dr Ste 6 & 7 Smyrna, DE 19977.
