Delaware Themed Bucket List Has Kent County At The Top

We all have bucket list items and this Kent County spot tops Delaware’s bucket list rankings.

Most bucket lists have things like skydiving and travel at the top of them.

My personal bucket list mostly consists of fancy restaurants and countries I haven’t been too.

But a new bucket list from Alot.com ranks must-see things for the state of Delaware.

Number 1 on the list is in Kent County.

According to Alot.com the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge is a top bucket list item.

“Spanning nearly 16,000 acres, this wildlife refuge serves to protect the natural order of Delaware’s animal and plant life. It was first created in 1937 as a breeding ground for the waterfowl that would migrate to the area in winter. Don’t miss the Allee House, a farmhouse dating back to before the birth of our nation” Alot.com says.

The wildlife refuge has been around since 1937 and is mostly marshland but does have freshwater wetlands.

The Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge is a great spot to see Bald Eagles and Diamond Back Terrapins.

Alot.com’s Delaware Bucket List also lists the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and the Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library in their top 3 items.

The Hummers Parade in Middletown also made the list.

I had heard of the Hummers Parade but never really dove into it, and now I feel like it’s a can’t miss!

I love how this parade is solely sponsored by the residents of Middletown and is just one big parody of the past year. It’s a great way to unwind and put current events in a comical light.

The Running of the Bulls at the Starboard in Dewey and the Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville also made the Delaware Bucket List rankings.

You can see the Top 10 right here.

12 Popular Fast Food Joints Delawareans Are Missing Out On

When driving down the road in Wilmington or Newark or Rehoboth Beach, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of popular fast food options.  There’s a McDonald’s, Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell or some other drive-thru fast food stop on pretty much every corner.

I was recently in Southwest Florida and I did take notice of some fast food options we don’t have up here in Delaware.  It got me thinking.  Are we missing out on some dynamite fast food spots?

In doing a quick Google search to find out about the most popular fast food brands across the country, I quickly learned that we are in fact missing out on some very popular options across the country.  I have tried several of these places, so I can speak from experience.   We may need to start some petitions.

Luckily, we now have the long awaited, first Raising Cane’s location, so that’s one brand we can add to the list of what we do have here in the First State.  The stand alone restaurant, with a drive-thru, is located at 127 Grove Lane in Newark.

According to The Raising Cane’s website, their concept is simple and unique.  They say they only have ONE LOVE – quality chicken finger meals! At Raising Cane’s you get an exceptionally high quality product served quickly and conveniently. We can do this because we offer a limited menu.  You can learn more about Raising Cane’s here.

I haven’t tried Raising Canes yet, but I am really looking forward to giving the chicken fingers a try!

So, what are these 12 fast food brands we are missing out on in Delaware?
