Riverfront Market is a glorified food court housed in a redeveloped brick and beam warehouse on the…read morebanks of the Christina River in Wilmington, DE. It was built under the auspices of the state funded Riverfront Development Corporation in the late 1990s. It is an interesting destination in a part of town that was weed filled lots and dilapidated buildings prior to the large investment of taxpayer funds. It is much better to reestablish a functional, economically viable commercial center than to leave it forgotten and abandoned. The mix of dining choices comes from all locally owned food outlets of varying ethnicity, including, Mexican, Thai, Italian, cheesesteak and Korean green grocer. New kitchens are taking the place of those that have not survived. With hours from 6 to 6, it is primarily a lunch choice, with only the Mexican place open for business when I arrived at 4 on a Friday. The rest were already locked down, or being cleaned and straighten in preparation for the next day. The building is historically attractive, a pleasant place to walk around or sit at the many tables around the retail space or the second story open balconies. I was the only customer in the house and had time to explore before and after eating my tacos carnitas. It was disappointing that they were unable to sustain their businesses the entire day, but the market has made it this far (with possible subsidies), and the city and state should assure that it can continue to attract people to this part of town.

Thought this was a market. It was more of a luncheon place to buy meals. There was little produce…read morethere

I travel quite a bit but not usually by train. I decided I was long overdue for a long distance…read moretrain ride. This is my return trip to Atlanta from Wilmington DE. I have passed through this station many times but never boarded here until this day. I had a few bags and luggage. The station is not small but ut definitely does not compare to the size of 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. There are several entrances around the perimeter of the station. Luckily I found one that has a ramp as many of the doors have a set of steps to go up and down. The station is very bright with a lot of light coming from an atrium ceiling. There are several staircases and escalators that lead upstairs to the tracks. Announcements are made frequently and loudly. I requested the help of a Red Cap. He was very accommodating to me as I also had a handicap ticket. He took my luggage to the baggage counter and had them checked. The attendant also assisted me when it was time to the tracks via the elevator and directly to my train car. I would gladly use this location any time again in the future.

This was an easy-to-navigate station. I had traveled through here previously but it had been years…read more Usually I'd travel straight to Philly, but I have family in deep south Jersey who retrieved me here. The station is on the smaller side and very easy to navigate. They make ample announcements for incoming trains. The area around the station is pretty busy.

I live in a section of the city that I've happily discovered is surrounded by libraries and each one has its own character. Visited the North Wilmington branch for the first time last week. It's definitely one of the smaller branches. There's a daycare attached to it which is nice and so is the staff. Their DVD collection is small as well but I was still able to find new releases there. You'd be surprised to know these public libraries get new releases about the same time Redbox and Netflix does. All you need is a membership and practice good borrowing habits. Another plus, they have their own parking lot. Big deal since this branch is on the very busy Market St. heading towards Philadelphia Pike.
