My Neighborhood Cafe


Bellefonte, Delaware is the small suburb of Wilmington where I grew up.

About half a square mile, Bellefonte is a neighborhood of Wilmington most Delawareans would recognize if mentioned.

A blue- and white-collar town, my stomping grounds tends to be middle- to lower-middle class families.

Sounds so sterile when statics are included, but I wanted to give everyone an idea of the area. Brandywine Boulevard (Bellefonte’s major road) is littered with consignment stores, antique shops, and kids playing.

Most stores are converted homes. The Bellefonte Cafe is no different. Located on the corner of Brandywine Boulevard and Marion Avenue, my local cafe is certainly an institution among Bellefontians (or Bellefontites?).

I wrote a features story about the Cafe and its proprietor!
