The bright side of the development proposed for the Anne Barczewski farm near Glasgow is all of the historical names the developer can put on new streets and stores: Lord Cornwallis Corner, Philadelphia Campaign Circle, General Howe's Hot Dogs, Lafayette's Lattes, Major John Andre's Scarves and Neckties.
If Delaware allows one of the prime vestiges of its Revolutionary War era to get paved, it might as well go all the way. We should change our state's nickname from the First State to Second Rate. Stick a fork in state pride, it's done.
