Newark, Delaware SperlingViews

I have lived in Newark for 27 years. My great-grandmother owned the Windy Hills development when it was a farm, and my father even grew up in the same house that I did. I love this town, because even though I have traveled through most of the States (and over seas), this town does not compare with many other towns. There is great diversity, nightlife, friendly people, great schools and universities, and lots of culture. Also, this town is a short drive from the beaches; major cities like New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore; and also there are mountains nearby too! There's always something to do in Newark!
