Well, someone had to get this ball rolling, so I thought I would ask it.
I know some big ones without visiting yet (can't due to familial obligations, but will when I can): 1. Low tax base 2. Close proximity to great medical care 3. Close proximity to fantastic major metros (Philly, NYC, DC, etc.) 4. Close to lots of wonderful cultural activities |

1. Brandywine - love that name. Sounds like a place in Middle Earth.
2. Tax free shopping. 3. Low taxes (overall) 4. Weather 5. Centrally located on East Coast 6. Small population = greater access to politicians 7. Delaware State Troopers 8. Woodlawn Trust areas (including Ramsey's farm) 9. Close to philly airport (although on the flight path - still overall a plus to me) 10. Winding back roads from 202 to Hockessin |

As the saying goes "Wilmington, two hours away from any place you would rather be." Thought that was too funny the first time I heard it. Actually I just moved back to Wilmington after a 10 year hiatus, and there are parts of the city I really do like. Now that I have a family, I cannot say enough about the parks in town, Rockford and Rockwood were regular stops last summer and fall. Looking forward to the warmer weather, but hold the humidity.
