Question 10 things I love about northern Delaware?

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

cuff822 is on a distinguished road
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.
