To the Editor,
It feels almost surreal to say, but can you believe that we are now looking back at 2020?
It was an incredibly challenging year, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the severe and unequal economic fallout it brought, a national reckoning with persistent structural racism, and...

To the Editor,
“The Marketing Plan” for Wilmington needs a critique.
First of all, this plan or any plan can’t help businesses that can’t or don’t know how to help themselves! There are easy principles, Economics 101: First, location, easy access to the business by foot or phone;...

Any aware person knows that Donald Trump is a lawless miscreant: an authoritarian who can’t see beyond himself; a sociopath incapable of empathy; and a pathological liar. Since his presidential defeat, he has toyed with a coup d’etat by encouraging his followers to invade...

As the owners of the Airbnb property referenced in Mike Eldred’s January 7 article “Dover homeowner says Airbnb rental is clogging access to his property,” we were distressed by Mr. Eldred’s eagerness to take Mr. Sedlack’s specious claims at face value. Since purchasing the...

To the Editor,
Shall I say it? It’s not polite. It may be “divisive.”
