3 Delaware towns featured in list of 'America's 100 Most Charming Main Streets'

Three Delaware towns are featured in a list of 100 most charming main streets in America according to an online survey of “seasoned travelers.”

The list was built by Mixbook, an online photo business that sells user-customized calendars, cards and other photo products. The list was derived from an online survey of 3,000 adults chosen based on age, gender and geography, the website states.

“Main streets in towns and cities across America are lined with unique shops, cafes, and restaurants, forming the center of local culture and community,” the Mixbook website states. “From family-owned bakeries to trendy boutiques, each place adds to the town's unique character.”
