Make Mr. Scrooge part of your holiday season! Get your tickets here!

Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Something big is coming back to Delaware’s dining scene, and it’s certainly going to make everyone who loves good food think about making the drive up. A beloved restaurant that closed earlier this year is reopening with a fresh team and a new chapter in the works. The mastermind behind it all is staying mostly behind the scenes while letting the crew take the spotlight. From menus to day-to-day operations, this comeback is shaping up to be something special.

⚽️ Lower.com Field, Home Of The Columbus Crew, Is Getting A New Name
Lower.com Field is getting a new name for the 2026 season, and honestly? I’m not mad about it. Lower.com is sticking with the Crew, just not on the roof, so let the wildly irresponsible name speculation begin.
