A couple of hurricane-related Monday closings.

Most businesses and restaurants are open today, but if you have much of a drive, you should call to make sure.  Other than that, here are a couple of places that need a little more time to clean-up and repair.  I'll add to this if I see any more.
  • The nature center (and surrounding trails) at White Clay Creek State Park, off of Hopkins Road, is closed until further notice.  The wooden bridge that connects Hopkins Rd with their parking lot was swept down the road and needs to be rebuilt.  I imagine that won't take more than a few days.  Other park entrances are open.

  • Brandywine River Museum reports that they're still closed today, Monday, but they expect to be open on Tuesday.  I'd assume that means there's still some mopping to be done from the body of water it's named after.  All other area museums seem to be open.

  • The Wilmington and Western Railroad fared relatively well, with no bridges or rails out, but there are some downed trees that need to be cleaned up.  They expect to be open for business by the weekend.

But maybe you own a small business that has been damaged.  Delaware Small Business Association has posted a link to a national small business association website that lists resources for rebuilding and helps business owners navigate the process.  Details here.
