TGIF, First State.
It’s the kick-off of a long weekend, though if you’re not in school or sending someone to school each day, there’s no reason to call it summer’s end. After all, post-Labor Day is a great time to hit the beaches, warm September evenings are great for long walks and riverfront fun, and there’s still plenty of tomatoes and sweet corn to go around.
Are you headed out for some sun and sea this weekend ? Here’s your holiday Beach Guide.

The final days of Govatos Chocolates after serving Delaware sweets for more than a century
The chocolate has been going out the door faster than Nick Govatos ever expected.
When the owner of Delaware's landmark Govatos Chocolates wrote a post on social media that he was permanently closing the business at the end of August after his family had provided nostalgic sweets to the state's residents (and beyond) for 130 years, Govatos was not expecting the kind of response he has been receiving.
Read Patricia Talorico’s story to learn why the landmark shop is closing, how customers are responding, what will happen to the building and when the last signature box will go out the door.
