except they are pronounced differently and locals know how to differentiate between the two in two different states by how you say their names!

since the Biden Center is on campus. If so, we might be evacuated since our building is close by. Son drove into Wilmington for class early this morning and said a few streets were cordoned off (DuPont, Broom, and another one) with heavy police and other law enforcement presence. That was also reported as being in regards to a package, similar to the others, addressed to Joe.

So glad my daughter opted NOT to take pictures of the building housing the Biden Center on Tuesday. She said she started to (for a Historic Preservation project), but decided against it when she saw just how many extra cameras, etc. were up on the grounds. I told her she could have gone in and asked permission (that's what I would have done), but she found another building in the area to photograph. Now I'm glad she didn't even ask.

so who knows?

DE is such a small state that they will probably limit it to the Wilmington/immediate suburb area POs (which is New Castle County). But since most of the LEOs (including feds) have a "if you see something, say something" announcement out there, I expect people will be reporting all sorts of things for a bit. All the POs should have video surveillance footage available though and the hope is that the archive footage has been successfully recorded and correctly stored (and not overwritten, etc).

The one her in NYC is named after William Houston https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Houstoun_(lawyer) - and was honored by the street name a few years before Sam Houston was even born.

The Clintons are in New Castle, since it covers Chappaqua.

(I saw Katonah also but that's been corrected). New Castle covers Bedford, Armonk, parts of Chappaqua and probably parts of Mt. Kisco. Katonah is further north.

It is more accurate to simply cut & paste rather than transcribe the headlines so the formatting from the original is often preserved no matter how inaccurately that may convey tone.
