- T Fu the years, students, residents, shop owners and business- men keep coming back for a touch of small town street atmosphere that has become so rare. To students, Main Street is a place to shop, meet people, eat or just relax. For the over 21 crowd, Main Street provides a few places to drink and be merry. Main Street provides an escape from studying and the ever shrinking dorm room. Shop owners rely on these stu- dents for much of their business. New businesses pop up everyday while old landmarks like the State Theater, Rhodes Pharmacy and the Luncheonette Diner close their doors. To the locals, Main Street is a place to treat the chil- dren to TCBY Yogurt or Scott's lce Cream. Main Street is the location for annual events like Newark Night, The Fourth of July Parade and the Memorial Day Parade. Much to the resident's dismay, Main Street is consid- ered the hottest, fastest race track in all of Delaware. Newark police are constantly struggling to catch the ho- trodders and chasing away all the teenagers who watch the souped-up cars race by. For the business people Main Street provides a pleth- ora of eateries for lunch hour. Any craving from Pizza to seafood can be satisfied on Main Street. The sites are constantly changing. The cosmetic ap- pearance of Main Street is different today then it was freshman year and four years from now it will look different too. The future Main Street will house two new shopping malls or office buildings at the top and bottom of the road. Pro- gress is feared by some but inevitable. MNo matter how it changes, Main Street will always hold a special place in every UofD student's heart. 24 Student Life
