This is just a ridiculous statement all around.

Once you get north of Route 1 or 322, the traveling to Delaware goes down significantly. Yes, people in Pennsylvania go to the Total Wine in Claymont or to Christiana Mall. But once you're in Philadelphia, or north, Delaware may as well be by Washington DC for a lot of people. They just don't have a connection with us. Going to the Jersey Shore is more common or more known about than going to Delaware.
Wilmington is like Philadelphia's Providence. There's a connection, but the state line creates good separation as well.
