It's that time of year again- where I roll around Wilmington looking for a classy, unknown restaurant to uncover for the rest of Sports SportsHoopla. Last year, I brought you all China King on 20th and Market.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find somewhere to eat, as I was captivated by this beautiful apartment. As many of you know, I will be a junior next year, and will not be returning to the dorms at UD. Lucky for me, I found this gem on 4th and Shipley. It's a slight fixer-upper, but I think with a few ornaments and a chandelier in the study room, it could look great.

Housewarming party on Opening Day, 400 N. Shipley Street at 4:00 PM. All Hooplan Phillies fans invited!

You will need to build a door. Then after that you will need to see a shrink. Try getting a roommate to split the cost.

Check to make sure Snoop didn't cover any bodies in lime and leave em there.

Sounds like a good deal, but I'm a little concerned about the big sign that the rental company has that says "If you lived here you'd already be dead"

Get the door someone's knocking.
Not sure if it's the welcome wagon or the SWAT team tho

My camera on my phone isn't big enough, but there was also graffiti that said "RIP VACUUM E- BLOW KING" on the wall. I don't know who this Blow King guy is, but I'd like to meet him- sounds like a nice guy, paying respect to Vacuum E and all

Nothing screams class like plywood windows.
Yes, I talked to the landlord and found out the owners were heavy into paintball, and boarded up the windows to avoid being splattered. They played this cute little game with their friends over on Pine Street, and they formed a league with two teams, "The Bloods" and "The Crips." When I move in in a week, I'm definitely joining the league. I've already learned the Blood cheer- Soo Woo!!!

Actually I'm beginning to warm up to this place. I like the paintball narrative. That must be what they meant in the Wilmington Apartment finder ad when it said "Country Living in the City"
