Bear, Delaware - Lack of Road Signs

Lack of Road Signs

Oddly, there are no roadsigns on any area roads indicating directions to or the location of Bear. The Bear interchange on Delaware Route 1 points to Elkton, Maryland and the mysterious "State Road". US Route 40 uses Glasgow and Wilmington. Route 7, which passes through the original "downtown" village of Bear, uses Red Lion and Christiana for directional signs. Nearby major roads intersection 1, 7, and 40, such as US Route 13, Delaware Route 273, Delaware Route 71, and Delaware Route 72 also make no indication of Bear's existence.

Famous quotes containing the words lack of, lack, road and/or signs:

    It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    What makes philosophy so tedious is not the profundity of philosophers, but their lack of art; they are like physicians who sought to cure a slight hyperacidity by prescribing a carload of burned oyster-shells.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    There is a road that turning always
    Cuts off the country of Again.
    Archers stand there on every side
    And as it runs time’s deer is slain,
    And lies where it has lain.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

    Mister death who signs papers
    then eats
    telegraphs simply: Shoot them
    then eats
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
