The Strand at Packet Alley, New Castle Delaware
USA

The Strand was the first street laid out by the Dutch, shortly after they founded New Castle in1651 (originally called Fort Casimir/New Amstel).  Most of the brick houses in this picture replace wooden or brick buildings that burned in the fire of 1824.  The house at 24 The Strand was home of Thomas McKean, signer of the Declaration of Independence, President of Congress, President of Delaware, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and Governor of Pennsylvania.  The house at 28 The Strand was the site of the Dutch Reformed Church, c1657.

The storefront building at 25 The Strand ("Boulden's Store") was a ship's supplies store until the early 1900's.  Its sign (currently "Ivory Soap") was visible from the river since the building at 23 The Strand had not yet been built. 

A historical marker in Packet Alley says:
     Packet boats from Philadelphia met stage coaches here for Frenchtown, Maryland, chief line of communication from North to Baltimore and South. Andrew Jackson, David Crockett, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, Lord Ashburton, Sam Houston, Louis Napoleon, Stonewall Jackson, Indians (led by Osceola and Black Hawk) en route to visit "Great Father" in Washington all passed this way.

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
