Touche!
For all you who said Delaware was devoid of yiddishkeit, check it: Rehoboth Shul Dedicated. I doubt you're going to be able to catch mincha there, but it's a start.
An interesting tidbit from the article, which had been the subject of speculation on our recent trip, was the origins of the name "Rehoboth":
Known as the "Nation's Summer Capital," Rehoboth Beach once had property restrictions barring Jews. The resort was established as a Methodist camp meeting site in the 1870s, and the reference to the biblical Rehovot is not lost on its religious residents.
The real secret to getting more Jews to Rehoboth? Get Thrasher's a hechser. If you build it, they will come.
