That's too funny, I grew up up the street from the kicken chicken, and my family knows the owner quite well. Lewes is a truly beautiful town with a rich history that I never tire of telling visitors about(giant history nerd)
Sounds like you also found what we used to call the "secret beach" by Roosevelt Inlet. One of my favorite places to go and relax, wade in the Bay when there aren't too many jellyfish. Right now it's all frozen over, which is truly surreal. Last time i saw that was 2015, and before that my mom remembers it happening in the late 70s.
It sucks that we don't get as much snow as some, but i have truly loved my life living here, just wish i could afford an actual home down here. Being a resort area and the massive amount of transplants from the big cities, its nearly impossible. I truly hope the county government down here gets a thought in their collective heads to stop the reckless development, but I'm not holding my breath,.
