accidenTaLLy Wes andeRson WES ANDERSON Nicknamed “The Diamond State” after Thomas Jefferson famously called it a “jewel” among the states, Delaware is a treasure trove of history and delight. From its beautiful beaches and swanky accommodations to cultural performances and aviation attractions, America’s lowest-lying state promises to lift you to new heights. Journey with us through this compact but captivating gem — we might even discover buried treasure at sea! Accidentally The Grand Opera House Wilmington, DE | est. 1871 According to those who’ve braved the graveyard shift at this historic venue, the night often brings more than just quiet halls. Murmurs echo, glasses clink, and an eerie sense of unseen company hangs in the air. Among the more familiar phantoms is one particularly laid-back spirit affectionately known as “Tom.” A regular of sorts, Tom has been spotted dozing in the same chair just outside what used to be the Masonic offices — apparently unfazed by time, guests, or the occasional ghost story. Some say he’s just resting up for the next show. Accidentally Wes Anderson ©Marjorie Becker, CAP 68
