After the war, the holiday was revived, and the election returns were announced amid rousing speeches, blaring bands, delicious food and a ceremonial burying of the political hatchet. On Return Day, politicians and other dignitaries parade through Georgetown while the crowd enjoyed ox roast sandwiches. The use of carriages, carts and antique vehicles helped to perpetuate the carnival atmosphere of the 19th century, when Return Day provided a way to make Sussex County elections more civil.
The nomination of Sen. Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for vice president has created extra interest in Sussex County in this year's presidential election. Whatever the result, the gathering at Georgetown on the Thursday after election day will maintain the spirit that Scharf observed over a century ago: 'Everyone endeavors to make 'Return Day' a hilarious one, and all seem willing to perpetuate a custom which is now peculiar to Sussex County alone.'

etc. That's upscale. Another Target and another Best Buy isn't upscale. While better than a 99-cent store, it isn't exactly Nordstrom. Face it, this city doesn't have the demographics to do upscale. However, is it too much to ask for a decent chain restaurant or two?
