Baby Jesus has found a home in Rehoboth
For the second straight year, Rehoboth’s controversial crèche has found a home in the outdoor patio of Grotto Pizza on Rehoboth Avenue. The location of the crèche hasn’t changed, but instead of last year’s decades-old figurines, this year features a brand-new scene. Also new this year are message boards – one with scripture from the Bible, the other calling out the city for hypocrisy.
Knights of Columbus Star of the Sea Council members installing the nativity scene declined to comment on whether or not they were going to follow through with a threatened lawsuit over the issue.
Chris Flood has been working for the Cape Gazette since early 2014 and has the local parking passes to prove it. He currently covers Rehoboth Beach and Henlopen Acres, but has also covered Dewey Beach and the state government. He covers environmental stories, business stories, random stories on subjects he finds interesting and has a column called ‘Choppin’ Wood’ that runs every other week. Additionally, Chris moonlights as the company’s circulation manager, which primarily means fixing boxes during daylight hours that are jammed with coins, but sometimes means delivering papers in the middle of the night. He’s a graduate of the University of Maine and the Landing School of Boat Building & Design. People are often surprised to learn that Chris was able to convince someone to marry him and, more surprisingly, convince that person to then have kids with him.
