Lack of Road Signs
Oddly, there are no roadsigns on any area roads indicating directions to or the location of Bear. The Bear interchange on Delaware Route 1 points to Elkton, Maryland and the mysterious "State Road". US Route 40 uses Glasgow and Wilmington. Route 7, which passes through the original "downtown" village of Bear, uses Red Lion and Christiana for directional signs. Nearby major roads intersection 1, 7, and 40, such as US Route 13, Delaware Route 273, Delaware Route 71, and Delaware Route 72 also make no indication of Bear's existence.

They extol the virtues of ice creams, shoe creams, cold creams;...”
