The heart of Delaware County

Media, Latin for ‘middle,’ is known as the heart of Delaware County, not only because it’s the county seat located right in the center, but because of its commitment to diversity and inclusiveness, which inspired the nickname, “Everybody’s Hometown.” Realtor Jody Allen Evangelista with Coldwell Banker Realty has lived in Media for more than 50 years. She says, "Everybody fits into this town. It doesn't matter who you are, what you believe or who you vote for. Everyone is welcome."

Fair trade shopping opportunities

As America’s first fair trade town, Media lives up to its nickname by improving lives in the community and around the world. Several businesses provide Fair Trade products in an effort to support developing countries. Whether it’s Haitian Blue Coffee from Ocean City Coffee Co., a unique gift from Earth & State or global fashion accessories from Ten Thousand Villages, residents and visitors have plenty of options to support the initiative. Along with these shops, there’s a Trader Joe's for grocery shopping and dozens of local restaurants that line State Street, providing a multicultural dining experience. Fellini Café serves Italian classics alongside live opera music. Brick & Brew is known for its lively atmosphere, gourmet American eats and its famous whiskey sour. After dinner, residents like to catch a show at The Media Theatre, which has been entertaining the community since 1927. State Street transforms into a European-style strip on Wednesdays from May through September for Dining Under the Stars. "It's a beautiful thing," says Evangelista, "The restaurants stay open late and set up tables in the middle of the street and everyone comes out to have a good time."
