There are many ways of looking at a landscape. Some people see trees; some see streets. Larry and Michael DePalma see the American dream writ in homes and offices.

As the proprietors of DePalma Realty at 111 N. High Street, the DePalmas understand the profound importance of place to the individual. Larry has been selling real estate since 1978, joined by his son Michael in 2018. Yet, “selling” doesn’t begin to capture the deep discernment necessary to bring people and places together.

“We are helping the citizens of Millville realize their vision of the good life,” says Larry.

“I think we both believe that owning a home is the way to prosperity for the American family,” Michael adds. “If you own a house now, you will be better off financially down the line.”

And they have certainly made waves in their industry. Larry has served as president of the Cumberland County Board of Realtors three different times and was twice chosen as Realtor of the Year, alongside numerous other leadership roles.

Michael, carrying that legacy forward, will serve as president of the Millville Chamber of Commerce next year. He is a member of the Holly City Development Corporation and has already been named Realtor of the Year, earning his own distinct honors.

None of these accolades, however, stand in the way of their close coordination with the vision-seekers and dream-builders of Millville.

“We’ve always believed in giving back to the community,” says Larry, “for all that it did for my family.”

“With real estate, you are involved with so many things that it becomes a win-win scenario,” Michael says. “The more we give to people, the more others give back to us.”

PORTRAIT OF A CITY - PARADISE PIZZA. Photo of Star Yaman by Bill Horin/ArtC. Story by Rob Laymon/ArtC. Commissioned by Holly City Development Corporation

No one says making pizza leads to wandering. You don’t hear folk songs about itinerant pizza-making nomads lured by the sound of train whistles, or riding town-to-town in the circuit of pie-spinning jamborees.

Nevertheless, Star Yaman has been around. Yaman has worked at restaurants and diners for 35 years, in such a variety of locations it would make your head spin. The common theme was pizza. She worked in diners for a while but prefers pizza restaurants. She was a General Manager at Pats Pizza, a chain of 50 shops in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, for 25 years.

“Every time they opened a new one, it seemed, I was there,” she said. “I was at the Lancaster location for 14 years.”

In 2016 she opened her own restaurant, now called Paradise Pizza, once called Four Seasons Pizza Restaurant, at 2 E. Main Street, and is happy to be venturing no further.

“I don’t want to move anymore,” she said. “Let me do my own thing.”

It turns out that Yaman’s own thing is a menu filled with wraps, classic Italian dishes, cold and hot subs and sandwiches, stromboli, calzones, gourmet pizza, burgers, classic clubs and much else. A new menu just went up, with a change or two in item particulars, but no change at all to the depth of deliciousness.

All this adds up to a lot of time spent working, but it’s working in the service of something Yaman loves.

“Yeah, I have been working seven days a week, and many hours a day, in addition to being a mother, and it’s hard. But it’s worth it.”

PORTRAIT OF A CITY - PLOWMAN'S WINDOWS & DOORS. Photo by Bill Horin/ArtC. Story by Rob Laymon/ArtC. Commissioned by Holly City Development Corporation

Joe and Carole Plowman know several ways to brighten a life.

You can do it by installing windows and doors in clients’ houses, as the Plowmans have done for many years with their family business, Plowman’s Windows and Doors on Vine Street, letting in the freshness of the outside and the light of the sun.

Or you can use your community engagement to spread goodwill, donate time and even sponsor money to deserving causes in town, as the Plowmans have also done for many years.

They have more than once received the city’s Pride in Millville Award. And they have at all times received the gratitude of citizens for their work—with Millville Babe Ruth baseball, Little League, Youth Soccer and much else.

“Of course there are limits to how much time we can put out,” said Carole Plowman. “But to me it’s very important to keep extracurricular activities available for youth, because there is so little available to them.”

This work begins to look familial, which is also satisfying. Joe and Carole have two children and a grandson in the business, along with Joe’s sister, and employees who have worked with them for 10 years or more.

This wealth of satisfied customers adds to that. With such a long tenure in town, much of their business comes through referrals. Sometimes, though, customers hesitate to move forward, and then Carole Plowman steps in.

“I will occasionally get that phone call afterward that says I can’t believe how differently this job went compared to what my expectations were.

“We always make a follow-up call, and I always hear about how polite our installers were. It was as if we were never there, except now they have these new windows and doors.”
