Maybe SPD police chief duncan can bring pizza to the perps?
I live in west ocean city and I never step foot in town during the summer. It gets worse every year. Ocean city is the farthest thing from a family resort. The boardwalk is disgusting. The restaurants (with the exception of maybe two) are marginal at best. Ocean city has lost any charm it used to have and is a sea of ugly condos, drunks and sunsations.
Until people are able to break the generational nostalgia issue they will continue to flock in.Mon and dad brought them there as children as did Their mom and dad.That same mentality affects practically everything we do.It's almost like we're programmed to repeat the mistakes our predecessors made.Be adventurous and break the mold.
I agree-It is a sea of ugly cement and plastic buildings with no character left whatsoever. The Powers That Be lack/lacked significantly in forward thinking skills. They allowed the cement/plastic monstrosities to be built-all 3 bedrooms which commanded high prices therefore higher rents resulting in more people, more traffic, more problems and more crime. Now their brilliant idea for crime is cameras. Whoever came up with that idea needs a brain transplant. While cameras may help in solving crime, prevention would be the smart thing to focus on and should be the main priority. Baltimore City has cameras everywhere and we can see how that's worked there. The answer is to flood the town with LE and arrest arrest arrest and then for the courts to do their job and sentence harshly.
If you don't care for it then don't go. I don't like Salisbury, and except for DMV I avoid it. I wouldn't rant on and on about why I don't go to Salisbury. Why do you feel the need to dump on Ocean City? It seems like all you have to do is put the words Ocean City on this blog and you are guaranteed to get 10 comments disparaging it from Ocean City experts who admittedly haven't set foot there for 10 or 15 years
It's called constructive criticism 9:19 and the Mayor and the Silly Council would benefit immensely by opening their eyes and ears and acting on the concerns of what people write and say. It's how one learns and judging from what OC is becoming those mentioned are in dire need of some schooling.
9:19. We aren't "dumping" on Ocean City. We are making comments based on our observations. Oh and by the way I have lived in west ocean city for over 25 years and I can tell you it has changed for the worse. Why do you care if people are critical of Ocean City? It's the truth. All I can say is thank the Lord for Assateague!
Ocean needs a full scale riot to burn it to the ground. Then it will get the necessary upgrades and improvements the place needs. It looks like a dump!
I read that they found the shells from the gun along with drugs where he was shot. How do these people know where or who to sell drugs from/to when they are not from this area?

Anyone have any updates? Did they catch the shooter? Victim condition? I did read in the comments the victim is 25 yrs old.

Well now, why would anyone do that in that nice family oriented town?
Your blinded by money mayor and council are and will continue to believe OC is a family resort. Let's approve more liquor licenses for the families.

It makes them all feel better let it happen.

I predict that it will get worse in the next few months. I hope I am wrong.

Im surprised they don't have cameras all over OC like they do in Baltimore. Then again maybe they do....
