Ots because 50, 90, and 54 were backed up and people were trying st. Martins as a shortcut but when too many do that's what happens!
Every bit of this footage and more, including Hemphill's Dock road was one farm located at the end of St. Martins Neck back in 1959. My grandfather was to go to settlement in the afternoon to buy it's entirety, but was killed in a farming accident earlier that morning. It would have been his forth farm in Maryland. He also has thousands of acres of farmland/grazing land around Lewistown, Montana (three farms I think?). When they built rt.90 bridge, many years later the right of way sold for $1 million to the State of Maryland. My dad, now 88 said that his Pop only cared about the land never the buildings when buying. At the turn of the century Pop was a Christian missionary in India and later went on to marry and have 14 children.
50 was backed up to the casino, 90 was backed up to 113, and 54 was backed up to Harris Teeter. The rental offices on Coastal Hwy were mobbed with weekly renters wanting to get their keys. We don't need a 2nd Bay crossing. We need another resort because this one is full.
For the life of me - I cannot understand why anyone would want to vacation in Ocean City. It has been like this since I was a boy - and I am now almost 60 years old.
When Lighthouse Sound was being filled - I can remember dump truck after dump truck being lined up just like this. Jim Caine eventually ran out of money - and was also stopped by the EPA - but I still remember the lined up dump trucks just like it was yesterday. Thousands and thousands of fill being brought-in to fill-in newly created bulkheaded lots in areas off 94st, and just south of the Rt. 90 bridge.
