‘Johnny U’ items donated to Berlin

Sandra L. Unitas, the widow of Colts legend Johnny Unitas, met with Berlin Mayor Gee Williams last Friday to donate a few items to the town.

Among them was a pool table, once owned by “Johnny U,” that the town plans to give to nonprofit Worcester Youth and Family Counseling.

She also offered a custom TV cabinet that the couple commissioned just before he passed away about 14 years ago. Williams said that item could be a good fit in the town’s visitor’s center on Main Street, where videos are shown of different attractions and special events in the town.

The encounter was something of an accident. Unitas was in town shopping and visiting a restaurant, and walked into Town Hall to ask if she was parked in an appropriate space.

Everything works for Berlin.Maybe it's the setting,geographic location,etc,or maybe it's just the town attitude.Whatever it is,that town is quite the success story.

They need to auction the pool table off! Itll be destroyed by the kids! I'd be interested in it!

Berlin and Worcester County have a completely different mindset from Wicomico.
Backroom deals don't rule the day. They don't have a Creamer and Cannon working personal agendas.

Berlin's geography works in its favor too. All the section 8 housing and run down houses are on the OTHER side of Rt. 113 providing a natural barrier. Its a simple fact but one few will openly acknowledge.

Look at the givers and the takers. Wicomico only has takers. Worcester only has givers!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE! !

Ha ha like Rt 113 is the Berlin Wall give me a break. You really think a road is the reason? Absurd

Yes Berlin is a great little town, but like all other little towns behind the scenes runs it. Take off the rose colored glasses.
As to Worcester it goes as the tourists go. They are the givers of their money and the County is the taker.
I'll be darned if I know why so many rich Yankees want to move there when tax friendly DE is just a few miles away.
