  2. I see the ferry in the background. I rode on that ferry with my parents when I was a kid, I wish it was still operating.

  5. You can see a ferry just to the left. I don't believe they ever ran again.

  10. 7:31 You are so right. With that bridge came education, money, culture and commerce, who needs that stuff?

  13. Is that Gov. Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin in the back seat of that caddy on the left?

  14. 10:07 AM: All of those things that you mentioned already existed on this good side of the bay long before the bridge was built, with the exception of aholes moving here trying to change the way of life. It's clearly evident you are not a lifelong resident of the Eastern Shore; therefore, you will never fully understand.

    Amazing how closed minded people THINK they know all about someone else by their comment. I can tell you, as the 10:07 commenter, that I was born in a house in Worcester County, and have lived there in Worcester County, ever since. Yes, it was so long ago, that a family doctor would still come to the house and deliver babies. You wouldn't know "clearly evident" if it hit you in the head! As you are the one making assumptions based on no actual knowledge of the writer, you are the one that will never fully understand anything you read. Big man, calling others that you don't know aholes. You have mental issues.
