Tourism kept the eastern shore afloat along with farming. With no new industry in years you can't create new jobs. The state of Maryland is so poorlÿ run that it's going to be nearly impossible to fix. The good jobs have left,kids leave and most don't come back. The few jobs that remain pay little. The local media paints the area as if nothing is wrong and that's not true. The gangs and crime are well involved here. ECI has been releasing imates into Somerst county and that makes things worse. The tourism numbers don't lie,they are going down. The area doesn't offer anything new and looks rundown in many places. If things aren't looked at clearly here things won't improve..........this area isn't a good place to live and work anymore unless you want to be poor and bored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-34759083549024112772013-07-30T19:55:52.207-04:002013-07-30T19:55:52.207-04:00Too many fat people living in Crisfield.

I recently had work to do there and am truly amazed by the perseverance of the people that call Crisfield home. <br /><br />I think Somerset Co gets the short end of the stick in a lot of things sadly. I wish their schools were "better", and I would call it home, sadly it does not seem like a priority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-49083820102360299952013-07-30T16:18:40.030-04:002013-07-30T16:18:40.030-04:00The sea level is not rising, the land is sinking.The sea level is not rising, the land is sinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-61563528433686624342013-07-30T16:04:43.910-04:002013-07-30T16:04:43.910-04:00I was down in Newberry,SC for a week and for a pop...I was down in Newberry,SC for a week and for a population of about 10,000 they have 15 manufacturing factories from Komatsu,Cat, Kis Tire,etc.Is Maryland that unfriendly to business that big companies don't want to come here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-78466989786507138142013-07-30T16:00:50.355-04:002013-07-30T16:00:50.355-04:00If the lawmakers keep imposing more laws and regul...If the lawmakers keep imposing more laws and regulations against business and development, yes Crisfield is done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-71655454552692723982013-07-30T15:47:25.508-04:002013-07-30T15:47:25.508-04:00God will decide if Crisfield survives,not man.God will decide if Crisfield survives,not man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
