FORMER Marylander here

[cnemikeman]

I'm a former Marylander.....used to live on the Eastern Shore for many years.
I'd like to say hello to all my fellow enthusiasts.

Welcome Mike.
How do you compare Chesapeake bay blue crabs to Texas blue crabs? Make you homesick?

 

[Spot77]

It's a shame what the shore is turning into....you probably won't miss it, even if you could recognize it.....

What ever could you mean??? I like to drive through the country on my way to Ocean City and look at the amber waves of grai.........houses and strip malls for 3 whole damn bloody hours .

 

[cnemikeman]

My family still lives there, and I'll be visiting in June for my brother's wedding....... I don't miss the food, well, except maybe scrapple. I'm not a seafood guy, so it doesn't bother me. Steak is better here.

Mike,
Bring back some steak with ya and I'll trade you for some scrapple!

Mike,

I'm sure that life is much better in the United States than Maryland anyway.

When you get to the 6 mile back up at the Bay Bridge make sure you've got gas in your car........

I take issue with Spot77's comment on the shore. I was born in Berlin, just outside of Ocean City, in 1954 and while this area has changed alot it still beats anything west of the bay.

Life begins EAST of the bay Bridge

Well I suppose THAT part of the shore is still decent. I love spending long weekends down at Shad Landing and all up and down the Pocomoke. Nice fishing, nice river.

I'll restate my claim that the KENT ISLAND area of the shore is unrecognizable.
