TIME MACHINE ... This Sunday's Preview.



1884.. An enormous whale is captured in Pungoteague Creek; 1969.. Construction of Pocomoke City's baby beltway to get underway; 1998.. Eastern Shore fans look for debut of new Maryland Fall pro-baseball league; 1919.. 20,000 see firemen's parade in Salisbury; 1994.. Pocomoke residents on the lookout for an escaped pet cougar; and more from a 1902 article about Tangier Island. 

Although you may not find all of these items in a history book, they are a part of our local history and you can read more about it this Sunday right here at The Pocomoke Public Eye! 


Do you have a local memory to share with PPE readers.. such as a big snow storm, a favorite school teacher, a local happening, something of interest your parents or grandparents told you about?  It can be just a line or two, or more if you wish. Send to tkforppe@yahoo.com and watch for it on a future TIME MACHINE posting!
