Pocomoke has a historic district?

That reminds me of the time City Council was asked to fund conversion of Duncan Brother building into the Discovery Center. Barbara Tull said she needed $25,000 to fix the roof on the existing building to which Councilman Joe Jackson replied, "The whole damn building isn't worth $25,000!"

One of the more historic buildings in Pocomoke is the railroad station but it was left to wrack and ruin so it's hard for me to have any sympathy for anything on Second Street being called historic.
