We have taken three cruises with American Cruise Lines. The first was up the Mississippi River, then from Boston to Maine and the New England coast and the last was a 12 day trip around Puget Sound. We highly recommend them.
And it's kind of neat to go to the main lobby, locate the big brass builder's plaque and see "SALISBURY MARYLAND".

Nassawadox Hospital demolition expected to be completed in Q1 of 2024 - Shore Daily News
The excavators showed up at the former site of the old Shore Memorial Hospital Monday. The facility, which began serving Eastern Shore residents in 1970 was vacated when the new Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital went into service four years ago. Various options have been offered to repurpose the old building but in the end it was decided to demolish it.
The first two hospitals, both of which were known as Northampton Accomack Memorial Hospital with a name change for the second facility in the 1990s were in Nassawadox. Both facilities served Eastern Shore residents for approximately 50 years.
Back in the twenties, a group of civic leaders got together and raised money to build a hospital on the Eastern Shore of Virginia which at that time had no medical facility. The first NAM hospital was built in the mid 1920s and served until 1970.
There is still a generation of Eastern Shore residents living who were born there. Ironically there are many locals who still refer to the hospital being demolished as the” New Hospital”.

OCEAN CITY, Md. – A fire that broke out at an Ocean City restaurant Thursday evening has been ruled accidental.
Firefighters with the Ocean City Fire Department responded to Hooper’s Crab House just after 7:30 p.m. for a reported appliance fire in the kitchen. Crews worked for approximately three hours to control the blaze that extended into the walls.
We’re told the restaurant was at full capacity at the time, and an orderly evacuation was conducted by restaurant staff. No injuries were reported.
The Worcester County Fire Marshals Office says the fire was accidental in nature and began in an area near the cooking appliance that was involved.
The restaurant is expected to remain closed for several days as repairs are made.
Pocomoke Public Eye Footnote:
Hooper's Crab House was destroyed in a January, 2002 fire and rebuilt at the same location.
