Covid-19 KO's this year's Fair in Pocomoke.

Starting a new week with a 2013 JMMB Posting

We recently recalled the passing of The Pocomoke Public Eye's Brenda Wise (posting as "jmmb") on June 11, 2014. I came across the item below that Brenda posted here some eight months earlier (perhaps on her mind was the serious health situation she was confronting). I'm certain if Brenda was with us today, especially in these challenging times, she would still be sharing thoughts of encouragement with us all. -tk

Shortly after Transmedia opened on Willow Street in the late 60s Choppy Layton and Wayne Powell were outside one day hanging two large spotlights to illuminate the façade of the building. The police station was located across the street at the time, just behind the Maryland National Bank building. Orville Outten, the legendary assistant chief, emerged to inspect the proceedings.

"Boys," said Orville, "Don't you think those things are going to be too loud? They're awful big."

"What do you mean?" replied Wayne.

"I don't think we need big, loud speakers blaring all that crazy music around here. You know, Pocomoke is kind of a quiet community." answered Orville.

Wayne could hardly control himself. "Orville, they are lights, not speakers. They are for safety."

"Well, whatever," replied Orville. "Just be sure you keep'em turned down or I will be over here lookin' to lock somebody up."

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011.  I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
