Why do they call it Shrove Tuesday when it's really Mardi Gras? Why eat pancakes when you can eat King cake, oysters and bacon and drink rum?

For reasons unknown this station never went on the air although, according to Choppy Layton, evidence of the start of construction existed on property on Stockton Road.  WDVM radio at 540 on the AM dial, and located on Dunn Swamp Road southwest of Pocomoke, went on the air in 1955.
