Eastern Shore (Virginia) Editorial
Perhaps you may have observed that when most Eastern Shore of Virginians refer to "The Eastern Shore" they're not referring to the Delmarva peninsula but specifically to the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
With that in mind- in this week's Eastern Shore Post, (Virginia) the editor gives his take on "Updating the Eastern Shore Racial Relations Scorecard."

Pocomoke Property beautification award winner!
Before
After
New Chamber Program, Merit Award
The Pocomoke Area Chamber of Commerce recently instituted the Merit Award program in which owners of improved properties, both residences and commercial, would be recognized publicly for their outstanding efforts. Improvements can include exterior renovations, rehabilitation, general clean up, landscaping, or really any activity that improves the property and the neighborhood.
Nominations are accepted at the Chamber Office at any time and we are currently working on a digital form with link to make this process a bit easier. For now, nominations can be sent to pocomokechamber@gmail.com at any time. Before and after photographs are appreciated.
Our first winning nomination of this award goes to Israel Buenrostro Alvarez and Jose Erick Chavez with the property address of 424 Bank Street, Pocomoke City, MD. This property's before and after shots are pictured here.
This house was considered a long term abandoned dwelling and was purchased by the owners in 2022. Renovations included a complete gutting of the interior with substantial framing.
A Merit Award sign will be placed on the property for a period of time to recognize the transformation and the owners for their extensive efforts. Congratulations to Israel Alvarez and Jose Erick Chavez!
We think that you will agree, we all benefit from the improvement of properties in our town.
$75,000 bid chosen; Blackeyed Susan may be a future Snow Hill attraction.
