PPE Footnote: As of October, 2021, no development has occurred at the former Mall property. Some portions of the Mall parking lot and outdoor lighting remain and are in deteriorating condition. The county acquired a portion of the parking lot across from The Wicomico Youth And Civic Center and constructed additional parking space to accommodate Civic Center needs. Anyone recall a food court as mentioned in the article? Eating establishments at the old mall over the years included English's Cafeteria (at the west main entrance), a restaurant in the Reeds Drug Store, Friendly's, and Leon's Deli. Orange Julius and a pretzel stand were located in the front north-south corridor.

October starts with Fire Prevention Week but it's a lesson that carries throughout the month and all year long.

Maryland- North or South?
Is Maryland more of a Northern or Southern state?
It depends on who in Maryland you ask. But it might not matter so much where specifically they live.
From the rolling farmland of the marshy Eastern Shore to the edge of Appalachia, the Goucher Poll results released this week are similar. Between 60% and 70% of respondents surveyed in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, in the Baltimore metro area, and in the more rural reaches of Eastern, Western and Southern Maryland felt Maryland belonged to the North.

POCOMOKE PREPARES FOR ANNUAL PARADE
POCOMOKE CITY CHRISTMAS PARADE ASSOCIATION COMOKE CITY CHRISTMAS PARADE ASSOCIATION
On Monday night, November 29, 2021, Pocomoke City will be transformed into a “Winter Wonderland” as the town plays host to one of Delmarva’s largest nighttime Christmas parades.
Always held on the first Monday night after Thanksgiving, the Pocomoke parade has become an Eastern Shore tradition and will attract over 100 units from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia along with thousands of spectators.
If you are interested in participating this year’s event, please go to pocomokechristmasparade.com to register. Applications are now being accepted for the 2021 parade. You will find the applications and rules for this year’s event. If you have any questions, you can contact Mike Shannon at 410-726-5777 and leave a message with your name, address and telephone number and type of entry.
Each year the parade features marching bands representing high and middle schools from seven counties in three states. Also featured will be beautifully decorated and lighted floats entered by schools, civic organizations, churches, and commercial enterprises.
Marching units, fire departments, equestrian units, and of course Santa Claus will round out the two-hour event, slated to kick-off at 7:00 p.m. sharp. The route will take the parade north on Market Street beginning at 14th Street and ending at the Pocomoke River Bridge. The judge’s stand is located in downtown Pocomoke City just in front of the Mini park.
Professional judges, including members of the National Judges Association (NJA), will score entries in many different categories. Awards will be awarded immediately following the event to the top entries in each category.
A special thanks to the community of Pocomoke City and surrounding areas for the support given to us to continue this great tradition that has been a part of the town for the past 49 years.
In the event of inclement weather, the parade will be postponed until Tuesday, November 30, at 7:00 p.m.
