LONG AGO BUT NOT FAR AWAY- THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF OUR SOUTHERN PENINSULA 

From a 1951 feature article in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.  The author, Leonora W. Wood, (1892-1989) wrote articles of regional historic interest for Virginia newspapers and authored "Guide To Virginia's Eastern Shore" in 1952.  She was an inspiration for the novel "Christy" written by her daughter Catherine Marshall, a well-known author.  Mrs. Wood's husband was a minister who had served Holmes Presbyterian Church in Cheriton.

Fire at Hooper's in OC

 (WMDT)

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.
