The water isn't rising.

♪♪Singing The News♪♪

                            

 Just saying-

Have you ever noticed the sing-song delivery in the news presentations of anchors Heidi Kristine of WMDT and David Scott of WBOC, i.e. frequent upward inflections of words especially at the end of sentences?  Contrast this to the conversational delivery of WBOC's veteran anchor Steve Hammond and the pros on networks and in larger TV markets.

Well, I never felt more like singin' the news

'Cause I never thought I'd ever lose

Your viewin' just for singin' the news.

Time←←Machine: 100 years ago this week iin Pocomoke City's newspaper; 1938.

 

(According to AI, Tangier Beach was a segregated beach on Tangier Sound at Dames Quarter and closed in the 1920's. The derelict 16-acre property was sold to Dames Quarter native Loraine Henry and her husband George for $2,500 in 1951. They reopened the area as Henry's Beach in 1952, one of the first integrated beaches on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  The site, in an area of severe coastal erosion, was sold in 1991 and is currently private property.)

  

(Wonder how 40-cents a ticket could finance a show like this?)

(The Peninsula Building was located at the northeast corner of Market and Front Streets, across from what is now the Delmarva Discovery Museum.)
