A Pocomoke landmark building, originally the U.S. 13 Restaurant, was heavily damaged by fire in August, 1997. At that time it was known as The Eastern Shoreman Restaurant & Crab House Lounge. The newspaper picture below shows the interior of the restaurant in the early 1950's. Photo courtesy Frances Twyford.

I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine.
