1950's .. Twin Towers- a favorite gathering spot in Pocomoke City.
1979 .. Ears are tuned in to the first Sony Walkman.
The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011. 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. Just email it.
Twin Towers was the first restaurant in the area to offer Chinese food. The decorative towers on each end of the building were actually hollow and held additional tables for dining.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the towers. I didn't know that. During the same era was there anywhere in Pocomoke to get pizza? As I recall you had to go to Salisbury where a few places had it.

ReplyDeleteDon't know about pizza but L.J. McGee had a soft serve ice cream place where the former building of Don's Seafood was. I think it opened about 1960 and it was the first place to serve something called a banana split. The original name was Dairy Queen, or maybe Tastee Freeze or something like that. It was very successful and L. J. expanded and renamed the restaurant Pony Ranch because he was a fancier of the ponies that ran at Ocean Downs.
You could drive up to The Pony Ranch and place your order from your car by speaker phone and someone would bring it out to you.
