Keep in mind that Don Moore's Maryland State speed record in the fancy Duesenberg equals all of 54 miles per hour...a truly frightening speed in 1923!

Anyone remember stock car racing at the Pocomoke Fairgrounds track in the late 1940's/early 1950's era?

The Y-Restaurant later became well known as the Starlight under different owners.

Was the Y Restaurant what eventually became the Starlight and then the Pour House?

Pony Ranch started out as a Dairy Queen and later morphed into a real restaurant. The first banana splits in Pocomoke were served at Pony Ranch.

In the 1950's/1960's where else in Pocomoke could you get pizza?  Anyone remember chocolate zips (sort of chocolate milk mixed with small ice chips)?  They were available at most places around town that had soda fountains.

1978  ..  At the movies..
  

  

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.
