Today, 9/19/23, The Pocomoke Public Eye published its' 13,000th posting.
Our history on the web began in 2009 with founder Tom Ayres (screen name: The Public Eye) assisted by the very capable and enthusiastic Brenda Wise (screen name: jmmb). I joined in 2011 as a contributor. Tom and Brenda have since passed.
Our banner reads: "Family friendly and striving to be a worthy choice for your Internet browsing." With that theme in mind can you or someone you know of share material with us on an occasional or regular basis? It might be regarding a hobby or interest, local news or events, a recollection, an opinion, a wide range of subject matter- brief or lengthy.
I'm looking forward to continuing my involvement with The Pocomoke Public Eye for many years to come but I'd love for there to be some folks on hand available to keep it going in the longer term.

Never knew Tom Ayres but have great memories of Brenda and Debbie from high school. I think I might have dated Brenda at one time but that would have been 56 years ago.
Regarding no buyer yet for the Snow Hill riverboat The Black Eyed Susan:
Anonymous said...No reasonable person would pay money for this vessel knowing its current condition. When all is said and done the Town of Snow Hill will be forced to pay someone to remove it.

(Opinion: For some of us who remember the times prior to the mid-1960's the following August 23,1949 article from the Baltimore Afro American seems to present a view really too accepting of the environment in which most African American residents of Pocomoke City lived at that time. - The Pocomoke Public Eye)

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.
