Crisfield Times

Many of us often yearn for a taste of the "good old days." We seem to think that things were so much simpler back in those times. Were they? A hundred years ago this summer a sewer line improvement plan for a certain section of Pocomoke City raised the ire of the local newspaper and drew response from the mayor. The newspaper presented the issue as a front page news article; in actuality it was an editorial. The next week the newspaper printed a response from the mayor, describing it as a "supposed reply." City Hall fans, enjoy.
