What would Reagan think of today's political and media landscape...the conservative right with its keyhole view of the broad horizon and the liberal left with its well intentioned leanings that seem to steer us toward convoluted solutions. There's Fox News referring to "the protesters or looters, whatever you call them," while those who state "all lives matter" are excoriated by the left. And so the world turns..spinning and spinning and spinning.


1958 ..  Making "space" for a new government agency.
    
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.
