Historic Sites of Ocean City, Maryland
Is it summer in Maryland if you didn’t head downy ocean, hon?. The land on which Ocean City was established was acquired by Englishman Thomas Fenwick as a land grant from Lord Baltimore; the land was previously used for centuries by Algonquian tribes in the area. Small structures were built on the barrier island beach as early as 1839, but at that time the town was only accessible by stage coach and ferry. It was a popular spot for summer excursions for the local residents of mainland Worcester County and in 1867 the city was officially patented as the “Lady’s Resort to the Ocean.”

Oops… one more thing about lunching in Lewes
My big plan for this week’s column was to crow (as humbly as possible, of course) that you are reading my 700th publication here in Cape Gazette. Thirteen-and-a-half years ago, I vowed to strive for perfection in print, but alas, it was not to be. The most recent example is last week’s column. It was one of my regular roundups featuring selected places in Lewes that dish up a good lunch. I managed to write about 26 places (count ‘em! 26!), but if it ain’t one darn thing it’s another: My apologies go out to Pig & Publican owners Doug and Lisa Frampton; I mistakenly neglected their cozy restaurant in the Beacon Motel on Savannah Road, and, yes indeedy, they do serve lunch. Mea culpa.
