We currently have a weekend place on the Potomac in Virginia's Northern Neck that we love, but the town is a little hick for us. One good coffee shop, one decent brewery with food, two other restaurants that are OK, and an awesome farmstand. That's it. We'd like to sell this place and buy one on the Eastern Shore in a couple of years as our someday retirement place. We love the St Michael's area, but of course it's pretty pricey, and we want waterfront. We're wondering what other areas we might target that might have similar appeal? Oxford seems like it has potential. Chestertown? What other areas should I have on my radar??

Seeking your best family-friendly spots between Annapolis and Cambridge., just for a weekend trip to explore.

We are from DC area - planning on relocating to the Eastern Shore, MD in the next two years.

We LOVE the water. Very outdoorsy, like history and cute walkable touristy spots.

Howdy, just moved out to the eastern shore in VA and wondering if I have completely missed the crabbing/crab boil season. Ideally would be able to go out on a boat for a couple hours, crab, and then have a fat boil, but all the tours seemed to be closed. Wondering if anyone knows where I could look this late in the season.

Election Day will be a long day’s work for Election Judge Laura Evans. Her job is to help relay election results from her island home in the Chesapeake Bay to the mainland by the end of the night.

But she’s more than happy to embrace that duty, now that she and her neighbors have won back the privilege they deeply  cherish – the right to have a precinct located on their island and to cast a vote amidst the 200 people they call neighbors.

“We are very thankful to the Lord that we got everything reinstated,” said Evans. “We have a great team now and just a lot of positive energy.”

The 2020 election was clouded with discontent and complaints about voter suppression after local election officials decided to remove the island’s in-person voting station. While disgruntled residents alleged nefarious motives, the official story is different.

Somerset County’s election director, Julia Cox, said they dispensed with in-person voting on the island because of COVID. But people were still able to drop off a mail-in vote on the island or travel to the mainland for in-person voting.

Still, everyone was disappointed by the loss.

Missing is the eagle that was flying back and forth over the water.

I usually see 1-3 cop cars parked along Rt 50 near the bridge. But its most often box or large cargo trucks I’ve seen getting pulled over. Why is that?

Feel free to include the Delaware and Virginia portions as well

I've got some pretty high latencies at my address. I'm trying to get an idea for what the latencies look like for the general region. Thanks!

Is anyone trying to get rid of their livestock manure in the areas around Easton to Salisbury?

Does anyone have any information on our two candidates? Kaleemah vs Donald?

Any other leftists around who want to build a community? Tired of seeing trump flags everywhere :/

I moved to Crisfield a year ago. We've had Spectrum out several times and they say they've done all they can and the problem isn't on their end. We've got all new wiring and replaced our hardware several times. We pay for 1000Mbps and we tend to get around 20Mbps plugged directly into our modem. Occasionally it jumps up to 200 and a handful of times I've seen it close to 600 but if we're paying for 1000Mbps it should always be at minimum 500, I would think.
