For some restaurants in the area, the ability to sell carryout liquor drinks with their food orders, or by themselves in some cases, has been a huge financial help. It was especially helpful last spring when carryout-only was enforced for a couple months.Known as an ally of the liquor industry in general, Maryland Comptroller Peter… Read more »

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – August 21, 2020

City Manager Doug Miller estimated last week the compliance rate of people wearing masks on the Boardwalk to be about 70%. It’s a difficult estimation to make because it’s truly a day-to-day matter and depends on the time of day. After about a dozen visits to the Boardwalk since the mandate was ordered, I would… Read more »

Thoughts From The Publisher’s Desk – July 24, 2020

A hybrid schedule of in-school and distance learning would seem to be the only option for public school systems under current guidelines.It’s impossible for local public schools to go the… Read more »

A sense of entitlement among people is nothing new, but this summer there does appear to be something different with visitors.
