I loved your article about Ocean City. While I am sure that you have many subjects that you want to do I would suggest a popular and fascinating subject is the building of the Baltimore Beltway. I once did some research for a patron of MdHS and found that the library has lots of information on that subject. Many people in Baltimore remember the pre-beltway days and the improvements made by this popular event in the history of our city.

Thanks for the additional info David! In a couple weeks we are going to post some original footage of the inlet tearing across the island. Stay tuned

Great post! It’s also interesting to note that the storm also ended a growing real estate development on Assateauge Island just south of Ocean City. The storm surge scoured the north end of the island nearly clean and only traces of the asphalt paved streets remain today. In effect, the storm and the Ocean City inlet are responsible for preserving what is now a State park and National Seashore at Assateauge!
