There is no doubt we need to be more proactive about "asking", however, here on the Eastern Shore the good ole boy network is still alive and well. I just have always sensed that Berlin, Ocean City, Snow Hill, Pocomoke are viewed as the "locals" and Ocean Pines are the "come heres". I agree. BUT... Ocean Pines folks starting "coming here" in the spring of 1969 and a few bought property in the fall of 1968. I think 39 or 40 years is a decent amount of time for a community to be considered "permanent" don't you? If OP folks participated in local government more actively, they would be accepted more readily. Nancy |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ocean Pines is part of a county too....only we don't get anything that I can see and it is not because we are not a municipality. It is because we are not organized and don't ASK! There is no doubt we need to be more proactive about "asking", however, here on the Eastern Shore the good ole boy network is still alive and well. I just have always sensed that Berlin, Ocean City, Snow Hill, Pocomoke are viewed as the "locals" and Ocean Pines are the "come heres". |
