Tidewater Times Celebrates 6 Decades! by Dick Cooper
For most of its 60 years, the Tidewater Times, this little magazine you are holding in your hands right now, looked pretty much the same every month. The cover reflected an almost timeless quality of life on the Eastern Shore. Geese flew, flowers grew, boats sailed and landmarks showed off their local charm, all in finely detailed black and white. Then BAM!, the May 2011 cover almost jumped off the page.
Talbot County House & Garden Pilgrimage
“A Step Back in Time” is the theme for the Talbot County House and Garden Tour, slated for Saturday, May 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. Featuring an outstanding variety of historic properties, waterfront homes and glorious gardens, each site along the tour route from Easton to Trappe will make visitors feel as if they have stepped back in time. The tour is sponsored by the Talbot County Garden Club and is part of the 75th Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage.
Life Lessons by Helen Chappell
Well, Gentle Reader, it’s finally come to this. I’m staring at my Medicare card. I should have seen this coming fifteen years ago when I started getting the AARP magazine, but I didn’t think fifteen years would pass so quickly.
My college friends and I Facebook each other wondering how we got this old – those of us who survived the ’60s, anyway..
A Hole in the Bay by Gary Crawford
Say, did you hear the news? Something from outer space slammed into Cape Charles, Virginia! Of course, if you’re new to the area you might have missed hearing about it. After all, it was a while back – 35 million years ago or so, give or take a few hundred thousand. While that may sound like old news, it’s actually pretty recent in geologic terms – about halfway back to the extinction of the dinosaurs, if that helps you place it.
Tidewater Times was established in 1952 as a specialized monthly magazine which would appeal to the tourist, the prospective land buyer, and others for whom the Eastern Shore has a special allure. It was created to be small enough to fit into a woman's purse or a man's coat pocket. Today it has blossomed as a vital symbol of our thriving community.
