7. to think what the Bay was like 40 years ago........
NOBODY could have concieved of this coming to pass, though it was in the cards. The shad were still running on the Gunpowder. River oysters were $6 a bushel and large steamed crabs were $7 a dozen at House of Neptune. The harbor was a wreck but otherwise nobody thought about it much.

Frogs in boiling water. We proles bear our share of blame as do those who overfished,dumped agricultural chemicals and the industrialists. The prize goes to the developers who got rich making sprawl, turning everything brown with run off.

This latest proposal is an insult. Stick a fork in it, it's done.

Maryland. My Maryland.
