Thought I'd show a tour of the three main cities of Maryland's Eastern Shore (the area on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay from my home). I didn't include Ocean City, there's been other threads about OC, and I was running out of time on my short day trip. It was a sunday, so there may be some empty streets and unopened stores. I went way back in september, but was too darn lazy to post 'em any sooner. And don't look for quality, just some pics to give y'all an idea. All three developed as agricultural centers. Here's the first one - Cambridge.
Cambridge - pop~11,000 founded 1684, incorp. 1793. County seat for Dorchester county. Fairly high crime rate, has a rough edge to some parts.
