(Feb. 22, 2013) For the first time, the Susan G. Komen Foundation in 2012 brought its Race for the Cure to Ocean City. The inaugural event, which included a 5k timed competitive run, a 5k recreational run/walk and 1-mile fun walk on the resort’s Boardwalk, drew 3,662 registered participants.
Unfortunately, unfavorable weather conditions on April 22 kept many participants at bay, but the Komen Maryland Ocean City Race for the Cure still raised a whopping $349,150 by way of registration fees, donations and cash sponsorships.

Reconfiguring Ocean City’s system of rotating surfing beaches could be like trying to shuffle cars on a train while it’s still moving. It’s going to be tricky.
Nevertheless, reexamining the long-established surfing beach policy and trying to make it more convenient for surfers and everyone else is what the City Council on Monday pledged to do with a committee to be assembled by the mayor.

“I’m taking a picture to show everybody back home,” said Charles Perkins of Glen Burnie, after he used his camera’s timer to take a photo of himself standing on the new beach Monday morning. “It’s the first time…

Hurricane Sandy approaches the East Coast and European computer models predict that it will hit just south of Ocean City, MD. The northern side of the storm tends to develop more flooding and the winds will push water out of the bays and tributaries on the southern side of the storm. The storm won’t hit until Monday, but in the European model, the winds will create flooding to the north of the storm beginning on Sunday. The American model has it moving more slowly and hitting farther north but hanging over the tri-state area around NY and New England through Thursday. As we hear more,…
