FEATURED ARTICLES
Elvisania by Helen Chappell
Several years ago I wrote a mystery in which someone was killing Elvis Presley impersonators. I thought I was being very clever at the time, even though Bill Horne, who was still sitting on the bench, rumbled, “If I had a defendant who killed Elvis impersonators in front of me, I’d direct an acquittal.” So not everyone loves Elvis, which I can understand.
Concours d'Elegance Rolls into CBMM by Dick Cooper
In the time when most cars are designed in wind tunnels and one make looks much like the next, the St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance is a reminder of the age when a motorcar was as much a statement of style and grace as it was transportation.
On September 26, the cars of the Concours d’Elegance, with their sweeping fenders, chrome-plated grills and inlaid interiors will display the artisanship that was once a standard in the gilded age of the automobile.
Exploring Peru by Bonna Nelson
Why Machu Picchu? Studying the Mayans during trips to Mexico and Belize led to my fascination with the ancient native cultures of the Americas. Archeologists think that hunters and gatherers migrated to North America around 20,000 years ago over a land mass at the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska and populated the North, Central and South Americas.
Park Güell by George W. Sellers
It is only April – not June – as I complete the trek up this long grade from the bus lot to reach the entrance of Park Güell. Through the sweat I am still wondering why I chose a ‘parks tour’ from the ship’s collection of shore excursions in Barcelona. Then I get my first glimpse of fantasy-like architecture; trees, vines and bushes blended with walkways, bridges and railings.
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.
