Behind the Scenes at the Ocean City House of Rock
Posted by Shorebread | Monday, March 30, 2015
When we heard rumors of a new (refurbished is the more accurate word) music venue in West Ocean City, we were quick to start investigating exactly what was happening at the ‘OC House of Rock.’ The rumor mill proved correct this time around, and we were thrilled to find that Trader Lee’s has transformed their music venue with a well-purposed face lift and a major push to create a … READ MORE...READ POST.
Full Moon Saloon Opens, Bringing Eastern Shore Flavor and a Family Atmosphere to West Ocean City
Posted by Shorebread | Monday, March 30, 2015
The West Ocean City restaurant and bar scene seems to be ever-expanding, with several new additions already popping up in 2015. What we really love is that each new business seems to be offering something different. We stopped in the Full Moon Saloon recently (formerly Station 7 on 707 in WOC) to have a peak at the menu and to chat with the owners about what to expect from … READ MORE...READ POST.
Easter Brunch and Dinner Specials in Ocean City, MD
Posted by Shorebread | Friday, March 27, 2015
It’s hard to imagine hunting for Easter eggs and sitting down to a delicious Easter Day feast as we write this post since the current temperatures outside are lending heavily towards winter rather than spring, but nonetheless, it is in fact spring and Easter is next weekend! We’ve already compiled a list of Easter Egg Hunts and Spring Celebrations across Delmarva, but let’s switch gears and focus on Easter … READ MORE...READ POST.
ShoreBilly’s Swill: Growing Up My Way
Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, March 26, 2015
I recently celebrated my 45th birthday. Well, maybe celebrate is the wrong choice of word. I’ve never really been a big proponent or advocate of birthdays. Even when I was younger, I never really celebrated my own birthday with the vigor and enthusiasm that most do. I always thought of it more as my Mother’s day anyway. After all, she did all the work. All I did was show … READ MORE...READ POST.

Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, March 26, 2015

Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, March 26, 2015

Backstage with Haleytown: Ocean City’s Only Country Band Opens Up
Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, March 26, 2015
As a resort town, Ocean City certainly isn’t short on live music. On any given night there is an eclectic mix of tunes floating out of the local watering holes, from bluegrass to punk to rock to reggae. Yet despite our musical musings here on the Shore, and despite the predominance of country music lovers, Ocean City has been notably devoid of a solid, country music band. That is … READ MORE...READ POST.

Happy Maryland Day!

ICYMI, it’s Maryland Day! Held each year on March 25, Maryland Day commemorates March 25, 1634 when settlers stepped onto Maryland soil from two small sailing ships.

West OC Italian Restaurant & Bar, Sello’s, to Open Next Month
Posted by Shorebread | Tuesday, March 24, 2015
We were pretty excited last week when we ventured out on an unseasonably cold and rainy Friday to take a sneak peak at what was formerly Avery Gallery in West Ocean City. Walking into a work in progress, we quickly found that it was hard to even remember the look of the space that was formerly an explosion of purple; instead, we were met with the final stages of … READ MORE...READ POST.
Easter Egg Hunts and Spring Celebrations Across Delmarva
Posted by Shorebread | Friday, March 20, 2015
It feels a little odd to be celebrating Easter so early this year, but perhaps all of the spring and Easter celebrations that are scheduled across Delmarva will incite Mother Nature to turn up the heat and bring out the sunshine. After all, no one likes a cold and rainy Easter egg hunt! Salisbury, Lewes, Rehoboth, Bethany, Ocean City, Berlin, Pocomoke, Snow Hill…they’re all welcoming spring with a fantastic … READ MORE...READ POST.
ShoreBilly’s Swill: Not Bothering Me. Any More.
Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, March 19, 2015
I can comfortably say that I got through St. Pat’s weekend with no casualties and with as little hatred as possible. Don’t get me wrong, there were multiple idiots that I genuinely wanted to choke out, but by the standards of that particular day it was relatively painless. I’ve made no secret of my disdain for the holiday, but I’m not going to let it bother me any more. … READ MORE...READ POST.

In case you haven’t noticed, we have found ourselves gravitating towards Downtown Salisbury more and more lately. It’s no secret that the revitalization of Downtown Salisbury has been a slow, slightly arduous process, but nonetheless, progress is certainly happening! It seems like every time we turn around there is a new addition to the downtown scene…case in point, Headquarters Live. We sat down with owner Joey Gilkerson this week, … READ MORE...READ POST.
Forget St. Practice Day, It’s Time for St. Patrick’s Day on Delmarva!
Posted by Shorebread | Monday, March 16, 2015
As disappointing as it was to have the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in OCMD canceled, we didn’t let the rain stop us Saturday. We pushed on, stopping in local businesses to join in the fun. Many people consider the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day to be St. Practice Day, with the real fun reserved for the actual holiday. This year, St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Tuesday, which … READ MORE...READ POST.
What’s Happening in Downtown Salisbury and Historic Downtown Berlin?
Posted by Shorebread | Monday, March 16, 2015

Annual Eagle Festival Returns to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Saturday…Rain or Shine!
Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, March 12, 2015
We admittedly don’t pay homage enough to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Being located just a stone’s throw from Assateague Island National Seashore, we tend to head to Assateague more often than Blackwater, but the upcoming Eagle Festival at the NWR has us planning a trip for the near future. With spring on the way, we can’t think of a better excuse to get outdoors and enjoy our natural … READ MORE...READ POST.

Best Of: Where to Go After the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in OCMD
Posted by Shorebread | Tuesday, March 10, 2015
Ocean City is gearing up for one of the most festive events of the year, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade! We’ve heard it referred to as “the locals New Year’s” and in our opinion, that couldn’t be more fitting. Locals find themselves hibernating or traveling during the winter months in OCMD, particularly during winters that were as abysmal as this one was. Spring is a BIG deal for those … READ MORE...READ POST.
Bethany Beach Books Introduces New Book Subscription Program

At ShoreBread, we are book lovers through and through. The only thing we love more than discovering a great new read is discovering a great new read while shopping at a local, independent book store. Sure Barnes and Noble and Amazon have their perks, but there is nothing quite as wonderful as shopping locally for books, talking to the informative staff, or having a neighborhood book store to frequent. … READ MORE...READ POST.

Top Ten Things We’re Looking Forward to on Delmarva this Spring
Posted by Shorebread | Thursday, March 05, 2015
It’s hard to believe that spring is just around the corner. As we write this post, the temperatures outside are plummeting back into the teens and snow is slowly creeping across Delmarva. Then again, anyone who lives on the Eastern Shore knows that our winter and springtime weather is erratic at best. Warm one day, snowing the next. Such is the Delmarvalous life.
