I received a piece of clarification on one of the photos used with yesterday's retrospective of the Ash Wednesday Storm that I found interesting.
As one reader remembers it, the "motel" shown above was perhaps a forebear of the condominium towers that arose from the beaches of Ocean City in the 1970s. As the article pointed out, the storm helped clear the way (literally) for towering development over the following decades.
