📰 News we're reading

• Tog In The Rain (fishinoc.com) — Ocean City is still drying out after a Nor'easter flooded parts of town and battered nearby coastal communities, but anglers are already seeing a silver lining. As the storm moves offshore, water temperatures have dropped into the mid‑60s and tautog fishing at the OC Inlet has picked up, with charter crews putting keepers in the box despite the rain.
   

• Carly Angela Erdmann and Ross Thomas Mascara (thetimes-tribune.com) — An engaged teaching couple from Salisbury is planning their fall wedding right here in Ocean City, bringing family and friends to the shore to celebrate. Both work in special education and coaching, and met while teaching in Howard County before settling on the beach town as the backdrop for their big day.
   

• US 50 AT 100: The Highway that still lets you see America (wvnews.com) — Ocean City sits at the Atlantic gateway of US Route 50, the 3,000‑mile highway turning 100 this November that still lets travelers drive coast‑to‑coast on one numbered road. The story traces US 50's evolution from Ocean City across Maryland, the Appalachians, Great Plains, Rockies, and deserts, arguing it remains a living, small‑town‑connected alternative to the Interstates.
