Elkton – July 22, 2011 — It was a scorcher in downtown Elkton this afternoon. As temperatures all across the region hit triple digits, the Cecil Bank digital thermometer alternated between 101 and 102-degrees in the mid-afternoon Friday. The oppressive heat and high humidity made it feel like 120-degrees according to Baltimore television stations. And weather forecasters weren’t promising much relief in Cecil County this weekend.
Purpose
Originally concentrating on saving some Public Open Space Elkton proposed selling to a developer, we expanded the blog's focus once the Mayor and Commissioners abandoned the attempt. During the nearly year-long process, Someone Noticed found that many important subjects at town meetings weren’t being covered by the media and we also established a regular readership. In consideration of all these elements, we are now focusing more broadly on the “411 on the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Elkton” and subjects of broad civic interest to the Greater Elkton Community, especially when it isn't covered by other media.
