US census of 2000 shows my home town of St. Michaels with a population of 1,193. It had a 1,470 population in 1950, 3 years after I was born.
I later moved to Easton, 10 miles away where I went to High School and it's population in the 2000 census was finally up to 11,708. The 2008 census shows the population now of 14,677 (most are either retired city folk or congressmen/senators/lawyers/lobbyists, etc from D.C. which is only 70 miles away). But when I was there the population was only around 6500 (1965). 1960 census figure was 6337 while the 1970 figure was 6809.
SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TURN BACK THEIR ODOMETERS. NOT ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY I LOOK THIS WAY. I'VE TRAVELED A LONG WAY, AND SOME OF THE ROADS WEREN'T PAVED. ~ Will Rogers
