Ocean City, Vol. 2 (Images Of America: Maryland) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Ocean City, Maryland’s own seaside resort, has become so popular that it is almost too small―five square miles―to hold all its tourists. The last few decades have brought tremendous growth to the area in the form of both population and development. Bridges and tunnels have been built, high-rise hotels and condominiums have grown up, and amusements of all kinds have become available to the summertime crowds. In this second volume of Ocean City, images of beach life from the late 1940s to the present day capture the spirit of this popular vacation spot. From funnel cakes to Ferris wheels and deep-sea fishing to seasonal festivals, Ocean City, now a year-round retreat, has offered millions of visitors an endless variety of entertainment. Having survived destruction caused by storms, problems associated with the real estate boom, and the overwhelming surge of visitors who each summer crowd the boardwalk and Coastal Highway, this “small” town has matured over the last few decades into the jewel of Maryland’s shore.

I loved the photos, especially the old ones, and the write-ups underneath them. What a fun book with great photos and informative history.
This pictorial history by the authors Hayes and Jacob is very well done, and most enjoyable. I reveled in the photos and the brief chapter introductions that tell a lot about the category being discussed.
I'm not old enough to remember everything written in Ocean City Volume I, but I do remember a lot of what is in this volume because it starts the historical period from the mid-1950s. I went to OC with my family when I was a kid and would go back in a heartbeat. Nicely done book: good writing, unique photos.
My son-in-law grew up going to Ocean City in his childhood. I gave his this book for a Christmas gift and he loved it. It is full of facts, information and many great pictures. Great book!
It is really neat to see how it was before I lived there. Great pictures and history,I would recommend this to anyone interested in the past.
