TIME MACHINE Preview ... When The Pocomoke Fire Siren Sounded For A Really Unusual Reason, Description Of Area Towns In 1800, 1950's Music Concerns!

After bowing out last weekend for Hurricane Irene the TIME MACHINE returns this Sunday.

Once long ago authorities sounded the Pocomoke City fire siren loud and long but you'll never guess why, and it accomplished its most unusual purpose!

A look at some local towns as they existed in 1800... and from ACROSS THE USA criticism abounds about the music teenagers are listening to in the 1950's!

It's this Sunday on The Pocomoke Public Eye!
