[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was recently in Cumberland, MD. It was my first time. I was so shocked by the poverty juxtaposed to the beauty. To the despair as compared to the potential for that town. The bones are there. It’s in a beautiful setting. Can it be revived? I could see people moving in and buying cheap houses and setting up cafes and breweries and small shops. Not sure that will help the locals but I’d love to see this happen to that town that has good bones. [/quote] I’m the PP that lived in frostburg. There is this persistent hope that this will happen - people would talk about this potential a lot - but it never materialized. The infrastructure just isn’t there: there’s not even a Target for chrissakes. There is an awful, awful dearth of professional roles, and even professors at the university are underpaid relative to professors nationally. It’s just depressed in every way imaginable. [/quote]
