Captain’s Hill  was being advertised as the “gracious new waterfront community” west on Route 50. Now here in the ad was the term “West Ocean City” used.

23 West in the Westward Ho Motel was inviting guests … “Welcome to Ocean City’s 1962 Dining Attraction.”

Bill Gibbs’ famous Hide-A-Way Cocktail Lounge was located in the Stowaway Motel on 22^nd Street and appearing nightly was Connie Gibbs and her All Stars.

An editorial read, “The obvious attempts of insurance companies to avoid their just obligations following the March 6-7 storm here has turned the stomachs of practically everyone connected with this Maryland resort.
