Ocean City made the news over the weekend when Dough Roller on the boardwalk caught flames. No one was hurt and the damage wasn’t THAT bad, but what I find funny is that the every newspaper/online article I could find about the incident quoted people I know, including my own cousin:

The fire, reported about noon yesterday, resulted in no major injuries, said Jessica King, a spokeswoman for the Ocean City Police Department. A firefighter was treated for a minor eye injury, she said.

The other people always quoted were Big Rick (Rick Meehan the current mayor and father of my old roomate), Mathias (the former mayor and current county delegate), and Steve Price the OCPD PR guy. Makes me a tad homesick plus for a split second I actually miss my newspaper reporter days.
