Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles [Eagle Archives]
Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles [Eagle Archives] By Kevin Dayhoff March 4, 2014 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0302-20140304,0,1024009.story
When a gift of oranges was a Christmas treat in Westminster [Eagle Archives]
Streets and history of Westminster intersect at odd angles [Eagle Archives]Many residents today may not recall the crazy-quilt "dog leg" intersection of John, Bond and Main streets, or the equally mismatched collision of Main and Liberty streets, Railroad Avenue, and the train tracks in Westminster.
Years ago, these intersections did not look anything like they do now. Today, they form a perfect "cross."
But years ago, a motorist traveling south on John Street or Railroad Avenue had to make a 90-degree right turn onto Main Street, then hang a quick left to get on either Liberty or Bond Street and get through the intersection.
It may have worked well enough in the horse and buggy days. But by the 1970s, it was nuts.
Finally, sanity ruled and the two intersections and the bridge over the railroad tracks on East Green Street were rebuilt in the mid-1970s.
Many years ago, the area that we now know as John and Carroll streets in Westminster was known as the "space between."

What will happen to your Facebook account when you die? Facebook has been giving it some thought, and it’s come up with what it hopes is a better way to deal with a sensitive issue.
When a Facebook user dies, the person’s mourners can ask Facebook to memorialize the account. Until now, if an account was memorialized its visibility was restricted to friends only.
“This meant that people could no longer see the account or any of its content unless they were Facebook friends with the person who passed away,” Facebook said in a post explaining the changes.
But starting Friday, memorialized accounts will be left as they are, so that posts are visible to whomever the user intended.

ANNA MARIA ISLAND -- TripAdvisor has named Anna Maria Island
the No. 3 island in the United States, up a spot from last year's No. 4
ranking.
The rating is based on the second annual Traveler's Choice
Island awards from the website that compiles ratings and recommendations from
travelers.
The TripAdvisor ranking is incredibly important to tourism
in Anna Maria, notes Elliott Falcione, executive director for the Bradenton
Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"TripAdvisor is really our biggest critic when it comes
to visitation," Falcione said. "For them to rank Anna Maria with its
character and Old Florida environment, it shows once again it's one of the top
places to visit in the United States."

According to a TripAdvisor.com site poll, 72 percent of U.S.
respondents plan on visiting an island in 2014. Marco Island topped the list,
with Chincoteague Island, Va., coming in second. Key West was the only other
Florida island to make the list at No. 10.
Top 10 Islands in the U.S.: 1. Marco Island, Florida 2.

Mitchell K. Alexander, McDaniel College director of Event Services
February 19, 2014
I learned today from my friend on Facebook, Mahlia Joyce
that my dear friend Mitch Alexander has passed away from a heart attack… I am
so sad and my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. Mitch was a
wonderful friend for many-many years. He was always good for a big hug, a huge
smile and a kind word.
Dr. Ethan A. Seidel wrote:
Rest in peace Mitch...
We regret to inform the McDaniel community that Mitchell K.
Alexander, director of Event Services, passed away today, Feb. 19, following a
heart attack. He earned his bachelor’s degree in History with a minor in
Education from WMC in 1980 and worked in Student Affairs as a part-time Decker
Center building manager during the evenings and weekends. While an
undergraduate here, he was named to Who’s Who Among American College Students
and the recipient of the Lynn F. Gruber Leadership Award
After teaching middle school science for a year at Saint
Francis Academy in Baltimore, Mitchell returned to the College as assistant
director of College Activities. In 1986, he completed his master’s degree in
School Administration. He left for a promotion in 1988 and served as director
of Student Activities at Post College in Waterbury, Connecticut. He returned 16
months later to WMC as student activities director.
In a 1993 edition of the student newspaper, Mitchell was
described as having, “the whole campus in his hands.” His legacy is one of
empowering student groups to organize and create successful events for the
campus community. More recently, his campus knowledge was invaluable for his
expertise and guidance for event staging and set-ups.
He is survived by his wife Mildred Artis Alexander, class of
1981, and their two children, Blake and Paige.
Information regarding funeral services will be shared when
available.
