Talbot Historical Society Project Rewind: Before There was Talbottown
Recognize this part of Easton, Maryland? The field and farm are definitely not there today! On the top right is Talbottown which was dedicated in 1957! The convergence of Glebe Road and North Washington Street is visible. Wonder if the road to the barn in the bottom right corner is still there? Does anyone know who owned the farm on the land that is now the very busy Marlboro Ave. part of town?? Photo from the Talbot Historical Society’s H. Robins Hollyday Collection.

The Talbot Spy Survey #26 Results – Vaccines
With all the news about vaccines for the virus, we asked Spy readers about their intentions to take the vaccine once it is available. Clearly, Spy readers are waiting for the opportunity, although some will wait for a few months.
From those of you who responded, we see that just over 40% of you will get the vaccine within the first two months after it becomes available. Interesting to note that only 2% said they would not take the vaccine.
Take The Talbot Spy Survey #26 — Vaccine Views
There is an enormous worldwide push to find a vaccine that fights COVID-19. We’re wondering how Spy readers feel about taking the vaccine. Share your views!

The Talbot Spy Survey #25 Results— Issues That Matter Most
Our weekly survey found many of you interested in a variety of issues. Biden supporters outnumbered Trump supporters among the readers who responded and for most of them, defeating President Trump was a very strong issues. Among the likely Trump voters, law and order along with the economy were the most prominent issues.
Here is a word cloud showing the words most frequently mentioned by readers. Where a hyphen appears, that is because more than one mention was made of the same issue, just worded slightly differently so we combined the numbers.
Take The Talbot Spy Survey #25 – Issues
We have just a couple of months to go before the election. Who knows what issues the candidates will focus on and debate. What we’d like to know is what issues are most important to Spy readers. Share your thoughts and we’ll report on Wednesday.
