102.5 Shore Things
Getting to know the Eastern Shore

#56. The Red Roost

I was told I must go here to understand the DelMarVa way of life. Red Roost has been recognized as one of the best places for a crab feast on the Eastern Shore by something called a "newspaper" out of Baltimore. The Red Roost was originally a chicken farm, then a campground/RV park, but the oil embargo of the 70s turned it into a restaurant.
Seriously - check out their history page.
Right now they have an "All You Can Eat Blue Crab Feast" for $27.99 and according to my man Jay Prouse, now is the time to get crabs. They also have a secret formula for fried chicken that pairs well with seafood.

Have something to add to the list? I'd love for you to email me your ideas: jmillwood@wolc.org

ARTIST OF THE DAY:
Casting Crowns



Casting Crowns By the Stats:

• 4.5 million career album sales

• a GRAMMY Award

• an American Music Award

• 23 Dove Awards

• 8 chart-topping radio singles

You would think that would give them a big head, but nope!

Lead singer Mark Hall says, “Our main purpose, above all else, is to know Him more.” The members of Casting Crowns each serve in student ministry in their local churches around the metro Atlanta area.

After all the accolades, all the awards, all the time on the road and in the studio, why does Casting Crowns continue to do what they do? The answer is simple: It’s their calling – God’s calling on the lives of these seven committed and talented musicians. To pour their lives into the students and families God has placed in their paths. To set discipleship to music. To challenge and strengthen the body of Christ. It’s what brought them together in the first place and what keeps them going … Until The Whole World Hears.
