The Eastern Shore is where the ocean and the bay hang out, and the air smells like saltwater and your aunt’s old perfume.

My friend said the bay was just a pond. I said 'you're from the city, aren’t you?'

I told my mom I wanted to live on the Eastern Shore. She said 'you'll be happy there, but you'll never come back.'

My cousin moved to the Eastern Shore and now says the ocean is 'just a big lake with a mood.'
