April 1988 Carroll Co MD Chamber of Commerce guide to dining, lodging and entertainment


In the 1988 guide, the Carroll County Chamber reported:

“Nestled  between  the   mountains   of Western Maryland  and the hustle-bustle of the  metropolitan, Carroll  County  offers  a combination of  advantages seldom  found in other  regions of the country. Here  in beautiful  Carroll   County,  our   quality   of life  reflects our  proud  background; our tradition  of  craftsmanship  and   industry; our  outstanding  workforce; excellent education facilities; our  splendid natural resources; and   our   positive   business  attitude.

“We feel  that  as a place  to live, shop,  work and  raise  a  family,  the  quality of  life  in Carroll   County   is  difficult   to  equal.   We have all the conveniences of a larger metropolitan area and yet are able to maintain our small town atmosphere of friendliness and service.

“As part  of that  service,  the Carroll  County Chamber of Commerce takes  pride  in  being  more  than  an  information center. We are  an  agency  whose  purpose is  to  move our  area  forward  in its  economic growth. We are committed to progress. Our local governments are responsive   to the needs of the business and industrial community. Our citizens maintain a strong work ethic. Our  resources  are   intelligently  managed and,  as  our  history  shows,  we all  have  a heritage that  embraces  progress and development.

“But,  above  all,  we strive  to preserve  the   'small   town'   spirit  of friendliness  and   cooperation  that   always has  been  a part  of our  lifestyle.

“We cordially invite you to explore that lifestyle and the other opportunities awaiting you in Carroll County. Then, join us and become   a partner in our future. Your inquiries will be welcomed.”

“Long before anyone had heard of the Internet, early home computer users could read their morning newspapers online ... sort of. Steve Newman's 1981 story was broadcast on KRON San Francisco.”
