Chestertown has found the internet

It seemed inconceivable to me when I arrived here that Chestertown, by and large, wasn’t online. Sure, some restaurants had web pages. Sometimes you could find the dry cleaner’s phone number online. Occasionally the movie times at the glamorous Chester 5 were even correct when you found them. However, there was not really any sort of push for the community to use the web’s resources to make life easier for residents.

Well, with the advent of The Chestertown Spy it seems that the offline-only predilection of the Eastern Shore might finally be giving way, just in time for the second decade of the 21st century. Congratulations, Chestertown. May you even develop comprehensive online classifieds or a Craigslist next!
