I turn to you, our wonderful audience, in hopes of getting an answer to this question... Why was there a guy in a prison costume at the corner of 9th & Bay in Ocean City on the evening of the 4th of July? And I'm assuming it was a 'costume' and not a 'uniform.' I drove into Ocean City on the evening of the 4th of July and right as you entered town at the light at 9th & Bay was a guy standing on the corner in a traditional black-and-white prison costume (the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce people must have loved that visual).
