HERE WE GROW AGAIN: WILLIAMS LAND MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC TO ACQUIRE COUNTY-OWNED PROPERTY ALONG U.S. ROUTE 219 IN OAKLAND
Williams Land Management Company, LLC of Moorefield, West Virginia recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Sales Agreement with the Garrett County Commissioners to purchase the remaining 3.62-acres of the former County Roads Garage property located along U.S. Route 219 in Oakland, adjacent to Dairy Queen and Clear Mountain Bank. The company’s principals, Sam and Kelly Williams, plan to construct a 40-room hotel and family restaurant on the site.
“We are very excited about this opportunity,” said Sam Williams. “We’ve operated several successful businesses for years in Moorefield and Romney, West Virginia. Expanding into Maryland was the next logical step.”
In addition to the planned expansion into Oakland, the Williams own and operate the South Branch Inn in Romney and the South Branch Inn and South Branch Cinema 6 in Moorefield.

America’s Panhandles, Ranked From 1 to 10
The USA has 10 panhandles, from Florida to Alaska. Robert Reid rates them all in terms of travel appeal—with a little trivia thrown in.
By Robert Reid
It’s easy enough spotting a panhandle on a pan: Just look at the part you use to lift it off the stove. Identifying a panhandle on a state can be trickier.
The USA, apparently, has 10 of them, all variously sized, usually awkward add-ons that tug away from a state’s main mass. But what makes for a “panhandle,” exactly?
Mark Stein’s excellent How the States Got Their Shapes explains a lot, but not why Nebraska’s chubby western end is considered a panhandle, while Utah’s similarly shaped northward-thrusting stub doesn’t rate.

Sang Run Shootout – Youghiogheny River – White-water Rafting
This is a really neat video that I found on Facebook about the history of white-water sports (rafting, kayaking, canoeing) in Garrett County & specifically at Sang Run. The state of Maryland designated the Youghiogheny River a ‘wild’ & ‘scenic’ corridor and unhappy landowners and real estate owners took their frustrations out on the boaters…by shooting at them! Great history piece.
