Dorchester the Beautiful: Stunning Drone Footage of Hooper’s Island | |
The Spy’s own renegade-with-a-drone Agent 86 has been complaining of cabin fever lately, what with all the cold weather, wind, and rain. So he made a weekend visit to Hooper’s Island in search of the perfect crab cake, which also yielded spectacular aerial footage of one of the county’s ecological treasures. Lore has it that namesake Henry Hooper purchased the islands from the Yaocomico tribe for five woolen blankets in the 1660’s, making it the oldest settled area in Dorchester County. Hooper was friends with the Calverts and is considered a founding father of Maryland.
The video is approximately three minutes in length.

CWDI looks to 2026: Cambridge Harbor poised to ‘Reset the Region’ | |
As the new year begins, Cambridge Waterfront Development Inc. (CWDI) is accelerating efforts to revive the long-stalled Cambridge Harbor project, with a commercial broker now engaged to market developable parcels and momentum building toward a boutique hotel as the project’s anchor.
Board President Angie Hengst and Chief Administrative Officer Tracy Ward, who joined in November 2025, say the volunteer-led organization has turned a corner after years of delays, litigation, and transparency concerns.
“We’re at that tipping point where we’re really moving forward,” Hengst said in a recent Spy Interview. “We feel right now we’re at that tipping point where we’re really moving forward.”
The 31-acre waterfront site along the Choptank River aims to blend public amenities with mixed-use development: a central park, enhanced beach and promenade (now open with benches, tables, and paths), walkable streets, a hotel, restaurants, and residential/commercial parcels. The plan adheres to new urbanist principles, emphasizing accessibility and community use.
A key step: CWDI sought proposals for a commercial broker in September 2025, with the offering memorandum slated for early 2026. Hengst called it “transformative” for a volunteer board lacking large-scale development expertise.

Cambridge Church Celebrating 200th Anniversary Throughout 2026 | |
(CAMBRIDGE, Md) – Members of the Waugh Chapel United Methodist Church in Cambridge are celebrating the congregation’s 200th anniversary. And we got a chance to speak with them, not just about plans for the bicentennial, but about the memories the church gave them as well.
Victoria Stanley is on the bicentennial committee, and gave us a quick history of the church, dating back two centuries.
“We have had a continuous congregation since 1826 with different pastors over time and different programs over time. But the bottom mission is it’s not the building. The members make the church,” says Victoria.
And to the current day, Waugh Chapel has served as an important fixture in the community, from holding a monthly food pantry to helping out local kids.
