… her grandfather, Joe Rapoport, ran Rapoport’s department store in Port Deposit, Maryland. This red brick building
was Rapoport’s. (Click on the photo for a bigger image.) UD remembers visiting there – the long dark store with clanging registers and rows of dusty shoes in the back, and the upstairs apartments (we slept in the rooms on the second level; the balcony overlooks train tracks and the Susquehanna River).
Port Deposit has been evacuated; the Susquehanna has overrun the place.

I found the photograph here.
UD thanks her sister.

That puts the Acela Express line at risk if the water rises enough … stay safe.
