The day after we escaped most of the destructive fury of Sandy, the massive Hurricane some called the Frankenstorm, thick, grey clouds from the back side of the storm continue to blanket Cecil. But signs of clearing showed up this Wednesday afternoon as a few rays of sun peeked through the lighter formations. That provided a backdrop for grabbing a few shots of Elkton’s generally inconspicuous water towers. The tower on West High Street reminds us of town’s industrial past, an era when the county seat hummed with manufacturing operations.   The Plasticoid property was the site of the first fireworks production facility in Elkton, a company having established operations here soon after World War I.
