Call it “porch pride.” All over Ocean City, you will find thousands of homeowners making their own statements, silently but eloquently, with their elaborate porch decorations. There are religious and sports shrines, displays of decorative flags, and of course finely manicured gardens and lawns. “What Happens on the Porch Stays on the Porch,” declares a porch sign at the Third Street home owned by Barbara and Vincent Rosica. “This is where we sit, this is where we talk, where we laugh,” Barbara Rosica said. “It’s just a very happy place. We just love being here.”
