    All of the photos were very interesting. Is the Cumberland Brewery still up and running? I wonder how many of the industrial sites shown in those photos are still operating?

    neither brewery, the export or the german is in operation. they ceased in the early 70s. there is however still part of the old german building standing

    industrial sites operating, none.
    cumberland md. was called the queen city for a reason. at one time it was second to baltimore for industry.
    now as you look down baltimore st., it reaps of empty buildings. a dollar store here and there[:(]

    I drive through it 2 or 3 times a year on my way north. It looks like an interesting town. I always wish I had time to get off the highway and check it out.
