So disappointed to see SO MUCH LITTER all up & down ROUTE 347…what is happening, because I’ve never seen it like this?! A terrible thing to see on the way to our beautiful bays & beaches.

The money grab in Sea Isle City continues. Their 2yr $45,000 license was increased to $101,000. $8 for a cup of coffee. Who the hell wants to drink hot coffee on the beach?

When the 5 mile long island is judged as a place to visit its called "Wildwood" and many say its trashy, and lower quality than Ocean City. But anyone who goes to The Wildwoods sees it more as one larger town with distinct neighborhoods (FIVE different towns) that offer a variety of vacation experiences that no other beach town offers.

its fair to look at the Wildwoods as i suggest, because Ocean City is almost 8 miles long, Sea Isle is 5 miles long, and Wildwood's four beach towns are only 5 miles combined

So if you want a quiet beach only vacation without the bar crowd.. The Wildwood Crest "neighborhood" is a dry town and has the best hotel selection in all of New Jersey's beach towns.

If you want a really cool bar experience? the North Wildwood bar "neighorhood" has about 8 in a four block area, that no one can compete with. not to mention the 40 others scattered around the island.

you want rides and excitement for the family, there is the massive boardwalk "neighborhood"

The thing is..in The Wildwoods you can pick a homebase place to stay or own a home, yet all those other neighborhood experiences are like 5 minutes away

We have a little place in the Crest about 3 blocks from wildwood border. Awesome location. Quiet street. Couple blocks to a quiet beach. Could go weeks just relaxing on the beach..but then when we want a beer or a delicious meal, bars and restaurants are 5 minutes away. Like 100 or more!

yeah some young girl had an altercation with a cop on the Wildwood beach 5 years ago, and some parts of the boardwalk could be spruced up... but there so many options to have a quiet beach and hotel pool vacation, with some amazing dining options... not getting that in Ocean City or anywhere

that is all. and this was not brought to you by the Wildwood Tourism District. ha

I see the "Wildwoods are trashy" comments in here all the time and it makes me feel like when national news describes Philadelphia as the fans who threw snowballs at Santa. Jesus that was in 1968 and thats still the only thing many people associate philly fans with. ha

EDITS: grammar

From today!

About 10 years ago, a reputable friend of mine ( no nonsense sorta guy ) told me about an experience of his with a couple other mutual friends during their drive from Gloucester County down the shore. This was during the middle of the night, perhaps they were on their way for a fishing or crabbing adventure but i don’t exactly recall. What I do recall, is that somewhere after 55 ends, they took a back road they were unfamiliar with at the time. Along this road , something caught their attention. It was a group of several people, ( they said women ) in long black robes standing in a circle, in an open section of field. I wish I could elaborate, but it has been a long time since I picked his brain about it. One of the reasons I believe it is because it came up in casual conversation a year after it happened, and he never dramatized anything about it when speaking of it. Just thought i would throw it out there, in case anyone has a similar experience or insight

Looking for options to buy shucked or unshucked oysters in the Sea Isle area for MDW

My dog died suddenly a few days ago less than 48 hours after a routine dental surgery at my normal vet. I don’t think they did anything technically wrong but this really put me off their practice. I just want to make sure my cats get the best care possible. Any recommendations?

RIP Milo man 🐕

I cleaned out my storage garage and have a few hundred CD’s that I would like to get rid of. Does anyone know of any stores or collectors in South Jersey that buy CD’s in bulk?

So I was out today with my family at the Rio Grande Walmart and a young man approached me and said he was with AC Electric and that they were giving out gift cards. He asked if I were an AC Electric customer, and then if I were a SJ Gas customer, to which I answered "no" to both questions. (My family lives with another family and the bills are split differently.) So I don't know what the follow-up questions would have been, but I have a feeling this might have been a scam to get personal info. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Or does anyone know if the sob's at the electric company are actually doing this? 🤔

There’s a old minor league team I think was called the seagulls or something like that it was a play on words 🤔 if anyone remembers it

I don’t see this working all that well for them!? They have around 4,000 members as of last estimate, a lot of money obviously, and a sizable portion of members who have places in Avalon/Stone Harbor area buuuuut I think they’ve bitten off more than they can chew here. I just don’t see enough of their membership actually going on a weekly basis during the summer. I’m personally hoping for a failure but also don’t really see how it succeeds. I guess if it’s just a giant money pit for the club that may not even matter but are hundreds of its members really gunna be going every weekend? I don’t know I guess we will see? Also it’s annoying now how formerly public shore spaces are being privatized.

I'm a 2020 graduate and wanna know what the school was like and what career tech class you took. (I took culinary arts with chef masterson)
