A reminder to Avalon and Stone Harbor property owners: there are many cable and phone wires down from the February ice/snow storm. Comcast and Verizon may be waiting to hear from the home owner before making the repairs.
Wanted to post a “spring like” picture this morning. The 55th Street Bay Park in Avalon will see a few boaters back in the water by next month. Counting down to warmer days

The Borough of Avalon awarded a contract to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company for the planned spring beach fill project. This will be a joint project between Avalon and Sea Isle City. More information in the attached article from the Cape May County Herald.
The new 95th Street ocean side deck is set for summer…will be better once the snow melts!
Also new for this season- Avalon and Stone Harbor combined their annual Chamber of Commerce publications to create the “Seven Mile Beach” 2010 Vacation Guide. Available in local businesses and Chamber offices now.
The Avalon slogan takes on a different meaning this winter. The sign at the park/playground on 74th Street is surrounded by snow.

The Wawa in Stone Harbor brought in a generator last Sunday so they could serve the locals coffee after the blizzard. They were back on their own power within a day.
We drove around the island tonight for a better perspective of the electrical repairs. Saw 2 blocks in the dark: beach block of 71st Street and mid-block 54th Street. I [...]

101st Street pavilion.
104th Street bridge.
A different view of the shore!
I was able to work 1/2 day yesterday and I thought we might be spared by the next round of snow. But by the afternoon, the conditions changed dramatically. Picture taken as I drove home (36th & First Avenue)
I watched the snow blow sideways- bay to beach- for hours. The winds were stronger last night than during the [...]
Saw more streets with lights last night, but there are sections of Avalon and Stone Harbor still without power. If you own a summer home on the island, it makes sense to have your plumber check the house/pipes just to be sure. Some blocks were only out for 24 hours…others for 4 days (and some still out). There [...]
Owners of the Deli and Avalon Supermarket recruited a crew to shovel snow off of the roof today.
Piles of snow in the 29th Street beach parking lot.
I saw a young man using a boogie board as a sled on a similar pile of snow on Pelican Drive!
Unfortunately, the beach felt the effects of the blizzard, [...]
