Construction on the Island

Ti’s the season…

The demolition equipment arrives, and within days, the “lot” is completely clear.  And just that quick, it’s difficult to remember what was there prior. 

Or, a dumpster is placed in front of a house for a major renovation.

The Windrift in Avalon is participating, too.  The outdoor roof top bar has been removed and will be replaced (I’ve heard) with a more permanent structure.

All signs of an improving economy here at the shore!

P.S. In keeping with the demolition theme, the Avalon Police Department posted this notice of a drill later today- using a building scheduled for demolition next week.  The real estate office recently moved to a location in downtown Avalon. 

Police will be conducting an exercise at the old Newbold Realty building at 68th and Ocean Dr. The exercise will occur between 3 and 9 PM. There will be no ‘live fire’, however there may be simulations resulting in loud bangs and booms. FOR SECURITY REASONS, NO SPECTATORS ALLOWED

    We head down next weekend (22nd) for our (albeit late) last beach hurrah! Anything still open?? We usually don’t come down so late, so not sure what is open and what isn’t! Am looking forward to the peace and quiet though! 😉

    There will be a Harvest Festival on 96th Street the weekend of 10/22- 10/23 (including food vendors). Most restaurants and shops are still open long weekends (Diving Horse and Fuze closed after last weekend). Enjoy…hope the weather cooperates!

    Great! Looking forward to it…hope the weather is nice, but doesn’t matter…bad weather at the beach is still better than great weather at work! 😉
