Seagulls & Trash

By ann

A busy holiday weekend + windy conditions = a feast for the local seagulls!

Unfortunately, there is trash blowing around our otherwise pristine streets today.  Before leaving town, homeowners placed their trash and recycling containers by the curb for pick up; unaware that the high winds would send the cans…and the contents… rolling down the street.

There is a solution:  The Borough of Avalon has a trash and recycling center open every day from 7am to 3pm at 15th Street and Dune Drive (the entrance to the Public Works yard). 

Please share this information with fellow Avalon property owners.  Thanks!

Sunday Sights

By ann

 

This was my view yesterday morning. Perfect weather for the Easter sunrise service on 30th Street in Avalon.

And THIS was my view later in the day:  a baby seal hanging out on the beach in the south end of Stone Harbor.   He (or she) appeared healthy- just getting some sun and a nap! 

The police were on hand to keep onlookers at a safe distance.  The officer mentioned that this is the first seal he has seen all winter (it’s not unusual for seals to make a pit stop on our beach).

See related posts from my other “seal sightings”-

Living/Working at the Shore

By ann

This statement will make other sales people cringe:  “Yes, I do take time off from work”.

And, I will even confess to an occasional vacation 🙂

Because I have always lived/worked in a tourist area, working on weekends is a must.  Therefore, I take 2 days off during the week (Wednesday and Friday to be specific). 

Yet, we are in a 24/7 world- with the technology to support that lifestyle.  I am likely to be posting a beach or bay picture to Twitter…and then replying to a work e-mail immediately after.

I sincerely believe I can “sell” the island because I actively enjoy the benefits.  

See you on the beach!

Easter Week

By ann

I expect more company this week and next while walking on the beach.  Currently, the birds and an occasional dolphin don’t seem too disturbed as I sing along with my iPod…will have to tone it down when people return 😉

Building Trends

By ann

On almost every block in town, the spring construction rush is underway.

Contractor vehicles are lining the streets with the looming Memorial Day weekend deadline!

We are seeing more renovations than ever before (in some cases requiring the home to be lifted to meet flood elevation codes).  An architect can magically transform a simple 1950s beach house; keeping the old house charm, while adding today’s amenities.

Noticing a variety of trends with new construction:  more natural materials (cedar shake, stone, and brick), two-tone siding (both color and texture), some “southern” architectural influence (Nantucket style continues to be popular, too), covered decks, pools, and elevators.
