Avalon and Stone Harbor restaurants will be participating in the 7 Mile Restaurant Week:  June 4th through June 11th.
Specials will be offered for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For example, a 3 course dinner will be a bargain at $29.50. Retail businesses will be partnering with the restaurants to offer special discounts, too.
As someone who prefers not to cook…this sounds like a great week!
I took this picture late yesterday- a damp and windy day at the beach.
The sun is out today- still chilly, but the weather report promises a beautiful weekend at the shore!
Memorial Day weekend is the latest it can be this year.  Most seasonal businesses are opening the week before or sooner. Only 2 weeks to go…
The outfall pipe removal project continues between 99th and 109th Streets in Stone Harbor. Â
FYI- if you are walking along that section of beach, watch for sinkholes where pilings have been removed…they will swallow your sneakers!
 Springer’s Ice Cream in Stone Harbor has a sign on their front door- open weekend of May 15th. That gives us a few days to review the list posted outside and select a flavor 😉
Good news…the equipment is in place on the 9th Street beach for the Avalon beach fill project. Tractors are connecting pipes and preparing the work area.

The pumped sand will cover the exposed rocks at the edge of the dunes- allowing for safe pathways to the new beach (working south from 9th to 26th Streets).
Just in time for summer!
5/13/10 Update: Great Lakes Dredging Company has arranged for an additional dredge in order to complete the 2 projects quickly. Work in Avalon will start on May 20th, and be completed by June 6th. Sea Isle’s project will be completed by June 12th.
Noticed this sign at the END of Dune Drive in Avalon– right before the jetty rocks at the inlet.
Otherwise, how would the rider know to stop and turn around??
Many complaints have been received in recent years about the number of boat and watercraft trailers on the streets during the busy summer months when parking spaces are at a premium.
As a result Borough Council unanimously passed an ordinance restricting the parking of these trailers on residential streets form June 1 through September 30 each year. This restriction applies to boat or watercraft trailers whether attached or not and regardless of whether a boat or watercraft is on the trailer, on any municipal, state or county roadway during this time frame.
In addition anyone who wants to park a boat or watercraft trailer on the street between October 1 and May 31 must “park in front of, and immediately adjacent to the curb or property line of the property owned by the trailer owner, or occupied by the trailer owner as a tenant under a written lease with the owner of the property.”
Signs will be posted at the entrances to the Borough indicating these restrictions and a public awareness campaign will be initiated prior to the tourist season. Information will also appear on the Borough website.
Happy Mother’s Day to the women in my family who continue to shape my life. My mother – a woman who raised her 4 daughters to be strong and self reliant. My sisters- we’ve shared rooms, clothes,vacations, laughs, and tears….and still do in fact! And my daughter’s in law- the benefits of 2 loving daughters without the difficult teenage years. Enjoy the day…

Kohler’s Bakery has been a fixture in Avalon for 61 years.Â
Walking in their store is like a trip back in time…the old fashioned display cases and familiar smells. Sticky buns (and sometimes crumb cake or donuts) were a Sunday tradition throughout my childhood.
Glad to welcome them back for another summer season.  Enjoying a cream donut as I write this post!
