    Summer

     

  • Comcast office in Avalon

    At the end of January, the Comcast office in Avalon will close permanently.

    Property owners (and real estate agents!) will miss the convenience of an in town location to swap out or pick up equipment.

    The closest retail shop is now in Rio Grande (near the Shop Rite on Rio Grande Blvd/ Route 47).

    For summer home owners, it may be easier to go on line to order equipment- especially if you are setting up seasonal service.

  • Signs of Winter

    Defined by the “signs” on businesses.

    Just this weekend, “Thanks for a Great Season” and “See you in the Spring” posted on the doors of Pudgie Pelican, the Concord Cafe, and Hoy’s 5 & 10.

    After tomorrow, we will see similar signs on a few more retail shops.

    Thankful for the hardy business owners who stay open year round!  We appreciate the challenge and make an effort to show our support.

  • Best Pics of 2015

    February 2015: both the bay and the ocean froze!

    And a Twitter friend modified a picture of the Avalon slogan to acknowledge the extreme temperatures!

  • Winter Wildlife

    My reward for bundling up and walking along the beach every day?  Winter wildlife!

    I regularly see peregrine falcons and oystercatchers; and occasionally a snowy owl or bald eagle.

    With only the diehard surfers sharing the space, the dolphins glide by close to shore and ride the waves.

    I have walked by -but not too close!- to sunbathing seals.

    And on Saturday morning, I watched 2 whales slowly breaching above the calm water.  Amazing!
