  • Still Snowing…

    21stSnowThis snow storm is much more than the “light dusting” predicted.

  • Snow at the Shore

    snowon DuneDrThis is the view outside my office- just before 12 noon on Saturday.

    Looks pretty!  And more snow than we expected “for shore”  🙂

    Huge snow flakes- and really coming down now.

  • January Stats

    Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ:  12 properties were posted as Under Contract (settlement within the next few months); and an additional 18 homes SOLD (final settlement) during this month . 

    Not bad for a cold January at the shore!

  • Monday Night

    WawaFor our summer visitors, this is an incredible site:  an empty Wawa parking lot!

    The locals appreciate the  businesses that tough it out through the slow winter months. 

    For example-  the lights are on every night at Nemo’s on 98th and Third Avenue in Stone Harbor.  Great pizza and reasonable dinner specials.

    P.S.  Another year round restaurant was recognized yesterday by the Borough of Avalon.  I happened to be in Maggie’s Restaurant for lunch while Mayor Martin Pagliughi presented a plaque to owners Maggie and Dan to commemorate their 20 years in business.   The mayor thanked them for their many contributions to the community over the years.   Congrats!

  • Boardwalk, part 2

    boardwalkUnder construction: the Avalon boardwalk (including the ramp)starting at 32nd Street  to just past the Community Hall.  The building on the right is the Fishing Pier Grill. 

    I wonder if the feral cats were placed in temporary shelters??  There’s a scary bunch that hang out by the Community Hall parking lot!

  • Under the Boardwalk…

    UnderboardwalkI have a picture in my office of an adorable group of young children ;) on the 25th Street beach in Avalon- taken early 1960’s. The boardwalk was in place, but beach access was literally “under the boardwalk”.

    That was before dune grass   plantings and feral cats forced us to go up and over! 

    The Borough of Avalon recently added lattice below the boardwalk adjacent to the 28th Street parking area- guessing it’s to stop blowing trash.

  • Avalon, Sea Isle City Beach Fill

    12thnorthAccording to an article posted on  http://www.987thecoast.com/   Avalon and Sea Isle City received an acceptable  bid for a joint beach fill project scheduled for this spring. The beaches from 9th Street south to 26th Street in Avalon will be replenished with 500,000 cubic yards of sand.  In Sea Isle City, 700,000 cubic yards of sand will replenish 73rd to 94th Streets.  Great news just in time for our 2010 summer season!

  • Life at the Beach

    DecoceanI know I perpetuate the myth that the locals have nothing to do all day except walk along the beach  ;)    I really do work and have a normal life, AND I find time to walk on the beach!

    14thNorthMany of the beach access paths need to be repaired- but plenty of sand in the north end:  14th Street looking north toward the 9th Street jetty.
