The phrase “when this is all over” feels abstract.
In the meantime, restaurant owners have been super creative with outdoor venues and dining options. Â If only they could control the fickle summer weather!
While enjoying an early morning breakfast on the Avalon boardwalk, listening to the ocean in the distance, I commented to our Fishin’ Pier Grille waitress  that I hope THIS part can remain.  She said she hears it all the time!
Recently I was reminded of the incredible losses owners are experiencing when I walked inside a local restaurant to use the restroom. Â Too see rows of tables, booths, and the bar area completely empty was stunning.
We will continue to support the local businesses that adhere to proper safety guidelines.
P.S. Â When talking with friends and co-workers about going out to eat, the first question we ask each other is “did it feel safe” rather than “how was your meal”- our new normal!
Watching the Weather!
Even a moderate storm is concerning in peak summer season.
Decks and patios are full of furniture. Â Umbrellas and awnings are in use.
Tenants are not fully aware of the strength of high winds, and/or the locations typically prone to flooding.
If you have any questions regarding your shore location and any risks associated, I am happy to answer to the best of my ability.
