      Great posting on Ocean City, NJ! I love that place. We used to wake up before dawn to make the drive down there to ride bicycles on the boardwalk (during the summer months you can only ride on the boardwalk till 10 or so as it gets crowded with foot traffic). I loved Wonderland Pier then, and I do now as I take my daughter there. $20 Wristband Wednesdays! 🙂

        It was interesting for me, as a non-shore person, to realize that each boardwalk town has its own vibe. While I don’t have a family in particular, I did like the lack of seediness on the OC boardwalk!

      Yeah, that they do! If you ever return, try to get there in the morning and rent a surrey cart. They have ones for 2 people, for up to 6-8! It’s fun. My husband doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle, but he LOVES the surreys. He told me he wants one to drive around on on a regular basis…lol. Atlantic City boardwalk is definitely more on the seedier side, but to be fair, they have tried to “class” it up in the past few years with the addition of The Pier at Caesar’s whose shops hawk goods I can’t afford. 😛 The Garden Pier with the museum and Gardener’s Basin are really nice to visit there in A.C. though, if you’re not into the casinos.

      Love both the copy and the pics of OC, NJ. Remindin’ me of some great times friends and I spent there in the 60s & 70s….long time ago, girl! As for the mediterranean/spanish architectural motifs, I’m bettin’ some east coast developer(s) were competin’ with west coast developin’ goin’ on in that state of CaliforNIA. Yep. Keep us easterners here ‘stead of goin’ out west. That’s my bet and I’m stickin’ to it.

      All the best,
      The EP

        EP! So glad to hear from you- and I bet you’re right on the architectural styles. “RetroRoadhusband” and I just returned from a trip to Italia and talk about vintage architecture! Reminds me of what a young country the US is.
