I posted this already but Im starting a new thread and reposting. well all. Just got back from a fun filled wildwood day Hey Contessa-- were you working the dippin dots today? I saw a black haired woman at one stand.. It was hard to see all the hotels that were gone. My wife simply cound NOT believe how many are actually gone. The capt table was gone.. Still do not believe.. I yelled out the window at Al's hotel.. but he did not hear me I guess The 24th street hotel was very packed and a nice hotel too The boardwalk was packed.. The Macks was as good as ever. Groffs is not open til June 9th.. Little Italy was as good as last year too. The broccoli rabe is out of sight! And to be honest.. Some of the condos are not that bad looking. There are some which are designed well and are quite different then the rest.. As an Engineer I like to see this.. and that Coastal colors place down the crest right on the water looked really nice too. Seaport was closed tight The Rio looked very sad.. about to be demolished.. waiting its demise.. What was the roller coaster that was painted orange on the pier up north?? Was it new?? Bought 3 sweatshirts (hoodies) from a boardwalk store and the bill was $100.. ow.. Wife wanted all of us to look like a family lol Overall we had a blast!! traffic was dead. No problem except for road construction in Rio grand on the way in.. Oh and there was something going on at the Grand in teh crest. Fire engines and emts all over the place and cops all over.. Wonder if they found a body inside?? LOL of the owner! Frank

FlyinGN: Only one body found inside the Grand? Hum...There should have been three? In all seriousness, maybe some vactationer tried to pet a rat thinking it was a dog by mistake...

I saw a black haired woman at one stand.. Frank Wasn't me! I work, and live in OC...but I was on the WW B'Walk today. Hubby and I took a trip down to find me a Gyro...none on the OC B'Walk! Went to Harry's Corner...and wandered over to Mariner's so hubby could see some of the guys he used to work with. Walked down the Boards a bit...and stopped in to see a nice Indian lady that my daughter an I know. Asked how they did this weekend, and she said they were down 40% from last year...and it rained last Memorial Day weekend! The guy in the store next door said he was down from last year also. Very weird cause the Piers did very well. Seems the kids that usually go to these stores can't afford the Condos...unless they get a whole gang of them..and of course then the realtors will not let them rent cause there are so many. Got a real Catch-22 going down there.
