great pics. Looks like Mike is sniffing the scrapple first before opening his mouth lol.. It good stuff Mike. Its only pigs feet, ears and tail.. yumm./ I actually love it.. Al, Thats the old maple apartments? Seriously, I don't know what's wrong with Mike. What's not to like about... um... pig... parts...? Scrapple's da bomb. Yep, Frank, that's one of the signs from the old Maple Leaf Apts., which were on the 300 block of E. Maple up until a few years ago. I believe that this particular sign was the one that faced Atlantic Ave directly. Al, did you get the Maple Leaf sign from someone selling it on eBay? I seem to remember it on there. I think the same person was selling the neon sign from The Dunes Motel...

I acquired the Maple Leaf sign (along with the sign from the Martinique package goods store) from Fred Musso, president of Ultra Neon. I believe he did have the Maple Leaf sign, along with the Dunes, on eBay at one point, but I guess it didn't sell. I know Fred, and we arranged a sale privately. He's a great guy, and has saved countless classic neon signs in the Wildwoods over the years.

Is that a golden retreiver thom? And the other Dog? I love all Animals! Especially dogs! Crazy - No, their both mixed blood. My wife, who is bigtime into "The Dog Whisperer" on TV says mixed blood dogs are always smarter than pure breds. Buddy is half Australian Sheppard and Half Collie. He is the smartest dog I've ever seen. Most animals react to humans by instinct or by voice inflection or body language but for some reason, Buddy actually understands different words and always responds on the first command. Spooky on the other hand is the most stubborn and determined little critter in the world. It's probably because of her breed, says my wife. Spooky is half Beagle and half Cocker Spaniel. We call her our Beagle-locker or Cocker-legal. The hunter in her takes off after any other critter in the neighborhood and she doesn't listen to us "Unless she's in the mood." (Just like a woman). But boy, oh, boy does she have a nose on her. I've seen her come out of the house and follow a scent immediately all around the yard and end up right at a field mouse hole in the grass. I've also gotten out of my car, walked around the yard, and came into the house. When I took her out to walk, she would backtract every single step I made from the door, throughout the yard, and right back to my car door. She's amazing! Thom So cool Thom. I have been told over the years that mixed breed dogs are the best for alot of reasons. Thanks for the details. Im going to try and find some pics of my spoiled rotten dogs.

OK, I recently did a little research on Crippled Visions, in an attempt to dig up something on his background and identity. Turns out, it's a pretty tragic, yet heart-warming story. Crippled was horribly disfigured and temporarily blinded (hence, the name) in the early 1980s, the result of a still-unclear accident at Castle Dracula involving a drunken ferret, two lbs. of uncooked fish and Robert on a pogo stick. The drunken ferret, following his arrestTo hide his shame, young CV ran off to Mexico, where he would terrify the countryside for two years. Ultimately, he was discovered while sleeping at the bus station in Ciudad Juarez by Mexican wrestling legend El Vampiro. The beautiful bus depot at Ciudad JuarezVampiro sympathized with CV's story, and agreed to take the hideously-distrorted young man in, and train him to become a championship wrestler. He also designed a mask that would allow CV to conceal his deformity. CV took on the name Roberto de Maska, in honor of his childhood friend. However, the fans did not take to his gimmick of grabbing the microphone and chastising his opponents with endlessly repetitive dates and facts about Mexican wrestling history. CV as the "dark ride themed" Roberto de MaskaIt was not until CV came under the tutelege of the mysterious Mr. SKUA, that his career finally began to take off. CV & SKUA teamed to win many matches and, ultimately, would go on to win the Tijuana tag team titles! The mysterious Mr. SKUAAll good things have to come to an end, however, and eventually CV tired of the Mexican wrestling scene. He also missed Wildwood and Robert dearly and decided to return to the States in the late 1990s. He decided to give wrestling one last run, competing as "The Total Package." Sadly, however, he was forced to retire after suffering a career-ending hamstring pull during a three-way match against Dante Enfarno and the Jersey Junkyard Dog at the last wrestling card ever held at the old Wildwood Convention Center. The "Total Package"... in action!Bitter and resentful, Crippled disappeared from public view, and now resides on various internet message boards, where he has joined again with his good buddy Robert to torment the masses. Crippled Visions today, with family.So, there you have it. Some pics and just a little info on the man, the myth, the legend himself...

Wow Al. Just wow. Detail in spades, I didn't know CV's wife is pregnant again? Just to let you know, when you look beneath that mask on her, it turns out it's actually Robert. They sure do make a lovely couple, even though they constantly bicker at each other! Oh well, we all know plenty of spooning goes on when no one is looking. Reminds me of that cartoon in the newspaper, 'The Lockhorns'
P.S... Their youngest seems to be eating Count Chocula cereal, oh Robert, you make such a good mother. He's got your eyes CV, it isn't hard to believe he was conceived in the Whacky Shack!!
