The kitchen was seperate from the diner? Isn't that unusual for an eatery? Not really. In Tuckers Pub, (which used to be a bank), the Kitchen is inside the former bank vault. The outside entrance to the kitchen, and part of the kitchen itself, I believe, was added on to the original bank building. Thom

Interesting, I will look for that when I am in Tucker's Pub. I haven't set foot in there in about 10 years but will go in next time just to check that out.

I was at Tucker's last year. It was a really neat place. I was trying to remember what the building was before it was a restaurant. Thanks Thom.

Thanks Thom. everytime I eat there I get this weird sense of deja vu. I had my first savings account at that bank when I was 12 years old, and I can still barely remember standing in a line full of grownups waiting to deposit my weekly allowance and all the money I saved up from returning used soda bottles I collected all over town for the 2 cents return fee. For the youngsters out there who might not remember this time. Before the days of plastic and recycling, glass soda bottles were worth 2 cents each. All the kids in town would pick up every bottle they could find so they could be used again by the bottling companies. Thom

It would be great if this group could pull together and focus on a mission of its own. This idea needs to be developed quickly if possible. I worry that editors won't have much interest in material about a summer resort during the winter months. The publishing window for stories about the Wildwoods situation is probably September, early October at the latest and then it'll close until spring. Do you agree, Al? Apparently you have some experience with news media, whereas I'm strictly a tool of the business press We need a theme to get the editors' attention... maybe some sort of myth-vs.-reality thing. To be continued. -Kathi Kathi, I certainly agree that the quicker we can put our heads together on this and produce something/get the word out there, the better. You're right about the window of opportunity. Actually, this may work out better as something that we pitch around now/this fall, in hopes of getting some publicity next spring/summer. There still might be some outlets intrested in the here and now, though, so it will still be worth the shot. Plus, it's never too early to start planting the seeds for future ideas. I'm heading out the door now for a weekend trip to Mays Landing. I'll try to come up with some "rough draft" letters and ideas while I'm there, and perhaps we can compare notes early next week. Take care and have a great weekend, all!

My father was a milkman in WW in the 50's. He often tells us stories about seeing celebrities in the diner. After delivering to the diner one a.m. he sat down and ate breakfast with Liberace. We take our dad with us to WW every summer and we never tire of hearing his stories of the 50's. The WW Days DVD brought tears to his eyes.

Does he have any pictures from those days? If the DVD got him teary I hate to think how he must have felt when he heard about the diner...

Hi...My dad was a summer resident but my grandparents were year round residents of WWC, Columbine Rd. He stayed with them throughout the summer as a young adult. I've got lots of black and white photos from as early as 1939, when he was a 9 yr. old on the beach with his brothers and father. Beginning in l958 he would pack us all up and we'd spend the summers in WWC with all the uncles, aunts, and cousins. My grandparents had a huge home and plenty of room. They also rented three other large apartments.

pam, you should scan them and post them online if there are some good shots. That would be cool to see!
