Wildwood’s Feelings Run Over Like Tram Car

Jen Miller points out that Atlantic City and Ocean City were named among America’s top-10 boardwalks.

Atlantic City makes sense: Gambling, cute cats living under the boards — it is so adorable, really — and that super fancy mall that extends out into the ocean. Ocean City, too, for it’s ban on games of chance so fewer annoying people yell at you.

But — in a travesty — the world’s longest boardwalk, in WIldwood, was not named to the list. Gasp! Where else can you see drunk 18-year-olds at 5 p.m. and go to mass at the Boardwalk Chapel? (Plus: Sam’s Pizza.) Okay, basically I’m just writing this because it’s going to be 70 today and I kind of want to go down the shore.

    Tram Car Techno.

    I was thinking the same thing about being down the shore. I was there yesterday when it was rainy and cold. Of course.

    I think most people either have a love/hate relationship with Wildwood’s boardwalk. Either they love the honky tonk or can’t stand it. It was an interesting list.
