Fixing Tagging Typos

Took a shot of this a while ago and recently rediscovered it on my phone. (It’s at Locust and Camac.) It’s nice to see that there are some people who still care about proper grammar.

Shore Season Approaching, Is No Different

NBC 10 also reported yesterday on the shore, which will be super-crowded this weekend thanks to Memorial Day. The price of a slice of pizza is up — oh no! — at Sam’s Pizza in Wildwood, though it’s only going from $1.75 to $1.90. Eh, that ain’t so bad.

And also the Morey’s Pier rollercoaster, The Great Noreaster, has a new name — and boy is it clever:

Just in time for summer, Morey’s Surfside Pier in North Wildwood is putting a new spin on one of its most popular rides. “It’s the Great Nor’easter, which we’re now calling ‘Fly the Great Nor’easter,’” Morey Organization Vice President Geoff Rogers said.

Oh, I see, they put “Fly” in front of it. Like that Sugar Ray song! After two winter trips to Atlantic City, I really can’t wait to get down the shore when the sun is shining and I can actually go in the ocean.

There Is One Sign Summer Is Officially Over

It may be 80 degrees out, but, sadly, it’s not July. That’s the worst: too-hot summer weather without the laziness of summer.

Aw. Personally, though, I always preferred Sam’s.
