This Jersey Shore location was a big part of my growing up in New Jersey. I haven't been back in 40-50 years.
I recently visited on a day in November that saw a storm with winds of 30-40 miles per hour blow through that morning. The conditions and mood were in stark contrast to the summer days of my youth.
Then it pulsated with life, laughter, music, food and bright colors. People sunning themselves on the beach and playing in the waves. Strolling the boardwalk, taking part in games of chance and challenging each other with thrill rides. Pizza, steak sandwiches smothered in peppers & onions and a cold lemonade were the food choices of the day.
But not today! Memories would have to fill in the blanks.
