Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update March 29, 2018

March 29, 2018 By Bill and Kay Leahy

EASTER WEEKEND brings an Easter Egg Hunt to Avalon on Saturday, March 31st at 10am on the 8th Street recreation field.  If Easter Brunch is more your style, check out Bobby Dee’s Rock’n Chair, The Reeds at Shelter Haven, The Yacht Club of Stone Harbor, or The Avalon Links, all of which are offering brunch options.

THE AVALON LIBRARY offers a variety of benefits—including the Philadelphia Inquirer.  With a library card members can access current and back issues of the The Philadelphia Inquirer.  To access The Inquirer visit http://www.avalonfreelibrary.org/  To obtain a library card residents and property owners must provide proof of residency or property ownership.  Summer visitors may obtain a library card by providing identification and a local address.  To obtain a library card visit    http://www.avalonfreelibrary.org/library-info/obtaining-a-library-card.aspx

HOUSE PORTRAITS by Lisa Cunningham are a great way to capture the essence of your shore home!  Not only do Lisa’s portraits make a great keepsake, they’re wonderful conversation starters when entertaining guests or clients.  They also make a fantastic gift!  Visit Lisa’s website for more samples of her work: https://www.lisacunninghamfineart.com/house-and-business-portraits.html

BULKHEAD HEIGHTS were discussed at a recent Stone Harbor Council meeting.  Rising sea levels and the potential for flooding are behind the discussion.  According to data presented by Lenore Tedesco of The Wetlands Institute, only about thirty percent of the borough’s bulkheads meet the current required height of 6.2 feet.  Changing the height requirement to 8 feet was discussed, an increase of almost 2 feet.   But bulkheads have a long lifespan and are replaced infrequently, meaning it could take decades before all bulkheads reach that level.

SIGNS OF SPRING:  More shops and restaurants are reopening for the season, including Marie Nicole’s Grill, Stone Harbor Bar & Grill, and Spiaggetta.  Chilly temperatures and recent snow have made the month of March feel more like a lion than a lamb, but each weekend more property owners are returning to the Island, as the weather gradually warms up.

THE AVALON/STONE HARBOR UPDATE will return the week of April 9th.

HAPPY EASTER!
