Ahhh! That first peak at the ocean as you head to the beach!
STONE HARBOR BOULEVARD is now restricted to 35mph, instead of 50mph. New speed limit signs were installed last week shortly after the repaving of the road surface was completed. The upside for those entering and leaving the island? A chance to enjoy the view of the scenery on both sides of Stone Harbor Boulevard, while enhancing safety for those who live along the roadway! Avalon Boulevard, which has no homes directly adjacent to it, remains 50mph.
AMERICAN AIRLINES recently announced that it will add bus service from Atlantic City Airport to Philadelphia Airport, where bus passengers can connect with their flights. While American did not announce plans to fly from Atlantic City, the less crowded facility and easier parking offer an additional option to those travelling to and from the shore by air. Once parked at Atlantic City Airport, travelers can relax on the bus to Philadelphia Airport.
“WILDWOOD DAYS” singer Bobby Rydell passed away last week at the age of 79. His 1963 hit, Wildwood Days, was a Billboard 100 hit for 9 weeks, reaching Number 17. To this day the tune is synonymous with a visit to the Wildwood Boardwalk, and is often used in promotions and played on the boardwalk speaker system. The Philadelphia-born singer often performed his famous song as a tribute to his favorite shore town. Need to hear that catchy tune again? Click here: https://www.youtube.com/
