THIRD AVENUE PAVING! After several months of utility work, the repaving of Third Avenue in Stone Harbor’s business district is finally underway! Good bye, potholes, hello smooth asphalt!
SOUNDS OF SPRING! Stand on nearly any street corner and you’re sure to hear the “sounds of spring” in Avalon and Stone Harbor: the sound of a nail gun installing shingles on a new roof; the drone of a lawnmower mowing a green lawn; back-up beepers in areas where roadwork is being performed; the cackle of laughing gulls flying overhead. Spring is officially here!
OVER 100 BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS in a feeding frenzy were seen off Hereford Inlet this past weekend by Cape May Whale Watcher. As the dolphins circled to surround a school of fish and feed, excited gasps could be heard from those lucky enough to be on board! If you’ve never taken a dolphin watching cruise, it’s great fun!
