The Jersey Shore and Changes
I took my family to Wildwood Crest for a few days last week. What changes are going on there! They're tearing down many of the old motels that lined Ocean Ave. and replacing them with luxury condos. The boardwalk still has good ride piers, but the days of wheels and games are coming to a close. It's no wonder, with games costing $5.00 a try.
It was somewhat sad to see. Wildwood had always billed itself as a family vacation spot. Stay at the motels, walk the boards at night ect., but I got the feeling that it was all going to die. The advent of the luxery condos will bring luxury shops to the boardwalk. It will become a place for parents of a more affluent stripe rather than the middle class family vacation it had been.
Well, nothing ever stays the same.

If the Supreme Court's decision on Kelo vs. New London remains precendent, perhaps the government of New Jersey will decide to demolish these middle class vacation spots for posh resorts that bring better tax revenue.
