RIP Harvey!
So sad for everyone. He was a wonderful friend and mentor! He will be missed by many🙏🙏
Met Harvey mid 70’s at the Samson St. location as a sales rep - we found we had much in common - over the years I’d drop in whenever I was near his store location to catch up - last time was 4 years ago and check out his newest corvette- Harvey epitomized what a gentleman truly is - Alav ha-shalom 🙏

Harbor seals are winter visitors to the Jersey Shore! ❄️🐟
Every year, these marine mammals stop along our coastline to rest and warm up in the sun. If you spot a seal, remember:
🔹 Give them space—stay at least 150 feet away. Getting too close can stress them out or make them feel threatened. Do not post the location of your sighting on social media.
🔹 Keep pets on a leash—They may seriously hurt on another. Also, seals can carry diseases transmissible to dogs, and vice versa.
🔹 If you’re concerned about a seal’s health or safety, call the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) 24/7 hotline at (609) 266-0538. Their trained Stranding Technicians will assess the situation.
Have you ever spotted a seal along the Jersey Shore? Share your experiences in the comments! 🦭💙

I saw one on the beach while taking a walk. There were four people standing around him less than 3 feet away. I said "he's ok he just wants some sun." He looked at us, barked, and headed back out.....I've seen a couple surfing, they pop their head up and take a look and then they're gone.

The drones that sparked widespread curiosity in New Jersey late last year were not hostile devices but had been authorized by the FAA for research purposes, President Donald Trump stated.
The announcement brings up questions about why the FBI and local law enforcement were not informed about the FAA's authorization or why the FAA did not disclose its involvement in the drone flights.

Did you know the Brigantine Lighthouse was never a working lighthouse?
Located at the center of the island on Brigantine Avenue, the landmark was built in 1926 by the Island Development Real Estate Company and has had a plethora of purposes. It’s served as a museum, gift shop, police station and even a city jail over the years.

Yes, I did.
Yeppers and still neato! We lived at the Atlanta Tourist Camp during '44/'45 winter years of WWII. Daddy saved my life as the hurricane of '44 hit. He took his car to a garage in Atlantic Cit and "Urged" the bus company driver to carry Daddy across the Brigantine bridge. It was swept away as they just got over the old bridge. Thus, we had bus service around Brigantine ((as a school bus as well) for the next 6 months till the temp wooden bridge was installed. Daddy was also involved with the rescue of the 6 Coast Guardsmen trekking from their collapsing-station at about 17th Street north to the 14th pier.
Is the new beach work going to help Brigantine any?

On the corner of Shore Road and Macarthur Blvd., the Somers Mansion overlooks the Somers Point Circle and Great Egg Harbor Bay.
The three-story historic home, constructed of brick, was built in the early 1720s by Richard Somers, the founder of Somers Point. His family occupied the house for over 200 years.
The building is the oldest in Atlantic County and is even older than the county itself.

Didn’t it use to have a porch going around the second floor? I feel like the road construction took it’s toll on the building

Egg Harbor Township -- Bargaintown Market
in the 1940s, Uncle Dick (Richard) Collins had a grocery store and meat market called Pioneer Market, located at the corner of Central Ave and Bargaintown Rd. The store later closed and left Bargaintown for Northfield. After a fire at the Northfield store , he returned to the same location in Bargaintown in the early 50s opening Uncle Dick’s Family Market, a larger store. It was the only food market in the area, unless you wanted to travel to Pleasantville.
Today at the location of this market stands a medical and business office complex.

A recently published study by two Stockton University professors found that despite strains on access to mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic, responses by the Atlantic City Police to those types of calls remained largely unchanged.
Distinguished Professor of Criminal Justice Christine Tartaro and Associate Professor of Criminal Justice Ruibin Lu published “The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Police Involvement in Mental Health Calls for Service” in November in Criminal Justice Policy Review.
