Ah, Wahlwood, "where the goys are." I was off in Allanic City, with the rest of the Jews.

I used to take the train down to the shore when I lived in NYC (tho not Wildwood.) Once, there were a few hookers on their day off, with a cooler of beer at the train station in Newark. It made for an interesting ride.

White trash knows no borders! The accents just change.

Wildwood is the place for neon. Also the only free beach in NJ.

Of course, I remember the OLD Atlantic City, pre-casinos. My grandparents and their siblings had apartments overlooking the boardwalk since the 1920s, and my sister and I spent time there in the '60s, when that era was still alive. The wax museums, dinner clubs, amusement-park piers, Edwardian hotels, all gone now. Steel Pier and Million-Dollar Pier are shopping malls now!

Free beach? I used to go to Seaside Heights ... I don't remember paying.
