It is sad how hi-rise condos are taking over beaches all over the USA. I worked a summer (1970) in Wildwood at the old bus terminal, and stayed in an old boarding house type hotel called the Arcadia (it was on Magnolia St.) about 3 blocks from the boardwalk. I hate to see all the old victorian hotel just torn down. Oh well, that is what happens when there is dense population. I don't have any desire to return to Wildwood now because of the condo's taking over.
We spend about 1 to 2 months a year altogether down t here and what I'd LOVE to know is this: WHO the Hell is going to buy those condos going up all over the place that all look alike? We have real estate friends down there who tell us many of these were so poorly built by illegals that there are fire wall issues, regulation issues and many have gone into receivership. It's one of the most magical places in the world. Nothing beats the beach by the lighthouse in North Wildwood by moonlight!
