Wildwoods Construction Update - April 2022 

thanks for letting me know. I was never a fan of Marvis Diner to begin with so I might agree with you on that. I will still give it a try

It's called mold!

wildwood is still very affordable i think; despite all of the new construction he is showing, there are still tons of places just as they were 20,30 or more years ago. We stayed at the Bel Air Motel last summer; typical wildwood motel, decent accomodations....very close to beach, still every affordable. there are tons of motels still around just like that one. By the way, I think Wildwood still has a nostalgic feeling. When I used to go as a kid 35, 40 years ago, it was much more crowded than it is now. You could barely move on the boardwalk at night, it was so crowded. Now, on a typical summer night, some parts of the boardwalk are crowded, but not like it used to be when i was a kid.

sadly legally we can't even put one in due to NJ's DEP

NW already has a seawall, it has great views, but unfortunately no railings which is quite surprising for safety. But it does nothing for beach erosion

@@trstampf7854 Jetties would probably work, as they due on many NYC beaches, but NJ DEP doesn't allow it.

@@nickcef Avalon NJ has a jetty, it even has a lighthouse: "8th Street Jetty Lighthouse" and looks like it is at the tip of a seawall at the north end of the island, similar to north wildwoods. if the sea wall in north wood had been extended out into a jetty similar to Avalon's, perhaps there wouldn't be as much beach erosion. there are also what appears to be very short jetties in Cape May NJ beach. in any case, besides beach erosion plaguing some shore communities, the sea levels are also rising at an alarming rate

nothing going on at Samuels at the moment :-(

@@WildwoodVideoArchive Thanks for the info Joey.

the real rio station is now at the Cold Spring Village

Disneyworld is expensive for sure, but so is the Pan American. I can't afford 1 night there in season, lol(?).

Yea just not as expensive lol But yea if u can't afford I wouldn't go to pan american but I can afford that for I guess 6 days which is insane what's insane in disney is the tickets

@@Jacobsgaming20000. Yeah I was surprised at how much Disney tickets are.

screw disney.......spend all that money just to wait on absurdly long lines, and then those "woke" dummies who won't use the words " ladies and gentleman, boys and girls" anymore. What a disgrace, they can shove it.

hey! I was planning on including it in my May update

it is true (this monday is settlement)

hahahaha

I mentioned a popular bar in North Wildwood (this was before the sale so I couldn't say their name)

I left that one out for this video since it looks the same from the last time I was there.

@@WildwoodVideoArchive according to one of their main guys everything should be finished up for the most part by the end of April. At least the kitchens and pool side exterior.

@@CMAdoubleT83 awesome! Not too much outside look different. Hard to see the inside lol

Does your service include mccaws?

@@trstampf7854 not sure what you mean

Besides construction inside the Port Royal, there isn't too much to report on same with the Regis for the moment.

Nothing yet. Plans haven't been submitted to the city yet

Ive never heard of a meatball madness restaurant on Pacific. Where is it located?

@@WildwoodVideoArchive I’m going back many many years ago it was somewhere along pacific Ave forgot the exact location

Is that shithole Crest Tavern still in Diamond Beach? Hair in the food and an attitude to top it off….

ive been going to wildwood my entire life, and not a single time have i encountered drunk people. where are you hanging out?? Are you sure you weren't in seaside?

@@ronyeahright9536 Hi Ron. We encountered drunken young adults at the Gateway Arcade. We were surrounded by people drinking on the beach at WWC and the poolside was a rowdy group of people getting drunk. Kids were around that behavior and language. One time a woman had a opaque coke cup filled with a mix drink. She spilled it at Fascination. She kicked it with her foot. She had 2 kids with her. A guy was with her too but he seemed ok. One time at Montego Bay there were kids having a birthday party in the indoor/playground area. Four women were drinking. One lady stepped in the hot tub and grabbed my friends shoulder to keep from falling. She didn't spill her drink. They were in their 60's and the cussing was awful. Kids were everywhere. I left, I couldn't handle people being drunk and swearing. Coming off the boardwalk and going to our car a bunch of teens were smoking pot and swearing at us as we walked past. I love WW. These public displays of poor behavior is awful to be around. There should never be alcohol on the boardwalk or beach. People don't know when to stop once they start. When I was growing up it was that way.If you want to drink you had to get off theBW to do do.. I go on off season now to avoid these people. I can't avoid it altogether unless I stay home. I like a family friendly environment and many places are incorporating booze in their establishments where at one time did not have a liquor license. I travel to WW alot. I'll be going at the end of this month. It will be a short visit but I'll be there. So you are very lucky you have not encountered these drunks. When their behavior interferes with our vacation I get upset. Not everyone wants to drink, smoke or swear.

@@sheilasrock9424 that is a shame you experienced all of that. Again, I just never have; nothing comes to mind. By the way, have you heard anything about WW going to paid beach badges?? I heard that some time ago, and while I know it would be a good source of income for the town, I think it would be a shame if they did that.

@@ronyeahright9536 Hi Ron. At this time nothing is definite. I am not in favor of beach tags. I think if they do move ahead with tags it will be in NWW and WW, not the crest...YET. Many smokers and drinkers are leaving cans, butts and paper products that trash the beach so they may need to hire people to clean up after these pigs, hence, beach tags to help pay their salary. I think those people pigs should be held accountable and fined but there is limited law enforcement on the beach. As bad as this sounds they are hoping to discourage beach goers that come for the day and bring their own food. The town can only get paid parking from the daytrippers. It's not simple as it use to be. Careless and reckless people are ruining it for others. Now that pot is legal we will be smelling that. People won't obey the law and it will get worse and worse. The off season works best for my family. It's more affordable and less people to ruin our stay.

@@sheilasrock9424 yeah i agree with most of what you say. I hope they don't do the beach tags tho; WW beach has been free access since I was a kid. Definitely fine the litter bugs tho. They should start an anti littering campaign, and hire a few roving officials handing out $150 fines to literbugs; that will more than pay their salaries, and get the message across. Enjoy your summer!

Stop being petty.???

Enjoy the video and ignore the "so"s

Granted I'm new here but my observation...I didn't hear the word "so" at all. If he's saying it, I'm not noticing. I don't know his background but his speaking is fabulous. No "ummmm, uhhhh," etc. He keeps it moving at a great speed and makes us really interested in stuff we may not normally be interested in. As a former east coast gal, I'm grateful that he is taking me back to visit home. 🧡

What ww got going for it is the boardwalk and close proximity to Cape May. The beach not too good especially the quarter mile long trek in many places except North ww which has the opposite problem, to the waterline. And is like concrete in some places

Atlantic City is nothing but Camden with casinos, other than the Borgata, a real shithole…..

Biden killed it? lol Presidents are basically useless, no matter the party. Start locally if you don't like what's happening. Washington isn't concerned with Wildwood. C'mon down here to the Smokies of TN. You'll need a new mortgage to afford a week's stay. Commercialism and greed by the wealthy ruined it all.
