Thanks for this video, you took me right by the Florentine where we stay while in Wildwood . Been vacationing in the Wildeoods for 55 years. Really appreciate the ride.
I love the beach in the winter. Unfortunately for me, Wildwood is almost a 250 mile round trip and that's without stopping in Cape May. I'll just have to go to Seaside, at least the offseason down there is tolerable.
I used to, in the 90's, vacation in Wildwood Crest, I used to stay at the Ocean Holiday. It looks abandoned now, I can't believe all the condo's that went up in North Wildwood...Great video!
I was there many times as a kid. There seems to be some mom and pop motels but I see a lot of new homes. I wonder if the old Thunderbird Motel is still there. I almost drowned in their pool!
Stayed at the Viking in the Crest a number of times 1987 - 1996. Walked to/from there to the Boardwalk many times. Stayed at Royal Hawaiian a few times early 2000’s. I miss what Ocean Av was with all of the original motels, as tacky as they were. I always felt the 2-3 story L-shaped motels used the same blueprint, just flipped over for the other side of the street and with varying festoonation.
Ha, I've also noticed that about some motels. There's a lot of similar looking "motor inn" style motels in the Crest, too. Armada, Bristol Plaza, Nassau Inn, etc.
