I too grew up on the boardwalk through 60s & 70s. My parents would let us walk to the boardwalk ride the rides, play games, the haunted house. We'd pay $1 & play putt-putt, then go swimming, eat candle apples, corn dogs all day. It was so much fun. The boardwalk was packed sometimes shoulder to shoulder with visitors & locals alike. Fishing on the pier, riding the skyline, the Ferris Wheel was my favorite-it faced the ocean & when it went up & around again-such a thrill. Come on CB lets bring fun back to the boardwalk. These highrise hotels are just in the way. The local motels are much better & friendlier. That's where I worked most summers since I turned 12yrs old & stayed out of trouble, learned how to earn a living.
