SEA ISLE CITY — Officials here recently accepted a U.S.D.A. check for $30,000, which will be used for the new sign for Fish Alley.

They included Mike Monichetti, Mike’s Seafood and Dock Restaurant; Butch Romano, Marie’s Lobster House Restaurant and Fish Market; Jack Gibson, founder of Gibson Associates; Mayor Leonard Desiderio, and Sea Isle City Historical Society President Mike Stafford.

“Fish Alley” was once widely used by locals to identify a stretch of Sea Isle City’s Park Road, traditional home to commercial fishing businesses.

The city wants to erect a sign along the street, an area of commercial fishing industry, seafood restaurants, markets and recreational boating businesses.

USDA giving lots of money to Cape May County. Money for the boardwalk in Wildwood. Money for a sign in Sea Isle. I think Stone Harbor and Avalon could get some USDA funds for Springer's Ice Cream and the Princeton Bar & Grill. Pork Barrell at its finest.

Your complaint is with the USDA not these guys. What do they do say no? Some other municipality will get the 30K

Thirty thousand bucks for a SIGN??? Each of these bozos should be laughed at by Sea Isle citizens and boycotted (if in business) for agreeing to this bufoonery by the government. Each should have had the common sense to say that this is money that could be better spent. What a group of complete, non-thinking idiots! If you agree---take a stand!

Does the city really need this? Whoever approved this from the USDA should be fired.

30 grand for a SIGN? Can't we come up with a better use for that kind of money?
