WILDWOOD CREST — Take a long walk off a short pier.

It isn’t an insult, but an invitation to take a stroll and check out the views from the 90-year-old Wildwood Crest fishing pier. A crowd of residents and summer visitors attended the July 11 rededication, to do just that.

“The first time I walked out on the pier it brought a smile to my face,” said Mayor Carl Groon. “And I hope that it brings a smile to yours as well.”
