To all that complain about the bikers,
You are all so jealous that you can not afford a bike and spend the kind of money these people do.
Ride on.

To the person, 9-4-08, Learn how to ride. First of all the loud pipes are for *** that don't see a motorcycle coming. At least they can hear it. Its more for the people driving in a car, not us riding on a bike. Believe it or not, the loud pipes saves life's.

I just hope for a minimal amount of motorcyclists deaths this week, hopefully none, but the roads in this area are just not built for this kind of thing, and the tourists and residents just don't pay attention on the road. It doesn't help that most motorcyclists automatically expect drivers to notice them. Please drive and ride responsibly and defensively.

I can't wait to get down there tomorrow. I love it as well as many others.

Roar is right...all the Harley's are so loud. Why they have no mufflers is beyond me. Maybe the WWPD should do some spot checks of DB levels from bikes. They say "loud pipes save lives" Well imagine what learning to ride could do!

No one will rest for the next 5 days.

Al! Shhhhhh! Dis be mah secret spot!

The back bay areas of Middle Twp. only have this one access point. The back bays offer a tremendous amount of recreation. However, access is being denied to many of our local residents and tourists as well. It is unreasonable to expect that one would travel quite a distance from the northern or southern part of the township for access to the back bay. This one launch point within a radius of ten miles denies many of our kids and all without transportation a fun day on the water. I see the road that runs from Whitesboro out into Richersons sound water is posted no trespassing !!

I feel like a personally contributed to the increase in parking meter revenues. You see, the new parking meter system in town is designed to intentionally deceive people, and I fell prey to the new design. Here is my article I wrote describing the whole experience:

Does this mean the city will be able to house the lifeguards properly next year? Or can't they find the money? Why doesn't the Herald look into that?

I saw a beach checker make a mother standing in the water watching her children go back to her beach chair to show him her badge.
The Mother told the beach checker she did have a badge but in the hopes of making $4 for the City of Cape May this beach tag checker recklessly endanger the lives of children.

Yes Traffic does back up by the Lobster House ( IN LOWER TOWNSHIP ) every
day at lunch time. Lower Township is having a "Great Tourist Season" as well !

Have you been along the Delaware Bay in North Cape May and Townbank on a
Weekend? The Bay Beach looks like Cape May with all the people !

Maybe the Township should put up there own Meters and sell Beach Tags.

If you want to know how Busy Lower Township is - Just read there Police Department's
Weekly Report.

LTBP ? - LOWER TOWNSHIP BEACH PATROL ! Why not...
Upper Township has one.

This doesn't make sense. Meter revenue is up, but they raised parking meter fees. Beach tag sales are up 3%. Did they raise those fees, as well?

I hardly believe that this means that CMC is having a great season.

"... they might has well have just built something new."

They did build something new. It's a shame they couldn't have preserved the place better. I was afraid of that happening.

Toured it today and was disappointed. The designers should have enlarged each condo by cutting back on the amount of them. They are very narrow which makes me wonder how they get furniture or even groceries up the steps. Those condo fees!! Whew!!

Great job! The Sea Mist looks better than ever.

Sun, 08/10/2008 - 5:18pm

Looks like the perfect place for a piping plover nest.....I say the place must close.

Sun, 08/10/2008 - 5:04pm

It's a shame how different it looks from the original. I had hoped they would at least try to blend the old with the new. Different paint scheme, dark red instead of the original color and modifications to the exterior design... they might has well have just built something new.

It is always great to hear about the benefit that the Lions Club brings to blind and visually impaired children of all ages. One of the activities you might consider for the campers is an introduction to the sport of Judo. This year the US Paralympic Judo Team will be competing in the sport of Judo at the 2008 Games in Beijing. Judo is one of those sports that builds confidence, character, commitment, humility, respect and responsibility. All of our athletes are blind and visually impaired and will be representing the USA at this historic world event.

Keep up the great job Diller House and the Conway Family for all that you do as individuals and as a Family.....you are truly blessed.

~Castles in the Sand~

~*~
Seashores parade her castles in the sand,
glistening art scapes towering the land.
Silted embellishments harbour her art,
lain within magnificent form, of heart.
~*~
Artisans spent gathering in splendid array,
nurtured visions in the quaint break of day.
Labouring their legends in a tender reside,
sculpturing the shoreline in buckets of pride.
~*~
Heartfelt displays wane in sweetened delight,
an art show in bestow ‘tis her castles in flight.
Glimpse her craftsman in her grandiose fashion,
creating their statues ‘pon her wayfaring passion.
~*~
Medieval turrets playfully dance the summer light,
lain one by one, within her stilted-panoramic sight.
Sifting fortress, a glittering littoral, her gift of invite;
O’ painting her summer dress in graceful, sandy-white.
~*~
‘Pon her castles in the sand~
