Gotta say that's a mighty depressing statement. You're probably right as I see it happening as well. But when tourism is one of New Jersey's strongest components of the economy and towns like Wildwood have dozens if not over a 100 hotels packed with people all summer long - it's a depressing thought to think the state will lose that. If AC is our only destination place, it really changes the outlook of the Jersey Shore and the Jersey Cape regions. I used to love going to Wildwood for a week when I was a kid. Great boardwalk, incredibly large FREE beach. That's the perfect tourist place. It would really be a shame in my opinion if our memories of places like Wildwood and the old Asbury Park become nothing more than distant memories of what New Jersey used to be. ------------------------ Yahoo!
