Right, thats along the lines of what i was saying. Hotels in general stay in business becasue people go places and sometimes need places to stay. Wouldnt you rather have them staying in AP then on highway 35? Although, i guess a hotel on 35 would most likely run cheaper then one on the beach in AP. Or anywhere for that matter. But the point i was trying to make was clear i think. Years and years ago, when Ap and Ocean grove were more similar, do you think anyone ever stayed in an hotel in Ap, then walked over to Ocean grove? Historic Ocean grove, right next to AP. I'm sure people would stay in hotels in AP if they were visiting OG. OG fills up fast in the summer. Hotels attrack people to the area. That's a very good thing. Even when you stay a motel or hotel, you dirve around seeing what there is to do around you, or whats near by. Gee, if your hotel is right in the middle of Ap, then you may have found something! Perhaps next time, you'd come back, but for the purpose of being in the cool beach town you've discovered. How do the hotels on highway 35 stay open? Just becasue a hotel is on the shore in AP, doesn't mean the people staying have to stay within the square mile of AP!! Good point. I'm assuming those hotels exist because there's a market for a lot of men and women here on business. But those boxes have a sterile look and feel. No vibes, no views. Get them here to rooms with a view, some salt air, and a world of possibilities within blocks. <grin>
