i cannot believe how many people cannot spell spigot correectly. i agree with the implementation of a fee and reimburse the user with coupons. the sponsors can shoulder the cost of the SPICKETS

Personally, having travelled around the country, I am not sure why anyone ever comes back to Cape May County for vacation. EVERYTHING costs ..... nothing is ever provided to the tourist to make their stay enjoyable that does not cost money. Everyone that lives here that doesn't own a tourist-related business, and even some who do, complain constantly about visitors to this area and try and make it as unfriendly a place as it can be. Showers and changing areas are offered at the best beaches of this nation. Even the beaches in New Jersey are mostly fee only - except for the Wildwoods but you have to pay out the nose for parking, if you are lucky enough to get a spot close to the beach.

Cape May County government officials and businesses have to stop being so short sighted. They only worry about "this season" and, maybe "next season". They have to look at the Tourist Industry from a broader perspective. Each town competes with all other towns for visitors - don't want "riff raff" to visit (i.e., day trippers) and want things to remain as before - except, of course, for higher profits this year. I've lived here the majority of my life, and do not expect anything to change.

Oh please don't even suggest spending anymore money. A simple spickets will turn in to a 5 million dollar adventure on my tax dollar. Larry, Mo, and Curly can not balance a budget please don't give them anymore ideas to spend money

Cold Showers at two block interviles is a must, if you want to atract first class tourists.
Redesign parking and the city would get its investment back tenfold. Take a page from Florida, Start welcoming tourists instead of rapeing them.

Good idea. but it can't be a public facility. At first this would attract those family day trippers we want, but soon it would evolve to use by all those types of people we do not want to attract, (and we cannot put that in print). Maybe we should go back to privately operatred changing areas. They should be expensive to use, but then a percentage of the cost could be returned in the form of discount tickets good for the remainder of that day.

This is so typical of the Wildwoods and the control of the Hotel Motel Association. They don't want day trippers! God forbid someone should come to Wildwood and NOT stay overnight. It has always been this type of backward thinking from this organization that holds Wildwood back. Maybe, just maybe a day tripper, if he had a nice time would come back and STAY!

Here's a clue, go home and take a shower and don't come back.

Tue, 01/29/2008 - 8:41pm

If you put showers then ,no one will spend any money, people come down park up the back streets leave there cars all day , get off beach change in car , eat there lunch,,then go to the board walk or go home, small fee should be charged

There is a shower house on 24th Avenue, a half block off the boardwalk.

Wake up Wildwoods. Tourists spend money, even day tourists. People need to clean the sand off after the beach. Take a look at Florida. All beaches provide shower spickets

Sat, 12/08/2007 - 5:16pm

I think they should have a place to shower and change it's a normal request give them a portable hot showers

Tue, 10/09/2007 - 8:35am

it would be a good idea to invest some of the room and tourism tax to build simple shower spickets on the beach near the boardwalk. This would be a much better attraction for the tourism industry than buying the new dump truck for the public works dept. The city has all winter to design and construct a shower spicket on the beach.

DON'T BUY AN HISTORIC BUILDING IN AN HISTORICAL DISTRICT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COMPLY. AGAIN,DUE DILIGINCE. YOU COULD SAVE A LOT OF MONEY IF YOU RESEARCH. COMMON SENSE!

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 6:34am

The HPC is a joke. Money talks, there is no consistency with their decisions. It's ashame.

Mon, 12/01/2008 - 8:55pm

If the city is going to dictate what type of building materials are being used, maybe they should contribute to the annual maintence and upkeep.

Tue, 12/02/2008 - 8:24am

Corzine is nothing more than a tax and spend democrat....higher fees (tax).....higher car registration (hidden tax).....higher tolls (tax).

Sat, 11/22/2008 - 7:15am

This is SPAM. I guess what do you expect from a small town paper, cater to your advertisers and sacrifice your integrity?

Editor: Does your Wife happen to sell Real Estate? You keep publish these moronic articles telling people to buy houses in the worst declining market in history. How about the other side? Publish an article about Japan's RE Bubble, that one lasted 17 years....

YOUE PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM.. AND YOU ARE FULL OF ***

Tue, 11/11/2008 - 7:58am

You have made some wonderful suggestions. I am in the water damage restoration business, and you just have no idea how many jobs I get from people not turning their water off at the meter. Then you get a freeze, the next few days pass and it warms up, pipes break and flood the house or at least one or two rooms. That is a terrible way to come home.

I had never thought of the antifreeze in the plumbing, brillant! But you may want to make sure to tell them to make sure they rinse it out once home , especially if they have children or pets.

Is there a way to get anymore information on the outcome of the situation? Did they lose their homes in the end? what loans are being referred to in paragraph 9, the 220,000.00 did they steal their identity and have loans in their names, or did they use the home to get loans? I actually am in a foreclosure situation and have a company that I have been talking to for about 2 months that offer this program. What should I do to report them and put a stop before they get someone else?

Thu, 10/30/2008 - 2:09pm

The scarecrow looks just like the owner of that office

Wed, 10/29/2008 - 11:52am

In Ocean View on RT 9 is some real team spirit. Right before you enter Upper Township!

Wish I could post a picture of the Phillies Team in front of that house!
