Report: Major Boardwalk revamp in the works
A major structural overhaul of the Boardwalk is in the planning stages, according to a report today from The Press of Atlantic City.
While no specific details or timetable has been made public, Wildwood and North Wildwood officials are looking into solutions to replace sections of rotting wood and concrete supports.
As the report notes, renovation will be no easy task and is likely to be done in phases, perhaps over the course of several years. The estimated cost to replace just one block of boards is $800,000 to $1 million.
One section of boards that will not need refurbishment is the stretch between Oak and Schellenger Avenues, which was replaced with Ipe wood (including screws and no nails) back in 2009 and 2010.
Materials to be used in future replacements remains unknown.
We will continue to follow this story and further developments in the weeks and months to come...
Cape May Horror Writer to Publish Short Story Collection
Horror writer Mark W. Curran, a former resident of Wildwood, is set to publish his Cape May-themed short story collection, 'The Witches of Wildwood: Cape May Horror Stories and other Scary Tales from the Jersey Shore' on September 15, 2017.
The book, scheduled to be released in hardback, contains ten stories and a novella all set entirely in Cape May County, with Wildwood as the central setting.
Curran, a writer and filmaker now residing in Los Angeles, called Wildwood his home during the 1980's when he worked as a musician playing drums in local Wildwood clubs such as Cozy Morley's Club Avalon in and The Club Lincoln on Atlantic Ave, all since demolished.
"The eighties were an interesting time in Wildwood," Curran recalls, "we were winding down from the heyday of the thriving sixties and seventies, a cultural shift was taking place, the decaying structures of previous seasons were crumbling. A perfect setting for horror and suspense."
Curran incorporates many familiar local haunts into his stories, including Wildwood's famous boardwalk, Fun Pier, Mack's Pizza, and references to the town's celebrated doo-wop motels and googie architecture.
Among the stories are tales of modern day witches, zombies, haunted attractions, and even a Jersey Devil.
"Though the stories are classified as horror, there are strong suspense and fantasy elements in the writing, as well as a healthy dose of humor. It's fun reading for all ages, even if you are not a horror fan," Curran says.
About The Book:
Last Anglesea Night Market of the summer tonight, 4 - 10 p.m.
The event takes place along Olde New Jersey Avenue in North Wildwood, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Anglesea Night Market features a collection of award-winning food trucks and gourmet food vendors, in addition to high end crafters, live music, art, yoga and more.
