6ABC Action News correspondent Vernon Odom filed a report from the Boardwalk Mall this evening, discussing efforts to preserve the Wyland's Whaling Wall mural.
Necessary repairs to mall's the north-facing wall have placed the future of the popular, 25-year-old mural in jeopardy. The building itself, the former Regent Theater, dates back to the 1920's.
Included were interviews with Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano and Russell Simmons of the Wildwood Arts Foundation, who states that at least a portion of the original artwork will be able to be preserved.
