Regarding summers in the Grove, folks say that we have too many cars, too many buses, too many huge events, too many fumes, too much noise, too many beachgoers, too many tourists, too much “junk” on the sidewalks, too many cones in the streets, too much taxes, too much garbage, and too much kvetching.
It looks like the ultimate solution is to get more space. Perhaps we can get the Homeowner’s Association to invade Bradley Beach. But if we are stuck with Radar’s Law, then the best we can do is for all concerned to continue a civil discourse, maintain an upbeat attitude and work towards some satisfying solutions.
Blogfinger will try to help. At least we, in cyberspace, are taking up no space in town and we create no fumes (except perhaps for some hot air).

Cheer up Mary—Radar is still correct 6 years later. It’s Cousin Brucie below:
Be careful Ocean Grovers, I’ve heard that the people in Bradley Beach are thinking of making the bridge between our two towns a drawbridge to stop the invasion, then where will we be?
Right……………try and get by those Muscovy Ducks at Fletcher Lake guarding Bradley Beach and all points south.
I love the idea of invading Bradley Beach, we have the element of surprise on our side as they will never see it coming and likely have no militia or standing army for defense.
To quote the brilliant Yogi Berra, “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”
If people want more space, Deal has plenty of beautiful Victorians on much larger plots that aren’t encumbered with land leases on the market right now.
Adorable and upbeat commentary! Cute.
