2. Lake Avenue, the most picturesque walking path in the Grove, is fouled with the detritus of Canada Geese. Something should be done–it’s disgusting and unhealthy.
3. Airbnb. Check their website. Currently there are 118 listings for Ocean Grove. There are 14,000 homes, apts, condos, etc available for Airbnb in NJ. Of the 25 top NJ towns, (NJ.com) over half are at the shore. OG is not listed, but Asbury Park is. Starting in Oct. renters must charge the New Jersey 6.625% sales tax and the 5% hotel occupancy fee. VRBO is another online service.

5. Song of the week:
LARRY CHANCE AND THE EARLS. From their album Back on the Streets of the Bronx
6. Quote of the day:
Mayor George Fuller of McKinney, Texas on corruption in local government:
“Getting things done for one person that isn’t done for another is a form of corruption.”
This quote is from a short documentary by two high school students from Texas who won a national CSPAN competition for their film called “What it Means to Be an American.” It is very worthwhile:

7. Ocean Grove Area Chamber of Commercials has a community calendar or their planned events. Go to this link:
In reference to your #2 point above, it is just as disgusting for us who live along Central Ave and Fletcher Lake Ave. Only it is on our lawns and paths!! Lovely for our families and grandchildren! I have contacted folk a few times to no avail. Please tell me why there is not one Canada Goose on the lake at Spring Lake!! Obviously our lakes are most desirable to Canada Geese!!
