From Stan Goldstein: “Last week Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen’s wife, posted this photo of her, Bruce and Rita Wilson (Tom Hanks wife) on Instagram.
Patti says Asbury Park, but if you look closely, that’s right in front of Nagles facing east (Bruce, Patti and Rita facing west)… Pretty cool! I think it was taken last Thursday (May 14).”
“Here they were right in downtown Ocean Grove!”

Maybe the Boss was in the Grove waitin’ on a sunny day. Looks like he found one.

Gonna chase the clouds away

Bruce: How about coming to the Grove and filling those 6,500 seats in the Great Auditorium?

Several years ago, there was a shell shop in Ocean Grove, next to the Sea Grass… I decided to go in and browse. Five minutes later Bruce Springsteen, Patty and their children came in to shop…I was literally standing 2 feet away from him. I remember pondering if I should ask for an autograph, but chose to respect their privacy and not interrupt him. It was fun enough seeing them.

I just had lunch at SeaGrass a couple of weeks ago with two girlfriends. We noticed the guitar signed by Bruce hanging from the ceiling and asked if Bruce had ever been there. The SeaGrass employees said, “No, Bruce never comes to Ocean Grove.” Guess that wasn’t true!

You can clearly see the side of the Quaker Inn in the back ground.

As it was mentioned, the Sea Grass Restaurant is the remnant of the 1879 C. C. Clayton Store Annex. The main part of the store was to west, site of the notorious giant man-eating clam display of later years. Both buildings had hotel floors above. After being conjoined, the upper floors were removed in 1956 when the hotel closed.
