Here is a short movie, produced by documentary filmmaker David Layton in 2011. It’s offered in celebration (and, OK, self-congratulation) of our half-millionth visitor to Blogfinger. And also in tribute to a town we love.
It’s been 10 years since this movie was made by Charles Layton’s son David, a professional documentarian. 2011 was only two years since we began this experiment in small, small town journalism.
It was a great privilege for me to have Charles Layton and Mary Walton join the Blogfinger staff. They both had been professional journalists from the Philadelphia Inquirer, and I learned so much from them.
A few years ago the Walton-Laytons moved back to the big city (Philadelphia.) They, of course, are irreplaceable, and that’s how its been here since they left.
Thank you for showing this short film from 10 years ago. I enjoyed the reporting and especially appreciated liked seeing the fishing pier intact, and the
clips of town and the beach. It captured the folksy ambience of OG..
