What say we fly over to Clancy’s for a brewski.

By Charles Layton.  2012.

Ocean Grove has a time-honored town slogan: God’s Square Mile. It is memorable and succinct. However, as we know, OG is really only about half a square mile – less when it’s flooded — and surrounding its Methodist core there has arisen a large and vital secular community. We think that community needs a slogan of its own. Therefore, here are our “top ten suggestions for a new town slogan.”

 10. Ocean Grove: Not responsible for lost or stolen items.

 9. Ocean Grove: A National Historic Site – but you can get a variance.

 8. Ocean Grove: Gayer than thou.

 7. Ocean Grove: Absolutely no mosquitos. Honest.

 6. Ocean Grove: No parking at any time.

 5. Ocean Grove: Property of Jack Green.

 4. Ocean Grove: Where’s my bike?

 3. Ocean Grove: Home of Blogfinger. (Well, why not?)

 2. Ocean Grove: It only floods when it rains.

          And the Number One suggestion for a new town slogan:

 1. Ocean Grove: What do you have to do to get a drink around here?

 

Here’s a 2022  musical suggestion with  Peter Allen:  “Everything Old is New Again.”

   Ocean Grove: A dry town where Methodists choose to live in tents, and gays live in FABULOUS Victorians.
