Modern OG history—2015
Dear Paul and everyone at Blogfinger…
Thanks for doing this reporting. Main Avenue isn`t just private property. It is part of the Ocean Grove “commons”… I am sure the wider OG community (extending all the way to Frankfurt, Germany where I am writing from and beyond…) will come together to make the rebuilding of this part of town.. once again… “an example for others to follow… (as was the case with the boardwalk and further damage from hurricane Sandy”)
I am calling on everyone in the larger Ocean Grove Community to take up their roles as loving and active neighbors and friends as I am sure they will…
Your work Paul… is one powerful example of this indefatigable spirit and communitarian work ethic… Many thanks… Steve Valk

Editor’s Note: Steve is a summer visitor to Ocean Grove. His family has been coming here for generations, so he has a Grovarian view of things. We have posted prior interviews with him. He is a social scientist with some unique opinions about our town and how it could work in the future. Here is a link to our last post about him. —Paul Goldfinger. Editor Blogfinger.net. 2015.
