This is the sort of event, neighborhood and resident populated, that we need more of in the Grove. Let’s reduce the numbers of mega events which bring in loads of tourists, culture deficient themes, money-driven, street closing, parking frustration, Saturday crushing OG happenings.
Let’s let the sunshine into our life-styles here in the Grove.
THE FIFTH DIMENSION. “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In”. From Up Up and Away album.
Don’t we have enough special Saturdays in this town? Will the CMA allow even more cluttered Saturdays for noisy and dopey events which spoil our neighborhoods during the best times of year? Even pet parades on Easter weekend now?
And why are Sundays kept free of similar events? Does the CMA have control over the calendar too?
Who is in charge of special event permits in town? CMA? Township?
This is part of the HOA Mission: “The mission of the OGHOA is to protect and enhance property values and the quality of life in Ocean Grove. ”
Where are you HOA regarding the Saturday mind numbing glut in this town and how those events affect the tax paying residents who come here for the peaceful neighborhood and family small town “quality of life in Ocean Grove?”
