Smoke billows from the ocean side. Not long later, the entire “White Whale” was enveloped with fire, and many fire engines roared into town.  Some were immobile on Ocean Avenue.   Paul Goldfinger

    This is just terrible for the residents, business owners, workers and visitors of OG. That building offered so much without the need to cross over into Asbury. I moved here because there was an old fashioned innocence to the place. I’m shocked and saddened at how cynical I’ve become. My first thought was “So here is the North End plan.”
