Victorian Grill. All photos by Jean Bredin, Blogfinger staff.

 

This restaurant is where the old corner pizza place was.   Months ago I met the guy who was going to convert it into a burger joint.  But now it will be a Victorian Grill.  What did the Victorians eat back in the day?  We have no idea what will be on this menu. Judging from their sign, the specialty of the house will be exclamation marks.

Jean Bredin says, ” A new restaurant is coming to town. The owner was cordial happy and enthusiastic about the Grill.  He said it would be opening in about 3 weeks, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“I look forward to getting my favorite: a hamburger and fries! ”

And they will have “friendly servers.”

So, if you get a job there, better put on a happy face:

Ocean Grove: decorating a tent for the house tour. Dec. 6i, 2019. Jean Bredin ©

 

The tent was decorated inside and out for Saturday’s  (Dec. 7)  tour of Christmas houses in Ocean Grove.
The Christmas tree inside had vintage bangles, baubles, and balls, in addition to Teddy Bears, and Dolls, a 100 plus year old Victorian print of Christmas.

OG beach front on November 17, 2018. By Jean Bredin, Blogfinger staff ©

 

Editor’s note– ( PG)    After the Fishing Club was wiped out by Sandy in 2012,  there was talk that the Club would shift gears and engage in surf fishing.  It initially sounded like a good idea, allowing the members to teach kids how to fish, as they did before.    But that plan never materialized, supposedly because of liability concerns, but it would seem that there must have been similar issues when a large group of kids would assemble on the pier for the very popular event.

So now, 6 years after Sandy, the Fishing Club remains dormant.

Seeing surf fisherman on the OG beach, as in Jean’s photograph, is a fairly unusual sight, perhaps because such fishermen tend to show up very early in the morning. OG, with its jetties, would seem like a good spot for such sport.

Jean made this image at 2 pm.

Her silhouette black and white image is quite dramatic, so we are pleased to exhibit it on Blogfinger.net.

Around the Grove with Jean Bredin:

Walking around Wesley Lake today, I came upon a gaggle of Canada geese. Although not very popular with some folks, they are a member of the Natural World.  And I decided to photograph them.When I came upon them, one by one they jumped in the Lake.  They have their own synchronized style of traveling from one end of the Lake to the other.

Turn on the music and then the video.
