Tutu or not tutu? That is the question.

This is the first (pre-season) Blogfinger edition of “Girls In Their Summer Clothes.”  Perhaps you were expecting short shorts, bikinis, black leggings, thongs, or summer dresses, but these runners were having fun with their colorful campy outfits, just right for running 2.2 miles in public.

 

REMINDER:  THE NJ MARATHON will breeze through Ocean Grove on Sunday morning, April 28.

The race begins in Long Branch at 7:30, and Ocean Pathway/boardwalk will be near the end, so around 9-9:30 am in the Grove.

Asbury Sunset Market is open Saturdays. This post is from 2017 and 2020. But the story is basically the same each season.

 The market will be open every Saturday until Thanksgiving when  the corn will be sold as maize, and historic Grovers will come from Pilgrim Pathway with their friends the Lenni Lenapi and the Delaware  (for whom an OG street is named.)  The Indians will be selling squash and pumpkins.

 

This photo and all the rest are by Paul Goldfinger, Blogfinger.net. 8/22/20. Sunset Market.  Here we see Bernie Sanders with a real job at Jake’s Pickles.

 

What is there to say?….8/22/20

A Sunday smile, you wore it for a while…”
