On July 30, 2002, Bruce Springsteen kicked off his tour for his new album called The Rising. The AP boardwalk was the place, and the beachfront, which usually was empty, became full of people.
This photograph was taken that morning when the Today show broadcast from the beach. You can see the bright television lights. Katie Couric was there holding a microphone standing in the surf. Danny DeVito was there also, schmoozing with the crowd.

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.

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.
