“Votes for women” activists were busy in the summer of 1915. These three were advertising a speech by activist Anna Howard Shaw whose biography The Story of a Pioneer”was published that year. Suffragists organized concerts, lectures, parades and even ball games from Keyport to Atlantic Highlands to Asbury Park.
Alice Paul, an American feminist, was born in Mt. Laurel, NJ (see Ocean Grover Mary Walton’s book about Alice Paul, available at the Comfort Zone).

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. 4th of July (Sandy)
“And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers on the shore
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score
“And Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
This pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey, Sandy girl
My, my, baby…”

Jersey Shore Gallery: Village of Loch Arbour
Posted in Jersey Shore gallery, Music, tagged Photo: Village of Loch Arbour on April 6, 2025| 4 Comments »
The Village of Loch Arbour, New Jersey was founded in 1958. According to the 2010 census, the population is 194. This photograph was obtained on a gorgeous June day at 7 pm—the “golden time” for photography. The image shows a group of homes arranged in a courtyard. It is reminiscent of Ocean Grove with historic houses going back to the early 1900’s. There is a porch culture like ours.
I spoke to a family sitting on their porch having a drink. The kids were doing cartwheels under a giant tree, and we met Mom and Dad, who is a volunteer fireman. The common areas are beautifully tended, and all the neighbors share that expense.
It seems like the kind of a place that would be a setting for a Jimmy Stewart movie. I got the impression that this is a neighborly place, a place where memories are made.
