“Hi Paul…
Funny, I left the house at 5 a.m. to drive up to Sandy Hook to shoot the lighthouse today before the sun came up. I wanted the the lighthouse to be lit, so it had to be an early visit.
“Then later today I looked at the Blogfinger header photo, and if I am not mistaken, that would be the houses on the bay at Fort Hancock at the tip of Sandy Hook.
“Hopefully, that is the last vestiges of snow for us this year in the foreground! Enjoy.”
—Bob

Carousel at Seaside Heights–Exit 82. Did someone say carousel? Send in the clowns. Paul Goldfinger photo
Seaside Heights. By Paul Goldfinger. ©
The property is worth millions, but the price tag, the items that the town of Seaside Heights will get for the land include: a carousel which is being phased out, a parking lot along the boardwalk—half the size of the beach being sold, and 67 acres of undeveloped wetlands worth $4,100 per acre. This sounds outrageous.
It is amazing that this story hasn’t prompted a major investigation by the State and the County.
It is reminiscent of 1986 in Ocean Grove when the CMA wanted to sell land by Fletcher Lake, along the beach, to build a condo high rise. That proposal was beaten back by the people. We wrote about that story earlier this year.
In Ocean Grove we also have been sensitized by the shenanigans related to the possible re-development of our North End.
The Seaside Heights proposal is being challenged by a lawsuit brought by the American Littoral Society, Inc. and by the New Jersey Conservation Foundation. Where are the citizens of Seaside Heights and where is the Governor who saw to it that they received funding after Sandy to rebuild the beachfront?
What sort of backroom deal allowed this to happen?
The people of Ocean Grove should keep an eye on this story, and if you hear anything, please share with us. See the comment below which contains a link to more details.—-Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger

Long Branch boards reopen. NJ.com
Dave Philo of Ocean Grove sent us this NJ.com article by reporter Rob Spahr.
The Long Branch mayor was in no hurry to rebuild after Sandy. He wanted to be careful with the design for their one mile boardwalk.
Long Branch widened their boards from 10 feet to 16-20 feet. The piles elevated it to 25-30 feet above sea level for protection from future super storms. Mayor Adam Schneider said that most Jersey Shore boardwalks were at sea level.
The mayor said, “Building codes work,” noting that structures which were up on pilings survived Sandy. The final cost was less than initially thought, winding up at $19 million, and FEMA paid for 90%.
Dave wondered why OG wasn’t considered to be the last boardwalk to be completed, but he wasn’t too eager for the title, because “it would be a dubious distinction.”
