Mindy Shapiro from OG, and, in the foreground, is Aviva Minkoff of Philadelphia. They were exploring Main Avenue, Ocean Grove. Blogfinger photo 6/29/13
2019: Aviva is probably a teenager by now. Is she now wearing tie-dye shirts like Mindy? Such shirts are still available, but you need a time-machine from Amazon to order them.

a. The OG Bakery has taken up some of the Nagle’s slack, serving a wide variety of baked snacks as well as sandwiches. Go check their lunch and snack menu. We did a taste test of their coffee and found it to be excellent. They offer cappuccinos and lattes too, plus a busy and cheerful al fresco scene.
b. The new bagel shop near the old April Cornell location is almost ready to open. That will be another source of casual eating. We will taste test their bagels when they open.
c. There is another shop over there with brown paper over the windows and no signs to tell us what will open there. Any of you know?
d. A realtor will also open soon along that strip near the bakery.

GLEE CAST:
Main Ave. springs to life on a June Saturday. Craft show a bore, but downtown OG takes a deep breath and does the jitterbug.

Craft Show on the Pathway. 6/15/19 A fine kettle of fish. Blogfinger photo. © Not as crazy as the flea market.
Whereas the craft show was deja vu all over again, an interesting and varied crowd was enjoying the variety of treats on Main Avenue, especially on the south side. The al fresco dining up and down the street added charm, and many young people were popping in and out of the shops, especially the Comfort Zone, artisan pizza shop, Positano boutique, and Odyssey coffee. Music was softly playing.
The atmosphere was quite alive, and there was just enough congestion, but not too much. This part of town needs to breathe. Huge crowds don’t help, and you can see that on the Pathway where a different flavor was on display—-rocky road.
