Summer street musician. Main Avenue in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. 2012. By Paul Goldfinger ©
The Associated Press wrote an article about 8 shore towns and how they are doing so far this season. We posted the link on “Wassup” but now we have bit of a conversation going on. Please read the article and then check the comments. What do you have to say about the commercial successes in the Grove this summer?

From NJ Commons: ”Revenues are down in 8 shore towns — according to a survey by the Associated Press — but while Sandy may have sent tourists elsewhere for summer rentals, delayed beach opening, reduced the number of rental properties and extended the school year, some folks are blaming the losses on a rainy summer ” Some Ocean Grove merchants are also saying that revenues are down.
