CAST OF FOLLIES BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM: There was a time when the Whitfield was a romantic place to spend the morning. And most recently it provided shelter to the unfortunate. Lee Morgan says, “No more open doors at The Whitfield.”

From Michelle. May 3, 2016. Ocean Grove, New Jersey.
I have a question since I moved into the Whitfield in Nov 2014. I never was told about a demolition and I certainly was never notified that I would have to secure other housing at any time. I have not been sent any legal papers—–nothing. Now, what do l do? Where do l go?
Or as one person said, do l just wait for the demolition crew to show up? Seriously? The owners kept taking new tenants even after they knew they were going to knock down the building. How greedy and despicable.
Editor’s Note: The Whitfield Hotel is scheduled to be demolished, supposedly on May 15, 2016. The long delay has to do with the disposition of the residents. Evidently there are still some living there, so it remains to be seen if the demolition will occur as planned.
