i know there's a old vid of 147 from this site http://www.darkinthepark.com/Wildwood/wildwood2.htm, but does anyone actually have old video of it from the front of car like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY30u2g4CQk, because i want to know what it looked it from the front view because i cant remember it and i was so young, if anyone has one, that would be great.

A new FDL video tour is online. It is really nicely done. Not only gives good perspective on the FDL but also the immediate surrounding area.

One of the things that still appeal to me on the boardwalk, after all these years, is that it brings out the kid in me....I don't want to be reminded of being an adult when I'm on the Wildwood boardwalk. If I  need an"art "fix" I'll go down to Cape May or up to Ocean City.  What's next? A champagne and caviar bar?     Wink    George


 
The market will dictate what Wildwood wants (or keeps).  Wink

I don't want to drink and walk around on the boardwalk, let alone get on a ride. But I'm not their market. I don't think it hurts, but I wouldn't want to see it as part of a larger trend. It doesn't seem like it would be.

I wholeheartedly agree the motels are an art form.   I'm just saying I am not that into some "art."   I have to say I was at the MOMA and Guggenheim in NYC when I was younger and knew then that I was not into that kind of art.    Now, when you focus on all the motels in the Wildwoods and talk about the types of architecture and all the little things that make them so special (the plastic palms, the pools, the railings, the different rooflines), THAT I'm interested in.    It's the whole package of the Wildwoods that interests me, "art" or not.

I think what they offer and how it's presented could make all the difference in if this Artbox, etc., ends up feeling like Wildwood and - more specifically - a part of the Boardwalk.  If done right (whatever that is Smiley), it could be much better than, say, a Verizon store on the Boardwalk. Wink  If anything, I'm not sure how it fits as a part of Adventure Pier and its theme.  I think - if there's room - this could be a better fit on the old Hunt's Pier, given what's there now.
 
Thank you for acknowledging the Doo Wop Motels as art.  Architecture sometimes gets overlooked as being art.

I totally disagree.  Its like everyone on here is saying the clientelle of wildwood does not appreciate art or having a glass of wine.  I find that quite the contrary.  If you do not like art then who cares if they knock down every motel on the island.  In my eyes that is also considered art.  Why dont we also take down the wildwood sign on rio grande.  That is also art too is it not?  I am glad wildwood is doing things to attract all types of people.  That is what will improve wildwood in the long run.
