The
Doo Wop Preservation League has introduced and continues to support the "Neo
Doo Wop" movement - an effort to encourage 21st-century interpretations
of classic Doo Wop designs in new construction and development throughout the
Wildwoods. Everyone from national chain stores to local restaurants and proposed
new hotels are getting in on the act...
Here's a quick look at the shape
of things to come...

a Doo Wop twist! At right, Stewart's Root Beer opens on the boardwalk with a distinctly
Doo Wop-inpsired design like no other! |
| | | | |  | | At
left, a new Walgreens opens in Wildwood with a one-of-a-kind Doo Wop-inspired
sign with flashing stars and neon lights! |
| | | | | | At
left, a new "Super Wawa" convenience store and gas station adopts a
Jetson-esque Doo Wop motif for its design & signage. At center, the Marvis
Diner renovates an original '50s-era building will cool neo-Doo Wop touches and
installs a great retro sign! At right, a Harley Davidson motorcycle shop models
itself after a 1950s-era movie theater. |
| | | | | | From

its Wildwood branch bank. A Subway restaurant on the main boulevard into Wildwood
sports a retro neon sign. The Starlux Motel was an extensive 1999 retro-renovation
of the original 1950s-era Wingate Motel, sporting a dramatic glass-encased "Astro
Lounge". |
