You heard it here first. The OceanView lobby is just starting to be rebuilt. A large crane is lifting the steel beams into position. Here is a picture of the construction:

My son and I were back in Wildwood this past weekend. Here are some more observations: They are still working to replace all the draw poker monitors in Mariner's Arcade. They had custom glass panels made to replace the openings were the old monitors were. Jumbos was changed to Founder's Grub & Pub. Stephen's Restaurant has replaced Nan & Pop's and is now open. They added "Diner" and "Lunch & Dinner" to the Marvis restaurant in North Wildwood. They finished the addition to the Marvis Diner in Wildwood, and they added solar panels. They also used some of the old kitchen equipment as planters. Tony Lukes is now a pancake house/ice cream parlor and it was open. They are putting solar panels over the bus terminal parking lots in Wildwood. The Mudhen cottages on Rio Grande Ave are nearing completion. Rio Grande Liquors is now Liquor Downtown. I visited this park on Juniper and New York for the first time. I didn't know it existed. I got some Mack's and Peanut Butter & Chocolate Kohr's Brothers to finish off the trip. They were great like always!

A new business has just opened up in the same location as the former Doo Wop Drive Inn and Tony Luke's and I can't be more excited about it! The owners are a couple who have a son, Brandon, who is on the autism spectrum. Their mission was to find an inclusive place for those with special needs. As a mom with a child also on the spectrum, this completely fills my heart. We will definitely be checking this place out when we go down in June! If you haven't already, I recommend checking out their facebook page as they continue to post updates. (Pictures are from their facebook page)
