Just came across this recently uploaded video from 1988, with footage of a tram car ride!

I randomly came across this in my search for vintage Wildwood footage and wow, what a goodie!! High quality film, beautiful immagery. It spans various parts of CMC and maybe even O.C Marlyland but I can't say for sure as I haven't watched all the footage yet. I'm going to say it was filmed between 1

Hello all wildwood_since_85 from the old board here. Had to make an account to let you all know I found a link to the old board! The only thing I ever found in past was very incomplete. It appears complete including all the trip reports and Photos!! I came across so many pics I took that I forgot ab

Just came across this two part gem on youtube! I'm always on the lookout for 90s Boardwalk footage. This was uploaded a few months ago. There's even some Castle Dracula walk through (aleit very very dark) .

The new owner apparently plans to demolish the historic l

The Ghost Ship had a soft opening tonight and will now be open daily at 6 pm. Here is some footage from opening night! https://youtu.be/GsrYAwAfK7I

Here's a piece we produced on long-time tram employee, Gig.

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:

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

We were down to Wildwood from April 5th to the 8th and had a great time. It was nice on the 6th, but got colder as the week went on. Here are some observations. The hotel on Pacific seems to be close to finishing. They put huge digital signs on the outside walls...not sure if it makes it look a

This channel has multiple videos up of the construction of the Armada, really cool. Here's one of the videos:

I came across these recently posted videos and thought I'd share. Some cool footage from the early 60's, including some night boardwalk footage in the 62 video! (the Wildwood footage starts around the 7 min mark in 1963's video)

This is a bit outdated. I was going to post this earlier this past summer, however my laptop died- along with all my bookmarks. Back on August 7, The Dom Giordano Program on Philadelphia talk radio station 1210 WPHT interviewed Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano. It was supposed to be an interview abou

You can see Stella's end-of-the-year wrap-up here. These Spectacular Season Finales are a lot longer and have tons of pictures! https://doo-wop.city/2022/12/01/post-200-spectacular-season-2-finale

According to the Cape May Herald real estate transactions, it looks like both the Binns & Bonito motels were sold to 3900 Atlantic Ave LLC. The motel website doesn't seem to be available anymore. It will be interesting to see what is coming to the site.

Vacation has come and gone, and even though I've been back for not even a week and a half, it already feels like a lifetime ago. The video is divided up into 2 parts. I was away from 8/26-8/31. As per usual with my videos, nothing flashy, no loud music, just simply wanting to share the experience,

Heading down for the car show . Looks like perfect weather too. if you are walking around, come and say hi. We will be in the Convention center with the white 71 Torino Convertible

My brother, daughter and I went to Waldameer Park in Erie, PA to visit the last operating Bill Tracy Wacky Shack. It still has most of its classic Bill Tracy stunts, although the stunts were mostly different than the Wildwood Wacky Shack. They also have a Bill Tracy funhouse called "Pirate's Cove"

Hard to believe, but 1993 was the first year I stayed in Wildwood at 7 years old. Though I took a gap and didn't stay from 2004-2012, I've been going every year for the past 10 years. I'll once again be staying at the Shalimar. 8/26-8/31. Can't wait!!

I decided to create a Facebook group to post old and new pictures of Wildwood. I call it Wildwood History: Past and Present. Consider joining and helping it grow. It is an open group so anyone can post. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1508910293246623/

Here is a little report that I completed recently on the Ghost Ship.

We just returned from a far too short 3 night, 4 day stay at The Fleur de Lis. As my grand children get older and more involved in summer sports and other activities, it becomes more challenging to make reservations. And too The Fleur de lis books up quickly and that adds to the challenge. June was

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

My son and I went down to Wildwood for a day trip to check on the house. The weather was nice...chilly, but sunny. Here are some pictures and observations. Vegas is staying open all winter this year. They are open everyday from 8 to 2. Gateway put a digital sign in the back. They have a used B

We were down this weekend for our final trip of the season. My son worked in Mariner's Arcade Saturday & Sunday...and they were very busy. The rest of the boardwalk didn't seem very busy. The weather was nice and we had a good trip. Here are some pictures and observations. Many shops in the ce

Anyone on social media has probably seen this already but the condominium conversion of the OceanView Motel in the Crest fell through a new group purchased the motel with plans of a full renovation and building off of the mid-century modern design. The renderings look fantastic and the OceanView wil
