Growing up just north of the city, Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant NJ was a summer ritual....a rite of passage for so many of us in the tri state area, enjoying the freedom of our teens. Partying on the shore and hitting the boardwalk to win Zeppelin, Rush and all the other rock band paraphernalia that was so abundant in the early thru the late 80’s. To see what has happened there is devastating to so many who have that area sewn into the fabric of their youth. I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like for the relatively few year round residents of towns like Sandy Hook, Seaside, LBI, Atlantic City, Point Pleasant, Wildwood…….it’s just shocking….I’m in total disbelief.
