Wonderfully done and very informative. Good job!

[bridgetdangella]

Great job!
We like to listen to some kind of story while falling off to sleep…. This piece however requires more attention because of its interest and compilation of historical facts…an added bonus to our recent trip to the lower shoreline of the Jersey Shore after 62 years of visiting various towns, North to South.
We will be sharing this!

Thank You

Atlantic City has been my favorite getaway since a child. I live in PA. I love the genuine loving and kind people of the Northeast. We go way back. Nothing like New Jersey Beaches. This is our playground. 😂 ❤

[marympostupakakababa]

👏 Wonderful documentary of the Jersey shore. I hope they add more about some of thr other beach towns

[loisenolp]

So far I’m liking this. Reminds me of something I saw in school (I grew up near Cape May). But is it me or does this guy not know how to pronounce Absecon?

[rentslave]

Beach fees started here at Bradley Beach as the hole in the town budget caused by that huge temple on Ocean Avenue left the town council with no alternative.They're the first ones to scream separation of church and state when they imagined that they're being threatened.

It’s sad that seaside heights got smaller because of a hurricane but I’m glad they still have some of the old rides form old seaside heights Anyways great video

[dinocrocetti]

Great documentary. Grew up summers “ down the shore “ . Grandma had a house in pt Pleasant borough
Since 1957 till 2005 when she had to sell . Don’t know about those comments but your vocal narrative was spot on . Done in the style of the Ken Burns Mimi documentary series. Very enjoyable.
How did you leave Skinny Damaro and the 500 club out? Sinatra, Martin and Lewis ? Well there you go - another series ! Thanks again

[katevalentine]

Is the Monmouth Hotel still there at Cape May ?

[vs-yycx]

I really like this video. But I think the narration is too quick, I can't keep up with the pace!

[koblicat]

Hostile?? What do you expect those people to do when the British came to steal their land?

[virginiawebb]

Good information but the narrator's voice is 9ff putting. Kit sounds like hebis reading a school report. Great pictures though. I will check out the transcript also.

[jongZhao-eq]

So that Cape May hotel just randomly burned down? Wtf. Was it built out of plywood?
