Wildwood – Summer ’04

  • 06/27/2004

For the first time in years, I went to Wildwood. I took pictures of some of the more interesting things I saw there. The first few pics are from a ride called “Dante’s Inferno.” Killer art. I’m surprised there weren’t any zealots handing out pamphlets in front of...

Grassy Sound

  • 06/20/2004

Grassy Sound is a virtually unknown town in southern NJ. Just minutes from Wildwood and Cape May, the residents enjoy the summer with no tourists or traffic in their town. How’s that? Besides being somewhat hidden, the town has no roads. A boardwalk connects all the houses (we...

Most sites won’t cover a place like this, and I feel they’re missing out on quite a bit by not doing so. This prison was finished in 1811 and used up til 1965. For the most part, it’s in its original condition, with many of the walls still...

Finn’s Point

  • 05/20/2004

Finn’s Point National Cemetery is small….not even 5 acres in size. When you first enter, you don’t see too many stones. But once you get to the back corner of the graveyard, you find out why; there is a very tall (85′ tall) memorial in the back for...
