Anyone driving on Route 206 in Shamong has surely seen the gorilla in the parking lot of Mighty Joe’s, a gas station and convenience store. Formerly found along the Wildwood boardwalk and more recently serving as a decoration at a go-kart track, the gorilla, now known as Mighty...
I saw this on the geocaching website and it reminded me of a similar building I saw when I was really little in Seaside. After a little research, I learned several of these were made by the same company. As far as I know, there are only 2...
Not a whole lot to say – just some ruins of a sawmill that may have been operational as late as 1920. There is very little left, other than the standard cellar holes and scattered bricks. One cellar hole appears to have been used somewhat recently for dumping....
