The best worst reviews of motels in Galloway and Absecon, NJ
If you have ever traveled along Route 30 in Galloway or Absecon, you know just how many motels there are within only a few miles. It seems like just about every major hotel brand is there.

Things I ‘See’ on the Boardwalk
This week’s Six Words on a Boardwalk Bench are quite personal. I’m going to let you in on a part of my life I don’t often share. As my long-time readers know, I am almost totally blind. My days of actually seeing things on the boardwalk are long gone, but I still run on the boards. Each year I compete in a series of races, including the New Year’s Day 5k and the always exciting Ocean City Half Marathon. This year the half marathon (13.1 miles) is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 22.

A visit to Ocean City Farmers Market: A summer salad recipe
Farmers Market Week is in August in the Garden State. What better way to celebrate than to visit a local farmers market. This was my seventh and final stop on my summer of 2024 Farmers Market tour. If you have followed along with me and my rescue pup, Theo we visited Somers Points, Ventnor, Egg Harbor Township, Galloway Green and Margate. Brigantine was solo visit since no dogs are allowed. Last on the farmers market tour we ventured into Ocean City, NJ on a rainy Wednesday morning. This market is not new to me. Growing up, I spent summers in Ocean City at my parents home and back then it was my kids that would tag along with me to the market. I would always purchase Jersey fresh corn and tomatoes from the Ocean City farmers market for summer time dinners which were a favorite. Sliced local cucumbers, onion and chopped tomatoes for a salad was a summer time staple in our house. Dressed with olive oil and vinegar, salt and pepper and mopped up with some crusty Italian bread. Nothing says you are Italian and from South Jersey . Next time you visit a farmers market remember this recipe.
