Since there hasn't been much activity on the forum, I figured I'd throw up a retro report. My son was only 2 months old and this was his first trip to Wildwood. He is now 15 and worked last summer on the boardwalk.
His first time on the beach. It looks like it tired him out.
Dante's Inferno had just been re-themed as Dante's Dungeon that year.
Sam's Pizza had just reopened that summer after the fire. They had not rebuilt the hotel yet.
The awning was not yet faded, but it was a seagull target.
I tried a slice of Sam's and was reminded why I usually get Mack's.
The Sand Jamm had just opened that summer.
Before Captain Jacks there was the Magic Brain.
The short-lived Boardwalk Fries on the old Hunt's Pier.
The debut of the Coke tram car.
They added the "Midtown Castle" sign on top of the Wildwood Casino sign for some odd reason.
My son was too sleepy for Mack's....which was a good thing because it meant more for me!
Well, that was all for this trip. Soon we will be heading down again as the island starts coming out of hibernation. Morey's will be opening the first weekend of April which is early this year. My son plans on working there again this summer.
I'm looking at your photos again. I'm in the mood for some pizza now, after looking at that slice. Mack's isn't open yet, but Sam's is on weekends, and I love them both.
