Now that
schools are out across the state, this week is the first week we’ve seen the
influx of weekly renters. Many people I’ve grown up with hate this time of year
– and understandably so; Traffic lights that have been blinking yellow for
months are now turned back on, roads that used to be two directional are now
one-way-only. And let’s not even discuss the traffic.
But secretly, I’ve always loved it. Yearly, it serves as a reminder of
how beautiful a place I live in. People drive from all over to rent homes, and
stay in hotels, and frequent my favorite restaurants and stores during
their annual family vacation. Others choose to vacation in this little corner
of the world that I call home. So to all you jersey shore locals, let’s
remember to share our little slice of heaven, and try not to curse out those
bright orange plates as they miss their third [!!] opportunity to enter the 34
circle [what is it about traversing a circle that's so difficult, anyway? Tips on
navigating a traffic circle…that’ll be a post for another time] Because after
all, those bright orange plates help support our uncle’s Italian restaurant on
east Main Street, and our neighbor’s jewelry boutique on the corner of Bay Ave.
And anyway, biking is great exercise.
[my slice of heaven]
