Ocean City Season, 2011 Many years ago, in the 1970s, we opened the Boardwalk 5 & 10 for Easter weekend, but rarely saw much business in Ocean City before Memorial Day weekend.

The industries will survive in some form, I guess, but […]

May 26, 2008
I predict a good season for Ocean City. A sunny and clear Memorial Day weekend is a good omen, of course. But my prediction is not based on the sunshine or any current “inside” business information. I’m going by the gasoline shortage of the 1970s. Today, we have $4 gas, but no symptoms of shortage. […]
