So many changes to Wildwood. More condos to purchase for those who can. Less family motels to bad. At least I enjoyed my years of vacations there started in the 1950’s to 2000’s those were the days! Thanks for the update’s Joey
Well done! It is so nice to see these awesome investments being made into improvements. There are so many buildings and homes that have not been maintained and they need to go. Doo Wop is no longer relevant and therefore inhibiting growth. Most people from that era have passed on or if they are alive, not bringing spend to our community. BG Capital, and the Icona Brand are leading the way by bringing the right aesthetic needed to the Wildwoods. This is a very exciting time. Thanks, Joey.
A funny thing, I grew up in New Jersey and only visited Wildwood at 30. Everyone always said there were closer boardwalks and now we have family reunions there Wildwood every year now for about 15 years❤
All these condos with few exceptions look like they could be in Paramus NJ. Frames with siding which won't last.All white and battleship gray. Happy to see that the Madison is proceeding and looking good.
All fine and dandy. The board walk badly needed a change But the one main issue that wild would needed is a change in attitude by the 20s30s40ssmiething that visit 97 percent of these adults hane no comen sence. The young minds today focus on the cell phone sports and not knowing how to dress properly . Yes your at the shore , look at the 70 s 80s we knew how to dress ask anyone over 60 .Blame it on the clothing manufacturers , most of the styles are geared towards hip hop . Another thing all and I, mean all people today under 50 can not dance for shit no style , the wrong movement for the song , I, guess the just don't care oh! And get rid of the fireman's convention , these men and some woman are shitting and pissing on people's properties , I've seen it over the yrs Thay spend only a third of what the bikers spend . Bring back the bikers . Other than that Wildwood has still the best beach in the country. ZHank
Pacific Ave other than in spots is run down which ia why thw city is giving the go-ahead to these buildings. They displace of course housing for seasonals and lower paid workers which was planned but then became a high end hotel with two night clubs. You wish they'd be replaced with something than frame and siding condos that could be in Paramus NJ. The developer who converted the old firehouse on Pacific, for instance, did a tasteful job of incorporating it and creating new apartments in that theme,think it's called the Brick House. Not everything has to be googie but 90% of these condos are characterless.
I remember they had the whales painted on the side wall of The Boardwalk Mall for years then for a couple of years it looked like they were repainting the whales with only one whale remaing and Poof! gone then Draculas castle. Hope they paint something fantastic now.
I would drive up to it every year to get a good look at it. Was a wonderful painting. Stayed in North Wildwood so seldom walked that far down the boardwalk.
I spent most my life going to wildwood from the early 70s played in bands down there in the mid 80s at harry the hats and kiddy’s I miss the old clubs and motels where I stayed the old games on the boardwalk and rides there’s to many tee shirt stores on the boardwalk every other store is a shirt or body Pearce place I miss the old days
Awesome video! Thanks for the updates. Can't wait to see the finished projects. Also did that Starbucks ever cause traffic like we thought it would? Let the camera woman know she did a great job. 👍 Love ya brother and tell the wife I said hello 👋
Happy for Wildwood that they’re going to have a beautiful, completed boardwalk. Has anyone brought up North Wildwood‘s boardwalk? It’s a real mess in some places. Any chance we can get some state funding for that?
It looks like the Southern portion, past the Moreys piers area, that there are already beams under the tramcar runways. I know for the last 2 phases, they had to add new supports there. Are they already present there / will this make the process go faster do you think?
Hello Joey, has any updating/construction happened to the Ocean Hotel? I stayed there Labor Day 2022' and was told by the staff that they would be remodeling the place, I loved the location.
Will you have any North Wildwood updates? Curious if anything is going on the lot by the elks, Inlet new building is complete, North Shore update, etc?
Wow. Quick return for Boardwalk rebuilding. Once I heard that a law suite was in the works figured it would be months before work could resume. Don't think it is ever fair to give more then a 5 year tax abatement. With 20 years of not having to pay property tax existing homeowners will get stuck making up the difference. I don't own or plan to buy a house in pension taxing & ultra high real estate taxes NJ. Just my two cents on this.
Thanks as always for the info Joey. Question about the status of Charlie’s Sandwich Shop on the corner of Cresse & Pacific. They were supposed to open in August; they didn’t. Now all signage & most of the interior equipment is gone. Any details?
so.. why was the boardwalk in the open area at the Coca-Cola sign redone? That wood was solid and smooth, looked beautiful seemed like it had a lot of years left. Wasnt it the Rainforest IPE woold installed just 12 years ago, that was supposed to last decades? What was the problem with that boardwalk segment?
Have heard that the substructure in that area was going bad. They are carefully taking up the decking and will be putting it back down once the substructure is replaced.
I still cannot believe that they tore down the historic Shamrock. The town really needs someone who knows what they are doing to run the urban renewal. Imagine if Cape May tore down the Ugly Mug. And then to replace it with more Cookie Cutter Condos. Ridiculous. The Mudhen stuff will probably be nice. The stuff in the Crest also probably needed to be done. The rest of it? The town is losing it's character and I don't see a good plan to revive Pacific Ave ... The stuff they are doing will just contribute to crowding and issues with parking ...
Moore's gone, Shamrock gone, Beat the clock gone, Casbah Comedy Club gone..................to bad people today have no idea how much fun Wildwood was pre condos
Inside is the best and. Beatifull. 2. Diferent. Finish
So many changes to Wildwood. More condos to purchase for those who can. Less family motels to bad. At least I enjoyed my years of vacations there started in the 1950’s to 2000’s those were the days!

My favorite time of year with no tourists!

The Madison is looking good! Thanks Joey. So happy with what they’re doing.
Wow that Madison resorts looks nice. I remember it being the admiral the ocean view can’t wait to see what’s in store.
Thank you, Joey! Excellent journalism. Accurate, informative, and entertaining.

Joey, these videos are always helpful and playing an important role in us purchasing a summer place.
Thank you, Joey.
Thanks for everything you do, Joey. Love the updates!

i hope they add more seating and upgrade public restrooms

Hey. Are you referring to the oceanic?

They started working the very next day after the lawsuit was dropped
What ever happened with oceanic hotel and their planned expansion and remodel. Last I heard they only remodeled 1/3 of the rooms?
Thanks as always for the info Joey. Question about the status of Charlie’s Sandwich Shop on the corner of Cresse & Pacific. They were supposed to open in August; they didn’t. Now all signage & most of the interior equipment is gone. Any details?
Do you know anything about the Binns & Bonito being sold and possibly demolished
Any update about the Starbucks on corner of rio grande and park boulevard
Hey Joey, any word on whats going on at the old Ocean Holiday? Thanks for the tours on the bulidings to come!

It's officially on hold. Icona's Bridge Too Far.
Thank You!

No more Boardwalk Mall Arcade?
No. They sold all the equipment.
Ready to lay some pipe lol
North shore bar?
Pretty soon it will all be cookie cutter condos. The Wildwoods will officially lose its charm. 😢

It looks lonely....😢
Butt ugly boring condos & McMansions. Yippee! Its getting just like Avalon
Like they really need more condos what about building housing for Sr citizens 😮😮 they condos like a hole in the head
Destroying the town with all of the condos 😢
Moore's gone, Shamrock gone, Beat the clock gone, Casbah Comedy Club gone..................to bad people today have no idea how much fun Wildwood was pre condos
the condos are so depressing in so many ways. it needs to stop.
