    You gave a fantastic, in-depth tour of the Mall. Thank you! I absolutely loved my stay on Jackson Street two decades ago at the Virginia Hotel. I went solo and nothing felt so magical as sitting on the deck of the hotel at night as all the lights shined about me. Washington Street Mall was a short walk away. The one thing I'll always remember was a bakery that made fudge/marzipan petite pigs. I brought one home for my mother and she adored it. Sadly, the shop became a catering place years later when I returned.
    I now reside in Florida but while in NJ, Cape may was my favorite getaway.
    Again, thank you for such a thorough, informative tour, Ben.

    Nice video.
    I grew up in Cape May, and am so used to the way it used to look, I don't think the re-do is an improvement. I guess I'm old-fashioned (I'm a year older than the mall itself).
    I remember the way Christmas looked especially. Garland with lights zig-zagging overhead from one end to the other, multi-colored lights instead of the horrible, sterile plain white, the wreaths on the gas lamps, and one giant tree on each block, decked out with lights and ornaments (trees that - now it can be told - were cut down from Belleplain State Forest - 100% true. I know, because I was there when they were cut down), and after the Cape May Christmas parade (which eventually gave way to West Cape May), that information booth with a dark past held none other than Santa Claus himself - my father, who was also President of the Mall Merchant's Association for 25 years.
    I sure do miss those days.

    Watching your video with a bit of sadness. My husband and I were supposed to be there a couple of weeks ago with a stay at the Virginia, but unfortunately had to be put on hold because of the corona virus.. that’s ok, just gives us something to look forward to when we rebook for a future visit..so I will watch this and imagine I’m there. Love Cape May

    The gf and I went there last month and we literally had the perfect timing. Right in between when the first round of Covid was dying down before it started going back up again, case wise.

    where winterwood is, there used to be a puppeteer there, and I know the Hollanders helped him out. I can remember meeting Jack Needles on the second floor with my father. then there was the McDowells that owned it.
