recent visit to the shore side of Ocean City, New Jersey, the memories and senses never abandon my mind. All I can recall is the wondrous combination of the scorching heat, the grainy sand in between my toes, and the overwhelming smell of salt and delicious foods . . . I feel as if I am standing right there right now! Who could ever relinquish the beauty of the shore, the healing the shore accomplishes, and the tastes of the wondrous foods? Firstly, Ocean City boasts an awe-inspiring appeal to our
Jersey: A Description of the Atlantic City Boardwalk The Atlantic City Boardwalk is a place I look forward to going every year. Each summer my family and me travel to Atlantic City, New Jersey and have the best time of our lives. Swimming, windsurfing, and shopping are just a few of the things to do while visiting the boardwalk. The sight of it is breathtaking, and the mouthwatering food always makes my day.The Atlantic City Boardwalk has intrigued me with the ocean, its many people, and its excitement
I've been catching up on Atlantic City's history, borrowing books from the library like Boardwalk of Dreams, The Northside, and Casino gaming in Atlantic City, among others. After moving down here recently, I can't understand why the South Inlet looks like a 50 year old urban renewal project that ran out of cement 40 years ago, while the casinos have pulled in $150 billion dollars over the last 35 years. Ride down Pacific Avenue and you'll see whole blocks cleared out with an occasional house sticking
Santa Cruz The city of Santa Cruz, California is known for its moderate climate, natural beauty, amazing coastline and redwood forest. This sleepy beach town is within one-hour driving distance from San Francisco or San Jose. You can certainly make Santa Cruz a stop on your Bay area itinerary, but I think it deserves to be its own destination. There is so much to do and see – you can easily spend a week without getting bored. During one of my visits, I made Santa Cruz my base camp and made side
Johnson’s Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City is the story of Atlantic City and how it came to be, during construction, high times, and obvious political corruption. The famous television show Boardwalk Empire, starring Steve Buscemi, centers around his characters’ role, Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, rather than emphasizing the growth of Atlantic City. Although Nucky Johnson was instrumental in the high times of Atlantic City, the book focuses on the city itself and
I walk towards the ocean with the sand warm beneath my feet, the waves lap at my ankles, seeming as if they want to pull me out to sea. The sun rises over the horizon, reflecting off the waves and shimmering like gold. The salt air smells tangy as it stings my nose with the smell I crave while I am away from the ocean. The Outer Banks in North Carolina has been my favorite place to go from my first memories. I look forward to going there every summer because there at the ocean I feel at home. It
Atlantic City The Great Transformation From A Casino City To a Resort Destination Atlantic City is the place to gamble on the East Coast. Although this may initially seem to be a positive characteristic, it is evident that this destination has the capability to be so much more than it already is. This point of interest has the world’s first boardwalk, which opened in 1881, has 4 miles of hotels, amusements, and casinos. Atlantic City was originally a resort town, until 1978, when it changed into
Ocean City offers a wide variety of dining choices. My favorite restaurant is the Marina Deck located at 306 Dorchester Street. Try their cream of crab soup for a taste of true Maryland cuisine, or select from any of their seafood dishes, everything is very good. As with any restaurant, house specialties are always the best so don't go to a seafood restaurant expecting great ribs. Marina Deck is a must visit while in Ocean City. If you're in the mood for ribs or beef I would suggest Nick's Original
The Boardwalk of Santa Cruz "Keifer Sutherland blockbuster Lost Boys filmed on this spot," proclaimed the self-important plaque. It was mounted on a wall along a long flight of log stairs. As I looked back, miles of beach stretched out before me and, across the bay, I could see red, blue, orange lights whirling high above the crowds upon a huge wheel. We made our way back to where the steps met back up with the sidewalk alongside the highway. We were hit by the smell of the city, of the
Talbot has grown larger than Big Talbot Island over the years. Erosion washed sands from the previously larger site and deposited them on Little Talbot. Just northeast of Jacksonville, this park contains five miles of unobstructed coastline. Five boardwalks provide access to white sand beaches, sand bars and clear water. And, the quiet, not crowded shoreline offers plenty of family fun. THINGS TO DO Soaking in the glorious Florida rays is not the only adventure to be had on this beach in the Sunshine

warm day after a long dark winter. Overall the beach can be a calming getaway from the everyday stresses and everyday pressures of life. To begin with, many sounds of the beach can be really calming. the sound of the waves coming of the deep blue ocean that seems to never end and washing up on shore of the white sandy beach or the sound of them crashing up against the jetties .something about the sequential timing of each wave causes an auroral sensation and can almost put you in a deep sleep. Although
yearly precipitation amounts increase by just an inch or two, these changes can be imperceptible. However, when these small changes accumulate after a period of years they can result in natural disasters that are uncommon to certain geographic areas. Ocean temperatures have steadily been on the rise for years. These changing temperatures have the potential to irrevocably change weather patterns for the entire world. In August of 2011, Hurricane Irene gave much of the east coast of the United States a
Today is the middle of summer and all the kids are out on the boardwalk next to the beach eating there bubble gum flavored ice cream and staking with no regard to the “NO SKATEBOARD” sign posted less than 100 feet away. The teenagers are excited about not worrying about essay due dates, or homework assignments. They
Florida location, we are only just over an hours drive from the Atlantic Ocean, and an hour and a half from the Gulf of Mexico allowing us to sell fresh Grouper at market prices. Another guest favourite, that we have received acclaim for on Yelp is our homemade jumbo lump meat crab cakes with remoulade sauce. They are so good that if you closed your eyes you could imagine that you were dining on the Boardwalk in Ocean City Maryland. Hours Costal Bar & Grill is open for lunch and dinner from 11.30am
1. As discussed in Chapter 3, there are several bases for market segmentation. Because the needs and wants of consumers in various markets differ, there are general indicators that are used to segment markets—geographic demographic, and arguably most importantly, psychographic segmentation. From this, variables like lifestyle, family size and region are used to identify key segments for Virginia Beach. (Spiller, 2012, 88) Virginia Beach concentrates the bulk of its direct marketing efforts on prospective
interstate you could see these gigantic mountains above the city of Fresno. Also one thing I noticed was how much of California is actually just farm land. The view above the plane was full of fields that were in perfect squares for farming. Realizing this I was actually shocked because I never knew how much of California is actually used for farming. Usually in movies you see, that are based in California, there are beaches and an ocean. Being in the western United States for the first time I was
Wicomico and surrounding counties got a great opportunity to try themselves in a new Ocean Downs casino that came into operation couple months ago. Ocean Downs casino is an excellent benefit to the community that helps to improve the economic and social status of the county and also serves as a great entertainment for the adult population. Certainly, Ocean Downs casino's gaming taxes will help to improve the economic status of the county
severe damage than others were New Jersey and New York. The famous Jersey Shore Boardwalk located in Seaside Heights, NJ, is a popular tourist attraction that was completely ripped apart. Amusement park rides such as roller coasters could be found floating in the Atlantic Ocean. The hurricane’s storm surge hit New York City and flooded hundreds of streets, tunnels and subway lines. The power was cut off in and around the city for up to two weeks in some homes. The reported costly damage was more than
made it and when I saw the ocean I was so happy! There was one drawback about getting there, it was dark and rainy, so my first impression wasn't as good as it could have been. That night I was so tired, but so overjoyed that I could hardly fall asleep and I ended up staying up for a long time. My sisters and I ended up waking up much earlier than my parents because we were so ready to go to the
