Forget raw size. Neverminding the not-so-implicit homophobia in your previous post, please tell me what about Wildwood is more family-friendly than Rehoboth Beach. Please also tell me how and why an increased gay presence in Wildwood would prevent you from having a good time.

Frank won't agree, but growing up we in the eastern CHill/Voorhees area didn't really have a high opinion of WW. Our shore towns were Margate, Sea Isle, OC, and Avalon/Stone Harbor. Of course, Heavenwood might argue that this isn't a correlation between hometowns and shoretowns, but rather between Jews and shoretowns.

GLBT folks tend to find an area to keep to themselves. This happens on both streets and the beach in Rehoboth. It makes it that everyone is welcome but, if you choose to avoid it because of reasons of your own, then you have that option. The rest of Rehoboth goes on and on, not much different than WW, OC, SH, etc. I just think that a gayborhood at the beach has an up$ide potential. It has to be better than the "Holly Beach Mall" area is looking these days. Like a wasteland.

I don't think it's per se a Jewish thing. Growing up, I seldom heard anyone describe Wildwood as anything but a trash heap. My dad was there recently and called it a filthy, cheesy mess. Of course, frank disagrees, as do many other people, I'm sure. I, myself, haven't been to Wildwood in ages, so I'll reserve judgment as to its current state. Hopefully I can get over there next season and find out once and for all where I stand.

And soug, Sea Isle and OC aren't really Jewish at all. Jews may go there for the day, but they seldom buy property there. Avalon/Stone Harbor are also far from characteristically Jewish, although they currently have a smattering of Jewish families (and the Jewish population is definitely on the rise).

I agree, I was just wondering if there was more to it that I was missing.

If you're asking whether there's a Jewish-specific disdain for Wildwood, the answer to that is no.

Haha no just about the connection between CHill/Vhees and the towns I listed earlier.
