Shore Biz Updates

Three updates for you:

1. JOB ALERT! Lincroft, NJ isn't technically at the shore, but it's close enough. Tammie Bennett is looking for an active mom to teach stroller strides classes, which are total workout classes moms can do with their babies in the stroller. Must get CPR certification and fitness certification. For more info, contact Tammie at tammiebennett [at] strollerstrides [dot] net.

2. The Funland Pier in Sea Isle City will NOT be open for Memorial Day weekend. Construction was delayed by 13 straight days of rain. I will still be checking out progress this weekend (I hear the rides are in place), and of course send back a report.

3. Ocean City's Dixie Picnic, home of the Upcakes, is facing foreclosure. It is an incredibly sad story of a good new business that got caught in the credit crunch. I've known about this since Easter Weekend, but sat on the story hoping for a miracle that has yet to appear. I'm not writing about it, but I know someone who is. I'll post a link to her story when it's live.

Also, the NOT OUR JERSEY campaign is picking up speed -- it was featured on nj.com yesterday. Keep it going, people!
