More bad news when it comes to casino revenue.
More celebrities in Cape May, blah blah blah. Anyone know where those weekly potato sack races are?
Speaking of celebrities -- "not really" category -- I'm going to be a "celebrity" chef at the Tropicana's "Taste of the Quarter" on August 24, which benefits the United Way. I'm not cooking (that might be illegal), but serving samples from the Palm from 7 to 7:30pm. Please come out and support the United Way. Please don't spill on me.
Again in the "not really" celebrity category: Playboy is looking for bunnies in Atlantic City.
Murder-Oke hits the stage!
I really wonder how long Ocean City can keep it's "dry dry dry" stance. I live in a dry town, but with a thriving BYOB scene. I think it would help Ocean City's bland dining scene.
Here's someone else's report on the Sea Isle City 10 mile island run -- without all the crying and vomiting. And I'm not the only one who was challenged by this run. Here's what our "Joy Runner" had to say.
Take a look inside Revel, the under-construction casino.
Bet you didn't know this about Stone Harbor.
More smiling out of towners!
And -- hey hey! -- I got to write about peaches for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Yummy.

There's also been a Dateline TV Special about the Stone Harbor murder...
I'm not so sure letting OCNJ restaurants serve alcohol would be a net profit for the city or its businesses.
For all the visitors you'd attract, I think you'd lose families that come to OCNJ because it's dry. Like my family.
I rarely go without a beer or two during dinner - especially when I eat out - but I'm willing to give that up for a more peaceful week at the beach.
That said, I think OCNJ could get away with BYOB without attracting the crazies or losing the families.
Mark: I don't think restaurants serving alcohol will ever come to Ocean City, and I don't think they should. As you said, it would tamper with the family friendly image. But I think allowing BYOBs would help the city. Sorry if my point wasn't clear.
People might be willing to go without a beer or two during dinner, but most restauranteurs will not even consider Ocean City because of they don't allow BYOB. I think it's a big reason that the dining scene is so limited (and the Inlet in Somers Point so crowded).
