News from Around the Jersey Shore

Here's what's happening down the shore:

I like to run, but not this much. While I'll be huffing and puffing my way through the Ocean Drive Marathon in March, I bet this guy'll be thinking it's a sprint.

OMG! J Lo and that husband of hers are going to kick off their tour in Atlantic City on September 29. OMG OMG OMG!

Talk about customer service: the manager of the Windrift (800-453-7438, 125 80^th Street, Avalon) will not only check you in, but save your life.

Here's another biking at the shore piece. But using the Queen's "Bicycle Race" lyrics and the phrase "grease your chain"? Come on, people. Let's try to work around the cliches, shall we?

Of all the things to be cracking down on in Atlantic City...be careful where you cross the street.

A walk does a body good. In Atlantic City's case, the Walk (609-872-7002, 1931 Atlantic Avenue, Atlantic City), which are the outlets right off the Boardwalk, does the city good.

And doesn't this look like a happy vacationing family? I know it's not actually a news story, but it's a reminder of why most people go down the shore (in this case, Sea Isle City): to have fun.
