I hope they don't remove the section that gets uncovered frequently. There are plenty of track that are still buried.

We recently received this very rare photo of Lucy's sibling, The Light of Asia (1885-1900). This elephant-shaped building stood in South Cape May, NJ. Check out the rail road tracks in the foreground and The Light of Asia all the way on the right side. Wow! ❤️🐘

RIP Gregory's Taco Tuesday Trademark. Taco Bell has officially won the fight for the name. Taco Bell, instead of licensing the trademark from Taco Johns and Gregory's, they sued Taco John until they gave up the trademark in the other 49 states. It was estimated that it cost Taco Johns over $100,000 in legal fees. The small chain just couldn't afford those kind of expenses. Gregory's (which is just a single establishment) vowed to hold on to the trademark for NJ but Gregory's finally gave into Taco Bell. I believe Gregory's was being sued by Taco Bell (like Taco Johns) but it is not clear if that was to cause of the abandonment of the trademark or if a settlement had been reached.

In the end, the big corporation wielded it might fiscal sword to slay the lowly owners of the trademark.

Good old Sunshine Park. We used to take our boat to take in the view...

Ninety years ago, Mays Landing made news in the New York Times with the opening of Sunshine Park. Located on a riverfront tract on Mays Landing-Somers Point Road, it became a weekend getaway for as many as 750 practicing NUDIST families. Men, women, and children would stay in cabins, enjoying the natural sunbathing, swimming pool, playing tennis, using the sauna, whirlpool, and playing miniature golf. Most people would gather in the evenings before the mosquitoes would start biting and play volleyball. Older members would watch from the sidelines and also play bocce and shuffleboard. Although the park was for families, it also attracted showgirls from Atlantic City who were looking for full body tans. Crowds of people were also attracted by the $14 per couple weekend rate.
The famous nudist park was co-founded in the 1930s during the heyday of the naturalist movement by Dr. Ilsley Boone, referred to as "Uncle Danny," a minister and geologist. He published the first American nudist magazine, The Nudist, which later became Sunshine & Health. The magazine was published by his Sunshine Publishing Company.
The park was purchased in the early 1960s by psychologist Oliver York for $120,000. In its last years, the property drew the interest of a casino owner who offered $2 million. However, a sale did not materialize. Eventually, neighbors became critical of Sunshine Park, insisting township officials crack down on the facility, citing health violations for overwhelmed sanitary systems. A judge eventually ordered the park closed in 1983. Ultimately, the property was left to be reclaimed by nature.

And to think, my alter ego, was the first one to suggest someone should make a calendar of the stick cars...

Glad they decided to do it.
