local landmarks

The famous Bayville dinosaur on Route 9 is back, sporting an all new look! Check out our photos!

Lots of places have landmarks that everyone knows, but I'd say that here in Ocean County we have some pretty unique landmarks that you won't find in many other places (if any!).

As I was getting my hair cut at a salon on Route 9 in Bayville this morning, I noticed something that many of us haven't seen in quite some time at the famous Bayville Dinosaur - a flurry of activity.

As we've discussed in these pages before, the historic Bayville dinosaur has gone through some rough times lately. But, I do have to say that I've enjoyed seeing the seasonal decorations that the dino has sported recently.

It's only a week and change away from Christmas, and everyone is getting into the holiday spirit in Ocean County!

Anybody who's driven past Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has surely taken note of the majestic Navy Blue Angel standing sentry duty outside of the base. But you may have noticed recently that it's missing from its normal spot.

Generations of Seaside Heights and Seaside Park visitors have taken rides on the iconic, 104-year-old Dentzel Carousel that sat only feet away from the ocean up until the devastating fire of last fall. The good news is that it survived, but it's future is still a little up in the air.

This weekend we drove to Doylestown, PA and entered a museum unlike any I've ever seen before:  The Mercer Museum.  Not only is the building majestic, but the collection of over 30,000 items is interesting and displayed in a very intriguing way.
