Shoobies Go Home???
I recently read an article in the Atlantic City Press where a tourist was complaining about those who live at the Jersey Shore and how they do not welcome tourist into their resort towns. It stated that all the locals want is the tourist’s money but don’t want the crowds and congestion that comes with it. I have to disagree with the article, because almost everyone I know realizes that it is the tourist that spend the money in our shore towns, help the economy, and help keep our taxes at a reasonable rate.
Most people I socailize with looks at the summer crowds as a change in season. Just like Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring, I see the excitement of summer a change and I welcome it just as I welcome the fall and the quiet.
So to those who think we don’t appreciate you coming to our towns, think again. The majority of us welcome you.
