The Sea Isle City Arcade

This is a brief note that my nephew sent about his Sea Isle City Memories:

I have a lot of fond memories of Sea Isle City. Every year my mom would take us to the beach for 1 week. Often times we’d go with another family and all the kids would play together, making sand castles or jumping the waves, or, as we got older, riding boogie boards.

However, there is one thing in particular that I always anticipated with great excitement: The Sea Isle City Arcade. I couldn’t wait to get the red tickets that came flying out of the Ski Ball machines. And there were always at least two days of the week when my mom would give us each $5 (it went a long way back then!) to play whatever we wanted. I know it sounds wierd, but as a child, that’s one of the things I always wanted to do when I was in Sea Isle.

Even now, everytime I see the big brown and yellow sign, my heart jumps a beat!
