Christmas in Bay head was not the same. There was a big tent next to the firehouse set up for folks to gather with food and beverages. On of the stores were open.I did see many folks I was worried about. most folks tried to be upbeat and say we will be back. It wont be easy but they were determined to get back on track
one of the first shops to open in Bay head was The Beach House shortly before Christmas. That was encouraging!
other shops opened in the spring and the Post office reopened in early April as I recall.
The biggest event was when Mueller's Bakery reopened memorial day weekend!
St Paul's Church is still helping local folks in need. Last week they had a Festival of hope.It was filled with music and food.The church band played.
Sadly The shoppers Warf was too damaged to reopen. It will be torn down. We are not sure what will happen to The Bay Head Borough Hall and the Jolly Tar hasn't reopened yet. Reconstruction of the Beach Platlforms is just starting.
Almost everyone I know lost their car but got a new one.
Chip prodicts it will be about 2 years for our area to fully recover.So onward we go!
Jersey Strong Baby!Jersey Strong!
