What will (if anything) be happening with the (I assume now defunct) DeFiglio's Great Valu that was in Ship Bottom? I know it's for sale and are they ever returning again? Shame they got hit so bad along with LBI in general from the storm. Thank goodness though that we got our other supermarkets back at last though I'll miss De Figs with some of the pretty good and unique things they had. Hope they will somehow be back one day or that another supermarket may take their place.

Drive by this place on 72W all the time and never see more than one or two cars parked outside. Yet it has been open for years and years. How do they stay in business? Has anyone ever tried their candy or fudge? Is their some kind of interesting history to this shop?

Any news on Dom's? Been to the island several times through the winter and spring and there doesn't seem to be any signs of reopening or cleaning from Sandy.

What is the updated schedule for the reopening of Daddy O? I've seen a lot of activity there lately.

I just learned about this worthy project! (Info inside!)

I stand corrected... Tucker's will not be torn down for condos. I called the information phone number on the banner they have displayed. The person I spoke to said he was a family member of the owner. I was told they are closed and looking for a buyer to preferably keep it a restaurant. My feeling is it will be vacant for a while - sounds like they are in no rush to sell it. (so much for my reliable source of my previous post - sorry all)

Is open! Although I did not go in I did see folks entering and leaving with bags of stuff. YAY! (well not entering with bags...just leaving with bags of stuff...)

Went by there yesterday and still looks like no work started. In fact there still appears condensation in the windows? They had great pizza and I can't see now how they will be open for the summer. And what is the story with 7-11 in BH? Same thing there - they have started renovating yet either.

Does anyone know if the Maine Course will be reopening? I think it was located in Beach Haven. they had great lobster rolls.

How is Murphey's coming along? Coming down Memorial Day weekend so hope they'll be open.

Thank you for removing all those recent ridiculous posts and barring the know-it-all, narcissistic poster who continuously bragged, bullied, and blustered his way through this forum. He shall not be missed. It's a shame that a select few try to ruin a good thing, but I'm glad to see you're on top of it.

Is there a petting zoo on the island?

Testing

I visited the island yesterday and was glad to see the progress that has been made since the storm. Although these strides are fantastic for business owners and homemowners alike, I walked to the ocean (during a low tide phase) and was surprised to see exactly how much of the beach has actually been lost, even in areas that previously had replenishment. We all knew the beaches would be impacted with such a severe storm but I was not expecting the sights I encountered. I visited three township beaches altogether and found the conditions quite depressing and sadly similar. A few questions: Has there been any talk/plans of beach replenishment in all towns (not just the ones mentioned in the article dated May 3rd)? Also, I found several pieces of driftwood (with nails) either on the beach or floating just underneath the surf (quite disheartening and also quite dangerous with beach season upon us shortly) - Is the driftwood common now? Are pieces washing up regularly? Has the remaining beach sand been sifted for debris? I've been a part of this island for 17 years and was deeply saddened by the conditions I observed. Please someone give me good news!

Does anyone know if the Freedom Spa is going to reopen?
