A Thanksgiving Wish For The Jersey Shore 2012
Share on Facebook Life at the Jersey Shore has changed forever; however, the allure of living in close proximity to our beautiful Jersey Shore coastline will never die.
While clean-up has revealed the
reality of all that Hurricane Sandy has destroyed, families who have lost their
homes try to find some normalcy in their lives as the holidays approach.
Here at the shore a sense of
thanks and hope is beginning to fill the air.
Tears and fears are turning to hope and thankfulness, for the future of
our beautiful neighborhoods and safety of our families and friends who we will
share this holiday season with. Homes and neighborhoods can be rebuilt;
however, the lives of our family and friends cannot be replaced.
May you find solace in knowing
the Jersey Shore
shall be restored and new memories are waiting to be made.
I would like to take this
opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Point Pleasant
Point Pleasant Borough year round residents enjoy the calm and serenity of traditional, Jersey Shore small town living in the winter months and the eventful fast paced life during the summer months. Point Pleasant Beach combines the architectural charm of past eras with the trendy, fun amenities of today. Its continuing attractions to year round residents can be seen in its thriving downtown business district which boasts fine antique shops; small boutique clothing stores, street side café's and small restaurants. The expansive family boardwalk is one of the nicest in New Jersey, boasting Jenkinson's Aquarium, amusements, rides, games of chance, arcades, and great food.
Point Pleasant Borough was originally settled by people of English decent who were mainly farmers and boat builders. At one time the community was a booming logging center where trees were shipped out of the Beaver Dam Creek. The Point Pleasant Canal was built about three quarters of a century ago. That two mile ditch had been a dream of local planners since the early part of the nineteenth. During WWII the canal was used as a thoroughfare so marine ships could safely pass through the Manasquan Inlet to the Barnegat bay. The Canal & Beaver Dam Creek are now an alluring favorite of homeowners who appreciate boating, fishing and the waterfront throughout the year.
Home to more than 20,000 residents Point Pleasant Borough commuters find the NJ Transit rail line station that runs services to New York and northern Monmouth county towns daily extremly convenient.
The Pont Pleasant Borough school district consists of Ocean Road Elementary, Nellie Bennett
Elementary, Memorial Middle and Point Pleasant Borough High School. The Point Pleasant Public School system consistently ranks among the best in New Jersey
