The Wildwoods: 19201970 follows a path of progress and preservation in a beach community situated along the Atlantic Ocean in historic Cape May County. Starting out in the 1920s, vintage postcards illustrate this shore town’s transformation from a sleepy seaside resort into a summer vacation hot spot. Look through a window into the past and see Zaberer’s Restaurant in North Wildwood, the Starlight Ballroom on the boardwalk, and the Wingate Motel in the center of Wildwood.

Summary: A Nice Look Back
Comment: Great pictures of places that are still around and others that are no longer here. As with the other reviewer, the author could have toned down the hokey ("just a memory") remarks for every postcard. Otherwise, it was nice to see some things from before my time.

Summary: Great book !
Comment: This "blast from the past" book has some great pics of long gone sights of Wildwood. My only complaint about it is that the author closes most of his narrative for each attaction with "so and so motel is but a distant memory" or some other trite, hokey closing remark.
