post off season specials here,knowing where and what they are would be good for restaurants and patrons and my wallet. So let us know what you find.

I was cruising by on this beautiful convertible worthy day and I had a stop and take a pic to show the progress on the new Acme store on 94th St. As you might know, this is the shopping center where the Roses store was located. Looking around at the whole thing, the new store is huge. Can’t wait for it open. I would assume sometime in the spring, That said, living in West OC, I’m really excited about the new Giant store, which is also coming along. Looks like they’re fiting out the interior. The ceiling lights are all on all the time. Of course, it takes a while to fit out all the refrigeration units, the plumbing, all the air-conditioning, the flooring, the shelves, and then to stock the store. I believe it’s slated to open before the holidays. Although it looks like they have a ways to go before they can get all of the infrastructure in the parking lot and get it paved. They also have to complete the intersection at Racetrack Road and upgrade the traffic lights and such. Although theoretically, they could possibly open it just using the side road by the McDonald’s.

Hi everyone. My sibling recently passed away, and one of their final wishes was to have their ashes scattered at sea. My family and I would like to honor that wish together.

I came across Sea Services⁠ and was wondering if anyone has used their services or has any experience with them.

I’m considering Ocean City, MD, since it’s the most convenient location for me. If anyone has recommendations for reputable companies in the Ocean City, MD area , personal experiences, or advice on arranging a burial at sea, I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for any guidance during this difficult time.

Zippin on by

I’m in Baltimore and the weather is clear today (80 degrees) if I drive the 2.5 hours will it be worth it ? Is the town cleared from the storms such as the boardwalk/and main beach area ?

At 60th street, what are these for?

This is very much not a fun story, just to be direct this is about sexual assault. I spent my day at Jolly Roger’s Splash Mountain during Labor Day weekend, I was there for hours. This incident happened midday probably. 

I was sitting at a picnic table close to a lot of foot traffic with my back turned when I felt this hot liquid hit me underneath the table. 

I thought it was inordinately hot pool water at first. But I look down and there is sticky, clear, white stuff dripping down my thigh. Definitely not water. Pretty obviously a certain human secretion. 

I looked behind me and no one was there by then. I blocked it out of my mind for the rest of the day. It rinsed off easily after some splashing around. 

Much later when I was telling my LDR boyfriend about this, needless to say, he was livid. He agreed that it was semen and told me that there was no way that could’ve been an accident. 

But this is the main reason why I’m posting this. Something he pointed out to me which didn’t even cross my mind till then, was that I look younger than my age. I’m well into my twenties but I have that type of face that constantly gets carded. Most strangers mistake me for being underage and it happens frequently enough that I’m not surprised when it does but it is still easy for me to forget. So that motherfucker was probably seeking out an underage girl. 

Splash Mountain is a family friendly attraction. It’s full of children and minors. Lots of families bring their babies there. 

OC often gets shitty tourists here from out of state and rich people on vacation from Potomac or something. Those types can be too comfortable and get up to some illegal shit knowing they’ll just leave town in a few days. I’ve been going to Splash Mountain for many years and have never had any bad experiences. Much less a public sexual assault. 

That person essentially committed a crime in broad daylight and was clearly being calculative choosing their victims. 

Please be careful when spending the day at the water park. Ocean City is a beautiful place and a fun city with lots of ways to entertain people of all ages. But the touristic nature and segregational history tend to breed incidents like this.  

Please be careful, stay with your kids, protect yourselves, always trust your instincts. 

I’m looking for a whole cake. I’m happy with a random bakery or super market version. Frozen is fine.
Thanks in advance for any help. Our usual spot ( the Minit Market) says they haven’t had any since July.

I have a booth at Sunfest this year and am local.

I was tooling around the site and checked out the music lineup.

I usually hadn't bothered to go down to the event because little has changed over the years.

I guess I am now "of a certain age" that somehow these cover bands appeal to me...I didn't know there was a cover band for The Smiths! A bunch of others sound appealing as well AND The Amish Outlaws???

Hoping for nice weather and a fall festival feel. Wine festival is part of it as well as Trunk or Treat on the boards and the dog competition thing and hayrides on the beach.

And, of course, hoping a few sales as well!

So I’m going to be in Ocean City sometime in November when a lot of places start closing down for the winter and I’m looking for some recommendations for good breakfast spots, particularly ones that serve a really good breakfast burrito, that’ll still be open. Thanks in advance!

For those interested

Hello! I will be camping with my dog in November at Assateague Seashore. While I'm there, I'm hoping to see the Christmas lights in Ocean City. Does anyone know of someone that dog sits on Saturday night for a few hours? Thank you for your help!

I (29M) have grown up going to ocean city all my life and I’m finally moving here at the beginning of November!

I’m a survivor super fan and was just curious if there are any watch parties for survivor anywhere or if there are other survivor fans in the area?

I thought this would be an easy Google but it’s not…

Looking for a lot of like 100-250ish blank vintage style scoped keychains. All I can find is new looking ones with a different shape. Ideally I’d like to get them personalized but can do that myself if need be.

This is just a small project for fun with a friend, not trying to make a business or anything. Does anyone know where they source em from in OC, or have a lead that maybe used to work there?

Weird question I know, but if there is an answer, it’s probably here!

Heads up. They were targeting EVERYBODY during bike week. Doesn't matter if you tried to beat the yellow or a 65 year old in a Ford Escape.

It's very cool vintage thrashers cup. We LOVE thrashers

The photos are about a week old. I've been coming to Ocean City semi regularly for a bout a decade. And I love this place in a way I don't quite know how to explain. If you know then you know and if you don't well give it time it'll come to you.

From yesterday, weather was great, even better today. looking forward to a fun weekend!

Most aren’t in bad shape for hanging out. Of course the dunes especially need replenishment. And that’ll be coming in a couple months as they’ve already signed a contract with the core engineers that get started on it over the winter.

This is a nice YT video by ReelJayB.

Hello all!

I was curious what beach access is looking like currently? I've planned to come this upcoming weekend for the past 3 weeks, so imagine my surprise that we have legitimate beach weather on Friday. Now I know the beaches are not in great condition, but I was excited at possibly hanging out on the sand with my dog.

Is it tough to enter the beach given the damage? Is the beach still accessible at the north end of the Boardwalk (since the south end is occupied by the concert)? Will there be heavy machinery going around during daytime hours?

Any information helps!

The worst part of the beach is up by the boardwalk, where all the snow fence that was protecting the dunes got washed away and landed in this area. Then, closer up to the ocean the beach is actually pretty wide and still in good shape. I assume that’s because it was probably underwater the whole time and not being hit by the waves

Spent many of these gray days at Marty's, looking at these cute sheep. Today, I got enough tickets to take one home!
