Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. $17.5K Donation Made To Tunnels To Towers By Ocean City American Legion (patch.com) — Ocean City's Morvay-Miley-Cruice American Legion Post 524 has donated $17,500 to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, continuing a four-year streak of support. Local leaders say they hope the funding helps expand veteran services close to Ocean City, including a proposed Veteran's Village and Comfort Homes complex in nearby Northfield. Residents can learn more or get involved through the post's and foundation's websites and phone contacts.
2. Four wheels, one Shore tradition: The history of the surrey bike (shorelocalnews.com) — Ocean City's iconic surrey bikes are more than a cute photo op—they're woven into local boardwalk rules, family traditions, and the town's identity as a bike-friendly resort. This piece traces how the four‑wheeled rentals evolved, why they suit New Jersey boardwalks so well, and how Ocean City's current regulations shape when and how you can ride.
3. Finally, Ocean City's airport project is about to take off (ocnjdaily.com) — Ocean City's long-discussed new municipal airport terminal is finally moving forward, with bids out and construction expected to start by year's end. The $6 million project, half funded by the city and half by donor Leon Grisbaum, will add an operations center and a public restaurant overlooking the runway and bays.
4. Why a Triathlon Swim Gets Canceled (And Who Makes the Call) (triathlete.com) — An ocean safety expert who has led an Ocean City swim workout for 19 years explains how race directors, lifeguards, and officials decide whether to cancel or shorten triathlon swims. Using Ocean City's flag system and club practices as examples, the panel discusses risk, liability, and why decisions are made to protect the least-experienced swimmers, not just the strongest.
