• Neighbors Raise Trifecta of Summer Concerns as Salt Shack Decision Looms (thesandpaper.net) — Neighbors in a quiet Ship Bottom bayfront neighborhood are pushing back on plans to turn Hochstrasser’s Marina into the Salt Shack Café, citing traffic, parking, and noise concerns. After a packed land use board hearing, the owner agreed to fewer seats, shorter hours, and a summer traffic study. The application hearing continues June 6 at LBI Elementary School.
