OMFG(uest Contrib) - The REAL Jersey Shore/Seaside Heights

The 2009 TV series “Jersey Shore” has rekindled memories for a lot of us.  More remarkably, it has captured the interest of a nationwide audience previously unaware of the Jersey Shore.  If you supposed going “down the shore” is a new phenomenon, take 10 minutes to watch this video.  Rediscovered by accident, this promotional film highlights Seaside Heights, New Jersey in the year 1960.  Yes, you read that right – 1960.  Not surprisingly, what you’ll see contrasts sharply with the shore attractions of today.  You’ll have a few giggles but still be able to appreciate the less complicated times and simpler pleasures captured on film.  Anyone of a certain age, who has had this kind of summer experience, will tell you that the best food, the best beach, and the best boardwalk haven’t changed all that much over the years.  Sure, there’s a little more glitz and glam but the energy is ageless.  And don’t be fooled by those conservative bathing suits in the video, “hooking up” isn’t a new invention either.  Most summer romances don’t make it past Labor Day but a summer at the Jersey Shore stays with you forever.  Enjoy!
