What was...

The cold storage plant was located on Central ave and Sherman avenue. This was in the 60's,I am not certain when the bldg was taken down. Central avenue was not the main drag of seaside, although it was wider than the boulevard. I remember the bldg well, I think it was the largest bldg in the town at the time.In fact I think it may have closed in the sixties, because there never seem to be too much activity around the bldg from what I remember, I was just a kid in the 60.s I left there just before turning 12 years old.Now the bar was called the Chatterbox. The entrance was right to the boardwalk.Unfortunately when I lived in Seaside, I was well under 21 so I never did get to see top entertainment there when it was a regular gig for top bands. In fact the remember seeing on the billboard one time when I was a kid that the Beau Brummels were going to be there. I am sure now that I think about it alot of the bands from the fifties most likely played there.

Does anyone remember Walsh's Gulf Station? It was located on the north end of the boulevard on the east side just past Sampson avenue. It may have been actually at the corner of Heiring ave and the boulevard. I remember taking my bicycle there many times to get air in the tires.Of course we cannot forget flo's drive in with the battem out cages or Terry's sweet shop and of course MR. White.

Does anyone remember the ride on the pier that had a seamonster or giant squid on the front? I remember it from my early childhood but it was gone by the later 70s. If I remember correctly it was on the right hand side of the pier if you were facing east. I was too little to go on it and I thought it looked cool.

We are thinking about putting a reunion together of all the people who worked in the clubs or hung out at the clubs in Sesside hieghts. Temptaions,Chatterbox,Razzles(the origanal)XS,Bermuda Club, Hollywoods and the Bamboo and Yakety Yak lets get feedback YES/NO

I think the bar you are remembering was called "The Chatterbox"....I could be mistaken...

If you're a true old timer, you will remember the "Parrot Club", "Beachcomber Bar" (how about Misty and the Greenmen" from the late 60"s) Walsh's became "Tex's" Gulf. (Henry). How about the giant wheel and the big slide between Sumner and Webster. Henry's arcade. "Guess your weight" at Lincoln Av. the Info booth at Dupont. Getting the Daily News on the Boards just after midnight. Watching the garbage trucks go out at midnight 7 days a week. Running thru the Mosquito Mist of Georges Dodge truck. Buying frozen bunker at the Ice House. Watching the guy in the green truck grinding ice for the food stands. I've got so much more. And I didn't even grow up in Seaside. What about the Sonic Blasters that took over the Boardwalk in the early 70's.

My aunt lived on Hiering Ave.There were no buildings at all from her house to the beach (one block). She picked wild beach plums and made jelly. I spent many weeks every summer there. The mayor was Patrick Tunney. Does anyone remember Augie Hoffmann's bar on the main blvd. The big banner outside said"hammond organ". Many a good time there.

Does anyone remember the 2 movie houses in the 60's. i think one was in Seaside Heights and the other in Seaside Park?

looking for photos of carosel that tunney restored. was sold in 1989

Does anyone have a picture of Laughing Maggie ?? Used to be next to JoJo's French Fries with vinegar stand.

Places worked in Seaside Heights/Park:

Sodls Lunch, Central Arcade, The Fore and Aft, The Sawmill, Steakmaster, and Bob's Ranch House

Wow, spent way too many summers there, but had a lot of fun as well as good, bad and very wacky memories...

Remember the little penny machine game you put a penny in the slot and try to get it in a number of pots on the bottom. the penny travels through a number of pegs. It was fun.
