The summer weekends spent along the Jersey shore have been a constant getaway for my family when the kids were younger. We’d essentially drive down to the Wildwoods and stay at various motels that lined up the beach. These motels had the island resort’s architecture built in the 1950’s that had been preserved through the years now commonly known as DOO WOP. Here’s a tribute to those lazy days of summer gone by.

Nice motel. Brings back memories of when we went down there, before we had any kids, and crammed as many people in one room as we could... Now you need to build a section of Morey’s Piers and a working Sea Dragon...

That’s what usually happened to us when some of our friends dropped by and there were no rooms available. The boardwalk and all of the structures throughout the whole length of it gave the Wildwoods a distinct feature that none of the other shore towns had.

Probably gonna try other MOCs within the same theme as this has gotten an unexecpected response from the community.

We just got back from a week at the Wildwoods, and thankfully most of the hotels still look like this. I need to show my daughters this now.

Thanks,

George
