Title: Seaside NJ Boardwalk on fire
Post by: ericm on Sep 12, 2013, 06:52 PM
 Jeez, these people there can't catch a break!  First Sandy, and now this fire. For those who aren't familiar, Seaside Park N.J. is the town just south Seaside Heights , and have connecting Boardwalks. SSH is where the Jersey Shore TV show took place, and the pier is where the Roller coaster was that is in the infamous shot of it in the ocean after Sandy.

Not confirmed but friends of mine fighting the fire have said a lot of the boardwalk has been destroyed, and at least two dozen businesses!   :shocked:

Just a horrible thing for those people to go through after this difficult past year.
