Wildwood Boardwalk Burns
 |
And, then, just this morning, a three-alarm fire broke out under Mariner's Landing in Wildwood, requiring 200 firefighters to get the blaze under control. I was in Wildwood over the weekend; fire in Wildwood Monday morning. Coincidence? Well, of course. The Boardwalk of Fame and Happiness (this is an actual sign) doesn't just catch fire because I went for a visit, ate at Sam's Pizza and learned that spray-on sunscreen doesn't work as well as the regular stuff.
Today's fire wasn't quite as tragic as the one that leveled Castle Dracula six years ago; the only rides that were damaged were the Super Scooter and the Seal Flume (which are probably kids' rides). Ha ha, kids, looks like we grownups win again!

Seriously, how many fires is this? 200? I think the local papers have a 'Wildwood boardwalk fire' article template and fill in the blank.

Seriously, the ads on my site now are absolutely amazing. I totally approved both of them immediately after getting the email. Lethal Lady was pretty awesome, but then when I saw a 9/11 truth one I think I broke my mouse trying to approve the ad.
