I love that each Shore town has its own character. Today I spent my morning and part of the afternoon in Wildwood, riding the tram car from 16th Street in North Wildwood to the Wildwood/Wildwood Crest Border, at Cresse Avenue.
I met some delightful people, some of whom I got to mention in my story, and some of whom I didn't have room for. One of them was Elena Quinn. She's 68 and, as she proudly pointed out, "The oldest tram car driver around." She loves her job - it gives her a good tan, she gets to see the sights of the Wildwood boardwalk, and the people who ride her car are very nice. Well, Nikolay Korichkov, 25, who worked collecting money on Elena's tram today, they're mostly nice. "It seems like a fun job, but sometimes, it's not so fun - there are a lot of drunks at night." Oh, right. Wildwood, with its numerous bars, is still a party town, Nikolay points out.
Of course, there are also lots of families and non-drunks, so that works out, too.
