Margate's been in the spotlight recently - and not a welcome spotlight, given that the camera crews have been swirling since a British tourist was stabbed to death there last weekend. Today, Inquirer columnist Dan Rubin turns his attentions to the Shore burg. Specifically, he looks at Maynard's, an old-school bar that stands amid tony restaurants and shops, a holdout from a different time. (Yes, the man who was killed in Margate drank there the night he died, and no, there was no trouble at the bar.)

In Margate, a throwback

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
