OCEAN CITY — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wrote to Mayor Jay Gillian last week, trying to cajole him into stopping the city’s annual Miss Crustacean Beauty Pageant and hermit crab races.

LONGPORT — While fantastic in its own right, the home at 1705 Beach Terrace in Longport is but a side note to the true selling points — the view of and proximity to the beach and ocean just on the other side of the protective dunes. Built in 2004, the home features five bedrooms, six full […]

By TONY CHERBY/For the Sentinel BUENA VISTA — Last week in the writeup for the Ocean City Tuesday Senior Golf League, I bemoaned how tough it is to putt for dough on fast, dried out greens.

We can’t say that we’re always on the same page as PETA — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — but the organization may be onto something with the Miss Crustacean Hermit Crab Beauty Pageant and races. Each year as part of the silly events Ocean City promotes for residents and visitors alike, the […]
I was in a rotten mood because I missed a 3-year-old’s tea party. My granddaughter Dove’s birthday coincides with Juneteenth. Her mom had a tea party for her, inviting her cousin Rya, who is almost 3, Rya’s mom, Dove’s grandmothers (including my wife), a great-grandmother and a few select friends. I didn’t make the cut […]
