Anyone else hear about this? Major bummer. No word from other big shore spots yet, but I have heard a few spots are planning to open if allowed.

Yes heard about this a few days ago. I would have thought they would try to get a half season in if possible but don't see how we're not going to be wearing masks even into the summer. I do think there could be a window though where with the humidity and such it won't spread as easy even though it will still be around. So all in all we have no idea what this will look like in a few months so surprised they announced so early but not like they can't change their mind.
The Nerds at The Osprey. Many forgotten nights in the 80s and 90s. And that late night pizza place around the corner.

Can you imagine the line to get into Leggetts if they open back up this summer?Anyone else hear about this? Major bummer. No word from other big shore spots yet, but I have heard a few spots are planning to open if allowed.

Now that is strange. Because Jackson just OK'd and the state approved for a popup drive in the town. Basically he sets up the screen and projector in a field then you tune into a certain station and Wala drive in movie and it's cheap since you bring your own drinks and food.Can someone explain to me why the Delsea Drive-In, the only Drive-In left in the state, is not being allowed to open ?
That is ticking off the Delsea owners even more. Article on nj.com.Now that is strange. Because Jackson just OK'd and the state approved for a popup drive in the town.

I recall the Nerds playing at Zetamania ~1988-89. Zeta Psi would cover their entire parking lot with sand and have a blowout. Is my memory any good?
Gee Gee’s?The Nerds at The Osprey. Many forgotten nights in the 80s and 90s. And that late night pizza place around the corner.
Worked there the summer of 1984. Day shift. The night crew had a very different experience.Gee Gee’s?
I was just talking about this with someone.
They, most likely got government money and my guess is the economics work out that they make more money closed vs. open. Just a guess here.
Other scenario is that they are using this as a opportunity to update the place.
Gee Gee’s?
And before The Nerds, 'Salvation' was the house band at the Osprey in the 70s and early 80s. Leggetts would get the overflow.. A great shore town.
Friend of mine was a night manager at Gee Gee's.
You don't want to know....
Used to work my guys hard and the single ones would complain that they had no time to meet girls. So I made up an idea. Told they to go to Parker House in Sea Girt, dress nice casual, no jeans/shorts/t's; Nice golf shirt, regular pants, shaved. Go upstairs and buy a bottle of decent Champaign with a $ 100 bill and tell the bartender to put another one on ice. Use another $ 100 for that bottle.
"What do I do next ?", they would ask.
"Nothing, they will come like moths."
It actually worked and I know 2 guys that married girls using that bs that I made up...
One of my Nieces lived in Manhattan, couldn't meet nice guys, she was a buyer for Saks. Told her to get a house out on Hampton's. Next fall she and 2 of her friends from Saks that shared the house were engaged !
With Chuck Wepner in the white panama hat in his usual spot right in front of the bandstand.
If you want some memories, here ya go....
Heard a rumor this AM that bars will not be operate in town (so Leggetts/Salty Whale as restaurant only) and all gatherings limited to 10 people...any word on this?
"Drunk and Stupid is not a good way to go thru life !"
The Bayonne Bleeder would go around with Art Stock and drink for nothing at all of Art's 'clubs' back in the day. Nice guy and would put up with the drunks that wanted to shadow box with him.
In New Orleans for a Super Bowl, one of the guys with me had a few too many local cocktails. Sees Eric Dickerson behind a celebrity rope. Ducks under the rope and tackles Eric ! Much to do with the bouncers, Eric was THE MAN in the NFL that year.
"Man what are you doing ?", Eric D.
" I just wanted to see what it felt like to tackle an All Pro !", Alan Clayton.
"Man, you crazy, you hang with me !", Eric D.
Away Alan went....of the Manasquan Clayton's....(lot's of them..) He later married a girl he met at The Parker House, very nice girl.
Any late night single love to mingle type bar at the Jersey Shore was/is a place where you will cringe if you get there during daylight.
You aren't there for the ambiance...
Jimmy Byrne's Sea Girt; Anyone old enough to remember hitting that place ? Literally would shake like a 3.0 on the Richter scale. First room on the left, The Bamboo Room, literally the NJSP never bought a drink there. A $ 20 tip as you left was the cost of the night. (other than a massive headache the next morning, and driving with the oxygen mask/tank on the seat next to you.)
Let's go to our Osprey Bar correspondent knightfan7 on First Avenue in Manasquan.... knightfan7, what's the story down there?
70th Anniversary article dated 2016. Did not know Bruce Springsteen had his first legal drink at The Osprey:

I was at JB’s Sea Girt Inn one July 4th. Used the bathroom downstairs and looked up and the floor had to be moving 6 inches. I just don’t know how it didn’t cave-in.
Memories of Salvation . Wasn’t Chuckie the lead singer?
I bartended at the Royal Manor (North Brunswick) for several years. That entitled me to drink for free at most of the short clubs. Of course, some huge tips left behind. Some crazy years
What about Bar Anticipation?!
I can't remember ever going to the Osprey, Leggett's, Gee Gee's afterward, or the Parker House on Sunday afternoon while ever having the goal to get married. :)Friend of mine was a night manager at Gee Gee's.

You are correct! I was there, invited by one of the brothers! That was a great great party!!!!I recall the Nerds playing at Zetamania ~1988-89. Zeta Psi would cover their entire parking lot with sand and have a blowout. Is my memory any good?
