This past year has tested us. Many of us have had to completely rebuild our homes and businesses. We are exhausted, and summer is very much on our minds. We all need to bask in the sun and bathe in salt water. So many people have been affected by the storm. My heart goes out to you of all. I wish to thank all of our advertisers. You are LIVINGLBI. Together, we build a stronger island.

Seaside Heights
The rides are gone for now, but they should all be replaced by next summer. I was lucky enough to snap this photo of the Ferris wheel the final day before it was removed. I hadn’t been to Seaside for years, so seeing this landmark one last time was an amazing experience. For a moment, I was a teenager again.
Seeing so much damage even six months after the storm, still hurts. The amusement piers are damaged but the boardwalk should be fixed by summer.
