SUPERSTORM SANDY

© 2013 Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP2

“As devastated areas of the Jersey Shore are rebuilt in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, a range of factors will drive the decisions about what and how to rebuild: economics, politics, meteorology and geology.

But for better or for worse, one factor is bound to trump them all — emotion.

Few places in the United States conjure up such strong feelings as the Jersey Shore. Rich folk feel it. Poor folk feel it. Locals feel it. Bennies feel it. Visitors from all over the world feel it. You could fill an iPod with songs written about the place.

That indelible appeal lies in the nature of the Shore itself: a long strip of towns, each with its own quirks, culture and appeal, each creating generations of stories and memories anchored to specific places.”

-Brian Donohue, Sunday Star-LedgerJanuary 27, 2013

“But the key is balance. Let’s not get too rational here. This is the Shore we’re talking about, a place where we gladly spend $50 to win our kids a 50-cent stuffed animal on the boardwalk and consider it money well spent, dammit. And you know what? It is.”
