while visiting heather & mike this weekend in ocean grove, nj ... i was charmed with the cute little town and especially so by the tent city.
ocean grove was established after the cival war as a methodist revival camp, the tent city attracted 10,000 summer vistors. 114 tents remain that house families in the summer. having a tent is apparently a very big deal too ... there is said to be a 30 year waiting list for one of your own but often they are bequeathed by will.
the tents were all carefully decorated both in and out (the screen doors allowed for perfect peeping!). what a neat little summertime village!!
