Boy, that got quiet. Tumbleweed Tuesday had come and gone, and one week after Labor Day Saturday – with temps still in the 80s, the ocean as warm as it gets, with abundant sunshine – the beaches and streets looked like November. You could look east and west and see maybe one person walking and a few cars trickling along the Boulevard. There were no whizzing e-bikes and barely any cars parked in the street.

The exception, of course, was Beach Haven, which has been buzzing every single day since Memorial Day.
