To the Editor:

As the extended number of visitors and homeowners have come to our strip of sand – LBI – it has come to my attention that many things are not like they used to be. Everything is bigger, faster, louder and, unfortunately, dirtier, more malicious and basic.

I’ll try not to go on some mindless, endless rant on the state of our nation, politics, pandemic, economy, racial divide, and the endless negativity that has a stranglehold in our once fun-filled beach resort and nation in general.
