There is a Home Depot on the adjacent property, which used to be a golf course. I imagine that most of the ramshackle motels on the Pike will be gone soon. Many of them have been closed and deteriorating for years.

There used to be a restaurant called Zaberer’s, out on the Black Horse Pike, that would loan you a suit jacket if you didn’t bring one to wear. The days when people would dress up to eat out or walk on the boardwalk are long gone.

Architect was Henry Minton.
Absolutely right. I failed to notice that the 81 opened in 1946. My mistake.
You may also recall the restaurant across the street from the McKee City Zaberer’s. It was called Charlie Pumpernickel’s. Also gone now.

The Harnett site was working yesterday. I put it in as a related site, but I guess the editor couldn’t get it to load either and left it out.

I met John Waters in 1983 after a screening of “Pink Flamingos”. That was at the TLA Theater in Philadelphia. He’s an interesting guy.
