Some video of the beach replenishment! A slurry of sand is pumped into the beach. The water returns to the ocean and the sand is left to be moved around by the bulldozers.

Vanishing Ocean City With Bunk Mann

The New Avelon was pieced together by its owner, Josephine Hastings, by combining cottages on either side of her boarding house in the early 1900s. Located on the west side of Baltimore Avenue between N. Division Street and N. 1st Street, it was considered on the most northern side of Ocean City at the time.
Later known as the Delmarva Hotel, it operated on the American Plan into the 1960s and was well regarded for its dining room and its long shady porch. Having the advantage of being one of the closest hotels to the Route 50 Bridge entryway into Ocean City following World War II, the Delmarva Hotel would usually have a “no vacancy” sign displayed in July and August.
In later years it took back part of its original name and was known as the Avelon Inn. Demolished in 2008, it is now the site of the Gateway Hotel.

Crazy afternoon on the Rt 90 bridge! Great job by OC Fire and Rescue and surrounding mutual aid departments. Also, to the hero who jumped off the bridge to save the infant who was ejected into the bay
