Daily News | 🌬️Time for real talk about wind | Down the Shore
I remember taking my family on our first beach vacation. We’re from Philadelphia, so we could have chosen any of the beach towns at the shore. We chose Ocean City. I can’t say I wasn’t a bit leery, because as a youngster growing up I had only been to Atlantic City. This was the seventies, and Black people were not always treated well there. But, I’m glad we came to Ocean City. My wife and I had young children, and I didn’t want them to experience what I had as a youngster.
Well, we went up and down the town, visited as many attractions and restaurants as we could squeeze in for seven days. We felt welcomed and seen and respected the entire time we were there. My children are adults now, and live on both coasts, but we still come to Ocean City every summerAs an African American family, we’ve been going to Ocean City for well over 20 years and really only ever had one issue. A group of teenagers called us a racial slur while riding past us.
