| Cape May Stage in Cape May, N.J.: Home of my play, AMERICA'S SEXIEST COUPLE. When you look at the theatre in just the right light it almost resembles a church. Or is it just me? |
 |
| I don't usually take pictures of food, but -- $35. In LA the same dinner is $75. And you don't get applesauce. |
 |
| I was kinda hoping they'd join the "Sea Level Club." |
 |
| Line for Tommy's hot dog stand. Where's Joey Chestnut? |
 |
| Kind of unusual. Not many places take cash these days. |
 |
| Lovely Victorian homes grace Cape May. Pretty classy for a beach resort. |
 |
| Why do I kill myself writing original jokes? |
 |
| Notice they advertise everything but pizza. |
 |
| Police activity right under our window at 4 am one morning. |
 |
| You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a miniature golf course. |
 |
| Cast, director, and some guy. |
 |
| Bill Tatum & Karen Ziemba starring in my play. This is a scene from the play. I didn't go into their home. |

| You see as many of these as Tesla's. |
Nowhere do you mention that Cape May is in New Jersey. I had to hunt for that information.

DeleteIt’s possible that building may have been a church. If the congregation dwindles as an area’s population changes, then it may be necessary to close. The building is a space designed for a listening audience, so it’s a natural transition. One of the performance venues near where I live is a repurposed church, and has featured people like Rickie Lee Jones, who won’t sell out an arena but still has fans.
ReplyDeleteYou ever go to Hot Dog Tommy’s when Tommy still owned it? He was quite the character.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were living briefly in the Northeast, Laura and I took a driving trip weekend to Atlantic City. We found it so depressing that we left after half a day and drove on to Cape May, which we loved, even though it was a cold, dreary and extremely windy day when most places were closed. Having restored and lived in a 1909 house in Waxahachie, Texas, and a 1913 home in Dallas, we'd love to go back to Cape May in the spring or summer and see some of those great old Painted Lady houses up close and from the inside.
ReplyDeleteWas there a Krispy Kreme under your window?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: It is indeed a former church, built in 1853 and home to a few different denominations through the years.
ReplyDeleteJoey Chestnut was inhaling mini-doughnuts in the only Canadian city that rhymes with fun last weekend. https://www.sasktoday.ca/south/local-news/joey-chestnut-downs-the-donuts-at-the-ex-5666228
ReplyDeleteIn the lobster photo, are you writing a play dealing with Grant Tinker?

How large is your retinue when you travel?
ReplyDeleteHot Dog Tommy's... which, I take it, is not to be confused with the hot dogs sold at Original Tommy's at Rampart & Beverly (a venue better known for chiliburgers).

ReplyDeleteIn case you're not kidding Cape May Stage was most definitely a church until ca. 1956. In New Jersey it is not uncommon to repurpose unique buildings into theatres. An example from North Jersey is the Pax Amicus Theatre in Budd Lake. It has been operating in a former church since 1970, and the building is shaped like a castle. It is VERY popular for school field trips.
My wife and I both love Cape May. She purchased her wedding dress in a bridal shop in a Victorian house there.
ReplyDeleteOh hey, I've been on vacation in Cape May a few times. What a lovely, lovely town that was a Victorian-era beach resort back in the day. Southern New Jersey is under rated for how beautiful it is. And you can take a whale-watching boat tour!
ReplyDelete*Also, I know EXACTLY where that particular putt-putt course is off the beach. And Ken's not kidding, there are like 5 in that stretch there. This one's by the bike rental; if you're staying a few days in Cape May I absolutely recommend renting a bike and riding around. It's a very bikeable town.
Lovely City! Lovely City! But how was the show?!
ReplyDeleteI've lived within 2 hours of Cape May all my life and have never been there. That's going to change next month. The weather will still be nice and the crowds will have disappeared.
ReplyDeleteMust be an LA thing. Very few places here in Metro NYC will refuse your cash.
