Ocean City Summer of 2011

Hello readers, Bobby here with updates from Ocean City, MD.

Well after a rough start things have started to level off here in Ocean City. The city has claimed that we are having one of the best seasons in history, but from personal experience, as well as having the opportunity to know many local business owners on a personal level, I am here to tell you this is NOT THE CASE.

Times are tough for everyone right now. We have been in this recession now for a couple years, and I think it has really started to take a toll on people. There is a lot of cost involved in vacationing and people just don't have the money to do it anymore like they used to.

Hopefully times will get better in the next couple of years for everyone. My wife and I are going to move to Florida this winter, where we will be moving our business' as well. Times are tough in Florida right now, and from my understanding a lot of the older "snow birds" have decided to move back north and make the northern end of the country their permanent location. The cost of maintaining both properties has become too much burden. The majority of people are underwater in their house notes, and hopefully we can make a turn-around sometime in the near future.
