About Travel & Places

When the afternoon heat softens into evening, the boardwalk comes alive — neon signs flicker on, the carousel organ pipes up, and the smell of popcorn and salt air drifts down the planks. Families trade crumpled tokens for another turn at the arcade, eyes on the prize shelf lined with stuffed animals and novelty toys. The Ferris wheel climbs high enough that, at the top, you can see the whole glittering midway below and the dark ocean stretching out beyond it.
