WILDWOOD, N.J. - The
Lollipop and the StarLux. The Shalimar and the Caribbean.
The Imperial 500 and the Tangiers.
With garish neon signs, multicolored exteriors and sweeping deck overhangs,
the "Doo Wop" motels of the Wildwoods are the architectural
equivalents of a Vitalis-slicked pompadour.
They, too, are fading into the past.
One by one, the mom-and-pop motels are being razed, rendered economically
obsolete by a real estate boom that has made the land underneath too
valuable to support a couple of dozen $100-a-night rooms.
"It's hard," said Daytona Motor Inn owner John Donio, who has
been offered five times what he paid for his 20-unit motel, two blocks from
the beach. "I want to stay, I really do."
More than 50 of the motels have been demolished in the past three years,
giving way to pricey condominiums with none of the charm - or history.
"Without a concerted attempt to halt demolition, these colorful
vestiges of American life will go the way of the ducktail haircut, the '57
Chevy and the drive-in double feature," said Richard Moe, executive
director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "Instead of
being demolished to make way for nondescript new development, the Doo Wop
motels should be preserved as the focus of an all-season resort and a
vibrant, livable community for year-round residents."
The trust, based in Washington, D.C., included the motels collectively on its list of
the 11 most endangered historic places in America.
More symbolic than anything else, the distinction is aimed at raising
public awareness about the plight of the sites.
Built in the 1950s and 1960s and dubbed "Doo Wop" after the vocal
style of the period, the motels sprung up next to the ocean in Wildwood,
North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest, catering to a booming postwar America
that wanted vacation places with outdoor pools, parking spaces and easy
ocean access.

Tip #18
Home Selling Tip, Targeting Out Of State:
When you sell your home you sometimes have to put yourself in the
potential buyers’ shoes. In New Jersey many home buyers are from the
surrounding area, like New York or Pennsylvania.
Knowing this can allow your agent to
market your house more effectively.
If he/she will advertise in a New York publication they can describe
the proximity to NY. This allows
your potential Buyer Base to expand.
