Mayor’s Update Feb 3

Dear Friends, On Tuesday, the city opened bids on a major roads and drainage project planned for the neighborhood between 26th Street and 34th Street. I’m happy to report that the totals (while slightly higher than estimated) fall within our budget. Pending City Council approval on Feb. 9, work will begin in the following weeks. This will mark the long-awaited start of the biggest flood remediation project in Ocean City history. The project will bring relief to 24 blocks at a cost of more than $6.5 million. It’s the second major drainage project for Ocean City (after the completion of work at Merion Park). While the system will not be able to prevent all flooding in the low-elevation neighborhood, a new storm drain system and four pumping stations are expected to make a substantial difference in the quality of life for residents there...

Who Has The Best Wings for Super Bowl Sunday?

Virtually every Super Bowl party has chicken wings and/ or tenders. Unless you have an old family recipe, most people do not want to risk serving lame food when entertaining. So they start asking themselves: Where should I order from? While there are many places that claim to have great wings, the reality is that most serve frozen chicken that is fried and paired with store-bought hot sauce. Not this year! OCNJ Daily did our homework and sought-out the top wings and tenders in Ocean City and Somers Point. We would like to hear your feedback. Whose wings do you like best? And tenders? Surprisingly, they might be at different restaurants. Below is a list of the restaurants, pictures of the platters that they made for us, and a little background information that may help you when it comes time to order:

Shore Medical Center Helps Ease Headache Pain with “Infusion Therapy”

“Take two aspirin and call me in the morning” was the advice doctors gave their patients years ago if they had a headache or some other ailment. Obviously, health care is far more sophisticated these days, but despite all the advances of modern medicine, it has not quite been able to conquer migraine headaches. “These patients suffer. They can’t go to work. They can’t do things at home, like taking care of the children,” Dr. Joshua Daniel, a neurologist with Shore Physicians Group in Somers Point, explained of debilitating headache pain. However, Daniel and Shore Medical Center are giving migraine sufferers some dramatic pain relief with a new treatment option called "infusion therapy."

On Eve of Super Bowl LI, Pallone & LoBiondo Again Team...

With Super Bowl LI fast approaching, Congressmen Frank A. LoBiondo (NJ-02) and Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) have reintroduced legislation to legalize sports-betting. The Congressmen called for action on their bills, arguing that legalized sports-betting will benefit New Jersey’s economy and crack down on criminal enterprises which operate off-the-book betting in the shadows. The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans will stake an estimated $4.7 billion on Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons. The AGA estimates that 97 percent of the money wagered on the Super Bowl in the U.S. will be done so illegally...
