Go with the Crest or North Wildwood

In Reply to: Definitely want something more family oriented - LinK
I grew up in Wildwood Crest and my mother still lives there. While it might be cheaper to stay in Wildwood itself, there's a reason for that. I would definitely go with either Wildwood Crest or North Wildwood. Both are much nicer than the City of Wildwood. North Wildwood has bars and part of the boardwalk. The Crest is a dry town so no bars and it tends to be quieter.
Wildwood has the boardwalk and great water park but otherwise not much to offer, and its easy enough to get from one to the other so I would definitely recommend NOT staying in Wildwood. You'll see the difference when you get there.
Have a great time!!!

Welcome to Wildwood
Hi, I live across the channel from Wildwood Crest. If I were you I would definitely stay in the Crest. Wildwood is more city-ish if you know what I mean. The Crest is more family oriented.
Also if you like the beach, the beach in Wildwood is much wider meaning by the time you walk from the street to the water you're exhausted. The beach in the Crest is not quite as wide. The boardwalk starts from the fist street in the Crest (northern end) and proceeds north through Wildwood and into North Wildwood.
North Wildwood is also nice. The beach there isn't quite as wide either. I can recommend some good restaurants if you like. I hope you enjoy your stay!
Wildwood - Thanks
Thank you for the information. I'll keep searching and keep North Wildwood in mind too.
RE: Wildwood, New Jersey
Our family and our friends and their family are going to Wildwood this summer. A neighbor told us to stay in Wildwood Crest, but I noticed that staying in plain old Wildwood is a whole lot cheaper. For those of you who have gone or live in New Jersey, is there really such a big difference between Wildwood and Wildwood Crest. There will be nine of us and I'm trying to find a rental for the week. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
Go for the Crest.
It's worth spending a little extra. The Crest is more family oriented. Wildwood is a playground for high school and college kids. It's crowded with rowdy, rude kids.
It's interesting how each shore town takes on a personality. Most people from S. Jersey avoid Wildwood (and even the Crest) like a plague. We leave those to the Philly shoobees. We used to call Sea Isle "Havertown-by-the-Sea" because it seemed as if everyone from Havertown hung out there. But it remains one of my favorite little shore towns. Ocean City, Avalon, Townsend's Inlet were more the speed of the S. Jersey crowds, generally speaking, of course. And everything north of Margate/Ventnor was more the NYC and North Jersey crowd.
No matter what town, though, it's fun to go "downa shore". Enjoy!
Have you tried Crest for sensitive teeth?
I used it and it tastes just like regular toothpaste. May want to give it a try.
Our dentist recommends Crest Whitestrips
My dentist also recommend Crest strips
She said she could do the whitening but it would yield no better result than an OTC product. Check the website too, they may have coupons available that you can print or sign up to receive by mail. I'm finding a lot of brand name product websites do this now.
I consider it north
I consider it north just because it is not far from Ohio - just cross the bridge in Maysville and you're in Ohio, but technically it probably isn't north. . if your daughter didn't like Maysville, she wouldn't like Flemingsburg either - it is even smaller - my daughter prefers living in Florence - she thinks Flemingsburg is too small too. .
what is BBQ ? I am from the north.
and a BBQ is when we cook outside on the grill. lol. These all sound like sloppy joes or manwich to me. Never did like them though. Is this what BBQ is?
North Carolina. nm

Just north of me. The lady I had
charged me $65 every other week for 2400 sq feet minus my office cause I do it myself. I also tipped her. She spent about 3-1/2 to 4 hours here.
All other quotes I am getting from individuals are a little higher than that but I would rather pay more and get better service. Some agencies want around $130. I found one that quoted me $70 to $87 but could not get out to give me an exact estimate until a week later so I am waiting to hear back from the ladies I emailed on Craigslist to see if they can come this week.

I'm far North Texas
so that wouldn't work for me, but thanks for the info! Sounds like you got a great deal.
Very close, up a tad north of you....
My husband refuses to go further north than Tennessee. He believes he will "freeze". I, on the other hand, grew up in the south but have ALWAYS longed to live up north. I have a cousin who grew up here with me. She went to Vermont one year for some job or something, came back home, and said she was moving up there. She did and is now in her late 50's and dreads having to come back down here. She loves it too! She keeps wanting me to come visit but I would want to move even more. Now, I probably will say no to Alaska. I had a girlfriend who moved up there one week after getting married (her husband was from there). She is a southern girl and she was miserable. She would call crying, was thawing her walls out with a blow dryer. I was dying laughing and she was squawling. Twelve years later, she finally told her husband she wand the kids wer moving back south....he could come if he wanted. He did and they have been here ever since.
North/South
Doesn't matter what side we come from, we are all here for the same reason and by the same God. My grandfather used to tell me that the south did whatever they could to survive and the north had more money so they were technologically advanced and better educated. That changed a long time ago. I would say we are all pretty even now days. My husband is from Germany and lived in WI before coming here to the heart of the bible belt, and he still can't wrap his mind around sweat tea or cornbread. He says I'm eating cardboard. Just a thought..
North Carolina
I am from North Carolina. I would make sure I visited the Outer Banks and Kitty Hawk. If it was the right time of the year, I would see "The Lost Colony". I just love Hatteras and the lighthouse. North Carolina has some very interesting and beautiful places to see. Also, the Biltmore House in Asheville is very nice, and has beautiful gardens. North Carolina is a wonderful state. Oh, I almost forgot -- the beautiful mountains -- Cherokee, Maggie Valley. Too much to mention.
As far as I know career = north
Here's a website that gives some office tips (hope the link works)

North Carolina??
My husband and I are considering a move to N.C. Does anyone live in the Cary area? If so, how do you like this area? Could you tell me about the community there. Thanks
we had 1 channel when we were north
and it was great. We only had an antenna. Got used to just those shows that came on and if I didn't like something on TV I read or did something else.
For some reason I enjoyed TV much better when I didn't have so much to choose from. Now it's all garbage.
I hate TV but do find I keep it on for noise.
All I say is GO FOR IT. My sister says she wishes she cut the TV off more with their son. Now he's hooked, but their daughter has very little interest in TV. She reads and plays and does other stuff.
We live in North Texas
and have been here our whole lives. Have visited both CC and Galveston a lot of times. We're thinking of moving closer to one of them, maybe on outskirts somewhere, but are just wondering pricing for homes or even just land to build on. Any idea if is it way high because of beaches?
No snow for me in North Alabama - sm
I am halfway between Birmingham, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee. The snow completely missed us. I wanted snow for my children, but since it missed us, I am so praying that your babies get to see snow. Please let us know.
I'm in north MS, I saw a bag of fried peanuts in...
still in the shell at a convenience store yesterday!
I grew up in IL and many of the foods I grew up eating are the same here.
You guessed right! Raised in the North and will die in the south!!

A few inches of VERY wet snow for us just north of Montgomery, AL -nm

Supper here north of Kansas City, MO
Stuffed green peppers (spanish rice/burger mixture topped with shredded cheese) and a romaine lettuce salad. Apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
North Dakota. :D Freeze in winter/fry in summer ;)
Well, this is our coldest period right now. But having it -30 to -60 with the windchills certainly isn't any surprise. In summer we can be in the 80s and 90s with very high humidity. LOL! We always say, if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute.
Lower NY state north of NYC, getting hit with sleet and ice! Few inches of it now. :( nm
