My dad built a house in the 50’s and we use to go down on the beach and tell everyone the ice cream man was here I was about 14.
We had the pier to play pinball n arcade game then came the Brigantine castle.They were the good days
I remember the trampoline’s. I love Brigantine but I find it should be more about children so they can have some of the happy memories I had.
Life was so simple then. It is good for retirement also my parents retired and passed away there.
