    Ocean City Maryland will be in my mind forever. The Boardwalk hot in the summer sun burning your feet. Thrasher's French Fries. The asphalt and garbage smell in the morning. The long beaches. The Arcades. Ripley's. The smell of the salty air. The feeling of time stopping for the week of vacation you are there. Spending the days getting sunburned, then getting dressed up to go out to eat at a fancy Seafood restaurant. The knowing that the place will go quiet and dormant through fall, winter, spring, until people return to bring it back to life in the summer. It will always be a special place for me.

    I lived there from 1973 to 1995. I went to high school there. I feel like it was a great moment in time to be there. I visited it about 10 years ago, and it wasn't the same. Its kind of gone downhill a bit. What a shame. I prefer the OBX theses days.

    I grew up in Bethesda and we used to go to OC almost every summer. I moved to Illinois in 1973 and the last time in was in OC was in 1998 with my late wife. It was always one of my favorite places but it's probably too crowded these days.

    WoW! 8,000,000 people. I didn't guess nowhere near that many. I started taking my family to OC since 1999. Now all grown and gone, the wife and I still enjoy going (me more than she). I love you guys' videos. I smile the entire time while watching. Didn't come down last year but will definitely be making an appearance this year. The boardwalk looks so much fun. We usually stay in the higher numbered streets with no BW. Tends to be a little quieter. But this year I think we should stay where the action, stores and food are. And you are right, I can't walk by an arcade without going in. And I like the souvenir stores. I always find something I like. Thanks again.

      We have been going down to OC twice a year since 1999. A week in the summer and usually Thanksgiving week since my wife got too sick to cook. Everybody should try to attend the outstanding Winter Fest from middle of November until New Year's night in the giant North Park. Tram car drives you around the park to see the 750,000 light bulbs that make up Christmas decorations up to 30' high. So many great restaurants to eat at. They only charge $6 for Winter Fest and talking to one of the workers they probably don't even break even for all of the time it takes to set decorations up ( maybe a full month ! ).

      Love your enthusiasm, like Along for the Journey's. Staying closer to the BW means maybe not having to drive down at night and dealing with that. But I remember the ol Baltimore Orioles ballpark, when we parked on a field and had to wait for the other fans to move their car; sometimes it took a long time. All part of a fun experience!

    if you're looking for a great pizza, with a big slice, in ocean city, you MUST go to Ripeanos. it's nothing like the other pizza places there. it's behind McDonald's on 33rd street. they have great pizza... huge pies and huge slices, as big as a box, with a large variety of available toppings. great Italian side dishes, also! but if your stuck on the boardwalk, Franco's is the best.
