Description
Back in the early 1900's, summertime's in Philadelphia were stifling. The only escape was to get on a train and go to the Jersey shore. You would take a trolley car to the foot of Market Street and take the ferry to Camden. Then you'd take the Atlantic City Flyer to AC which took 50 minutes. My late parents who were kids at that time often shared their memories of renting a bathing suit for .25 cents at a bathhouse. Walk the Boardwalk. Eat fried chicken and oysters. Cotten candy and corn on the cob. Plunge into the surf. And come home exhausted but happy. The train cost $1.00 roundtrip. There were no bridges across the Delaware until 1925.

Your drawings Ira, are wonderful. I like how well exposed architecture and mechanics are. You have a privileged hand and I congratulate you for your good work.
