Wildwood was back to its lively self on Monday after a weekend power outage kept the Jersey shore town in the dark.
"Lights were all out," said Kim Capone-Leo of Hamilton Square, N.J. "All of the stands were shut down. All the vendors were standing in the front, like, guarding their wares so no one would run in and grab anything and run I guess."For people just arriving on vacation, Friday evening was chaotic.
"It was hotter inside. It kind of sucked checking in," said Tim Clark of Swedesboro, N.J., who was just beginning a week of vacation with his family."She was like, everybody here - the power's out. And I was like, 'We gotta go home! We're not from here!"While some guests left, they tried to make the best of it by bringing in a DJ and powering up the outside bar.
"We had people out there dancing. We had string lights run around the bar when it got a little bit darker so people could still see. The bar was pretty busy all things considered," said general manager Michael Lerro. While the Bolero had power back for most of Saturday, a transformer blew outside the hotel Saturday night, knocking out power yet again for a few hours.
