The Tides Have Finally Turned!

FINALLY!

LBI is getting the positive news it needs and deserves. In the wake of the new commercial promoting LBI two news stations visited LBI and gave fantastic coverage on the 5 and 6 o’clock news.

Action News 6 promoted LBI on the 5 o’clock news, which I unfortunately missed live since I was driving home from work. They showcased our main problem: people lumping us in with northern shore towns that were more heavily damaged. Visitors were happily surprised at how LBI looked compared to what they had heard. Be sure to watch the newscast if you missed it like me and don’t miss minute 1:26! Article and video here.

CBS 3‘s newscast also interviewed happily surprised visitors who were spending time on the beach. They also touch on the secondary issue of slow insurance and FEMA headaches. Don’t miss minute 1:13 in the video and make sure to click the “play button” IN the video not the button in the lower left (if you click that the commercials keep playing over and over). Article and video here.

Help get the word out, reach out to news personnel you know, wear your LBI is Alive apparel and be a billboard for us (don’t have some, click here)!

We visited LBI last week and it was absolutely beautiful. The beaches look better than ever. We visited our favorite local shops that were restocking new, exciting inventory. And we were thrilled to have to wait in line for an hour at Chegg…food was awesome and the island was buzzing!!

Thank you! But unfortunately, we do not have any more. They were given to businesses for free and we ran out in February. It is great to hear that you are rebuilding your summer home. LBI is Alive!

We’ve booked a week in August at a lovely oceanfront home in Holgate and cannot wait to return to our family’s favorite beach community! We love LBI!
