North Wildwood - Sadness, disappointment, frustration, helplessness, and anger - our sentiments about the political ploy orchestrated by the current North Wildwood mayor and council in respect to the cherished Hereford Inlet Lighthouse. They started their takeover and now, the years of tradition of the Fresnel lens is gone. A blinking beacon has replaced it. Why? I’m sure we’ll hear the usual rhetoric, but the obvious reality is the light is now a nuisance. It is bothering the "McMansions" that are newly surrounding the north-end icon. And, it was done off-season.

Moderator's Note: 
According to a city release, the rotating beacon in the tower of the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse in North Wildwood malfunctioned at 11:43 p.m, May 11. U.S. Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team found that the rotating motor, the type of which has not been manufactured since 1986, was beyond reasonable repair and a flashing LED lamp was installed in the tower.
