West Wildwood

To the person who wants to bring back Dance Party USA to Wildwood: Consider moving it to the stage at Diamond Point in West Wildowod. Before the name was officially changed to Diamond Point, it was known as The West End Wharf where many of the Oyster fleet sailed from. Dick Clark hosted an early version of Band Stand there on the original stage. It was not video recorded but I think one of the island old timers has a super 8 film recording of some of it. Clark then moved it to Philly for the indoor production. I think there is still a B &W photo at Borough Hall.
