YOURS AT THE JERSEY SHORE
etter known as “The Theme from Cheers,” “Where Everybody
Knows Your Name” is an apt description of shore towns Ventnor
and Margate.

When you walk on the beach, you’re likely to run into a fellow
teammate from your JCC league basketball team.

Standing in line for Sunday bagels, you might find yourself next
to that high school classmate you haven’t seen in 50 years.

Or power walking down the boardwalk could be that one-time
regular in your mah jongg game who moved away 20 years ago but
is back visiting her children and grandchildren.

Maybe the restaurants and other businesses come and go (al-
though a lot of them are there each year), but there’s a familiarity
that makes the two towns so appealing.

That’s why Lucy the Elephant is such a perfect symbol for Margate
and, by extension, its twin sister Ventnor. She represents tradition.

There’s an old saying that elephants never forget and, while Lucy
never says much, she serves as a form of institutional memory. In
addition, she’s that common experience everyone’s had.

Wait, you’ve never visited Lucy? Well, pony up the $8 per person
($4 for kids 3-12) and visit the old gal, who turns 135 this year.

In another sense, Margate and Ventnor share what Philadelphia and
all popular real estate share in spades — location, location, location.

One of Philadelphia’s selling points is its proximity to New York
City, Boston, Baltimore and Washington,
D.C., not to mention the Jersey shore, the
Chesapeake, the Poconos and Pennsylvania
Dutch country.

Meantime, in Margate and Ventnor,
you’re minutes from the Atlantic City casi-
nos and the family-friendly Ocean City
boardwalk. And it’s a reasonable drive to the
more honky-tonk Wildwood boardwalk,
the serenity of Cape May or any other shore
town that sparks your fancy. l

Poland Poland has long been associated with something known as “dark
tourism,” that is, travel associated with tragedy and suffering. The
prevalence of Holocaust history has, in fact, become part of the
country’s appeal: Last year, the number of visitors to Auschwitz grew
by 40 percent.

But a summer trip to Poland can offer just as much light as dark.

First of all, with notably longer days and lovely, mild temperatures,
summer in Warsaw and Krakow is pleasantly relaxing.

And there’s so much going on in both cities: In addition to the
innumerable museums and cultural centers, both cities host street
festivals, outdoor concerts and uniquely funky activities like the
VW Beetle rally in Krakow in July.

Of course, there are many monuments, memorials and synagogues
that represent Poland’s Jewish heritage. Gil Travel’s scholar-led trip
to Poland — which brings a professor along to contextualize the his-
tory — is sold out, but there are other Jewish heritage tours on offer,
or you can simply arrange an edifying itinerary yourself. l
