Intro
"Ocean City.....Ocean City....Ocean City....." Each sentence shouldn't start with the title of the article, it gets repetitive. Before trying to replace O.C. with "it", try restructuring the sentence.DMCer 15:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Noted Residents
"Nicholas Tropiano, President of Tropiano Transportation, owns a home on the beach on the south end of the island." If every business owner that owns a house somewhere had an entry on that towns wikipedia page we would all be so enlightened. Who cares about this guy and why does he get the same ranking as truly notable people that are known to all.

Shouldn't Slobber Bob be included under noted residents, or do you think he deserves a full section himself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.201.77.121 (talk) 17:09, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Russians
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why Ocean City has so many young people with Russian and Eastern European accents? Almost every waitress, maid, and cashier I encountered seemed to be Russian, a phenomenon I have not seen in other resort towns. (Er, I'm not complaining...the women were really hot!) :) 70.20.133.200 03:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Kudos to that- they are pretty darn hot :) Waitresses all over South Jersey have strange accents though, not just Ocean City. -User Whatever-My-Number-IS —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.205.216 (talk) 02:55, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

RFID
Someone might want to incorporate mention of (or at least keep an eye on) the current proposal to issue an RFID bracelet to everyone who uses the beach. There's a July 25, 2007 AP story about this, probably many places online but here it is on KOMO-TV's site. - Jmabel | Talk 05:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * As a resident, I strongly disagree for its inclusion. It is only an idea right now. There is not even a proposal, and the entire system is contingent on the city maintaining its wireless internet access, which has not even been started yet. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 12:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't get it. You can't use a scanner to locate people who don't have a tag. &#8212;Largo Plazo 03:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

NJ license plate #1, "Mayor" plate?
In Ocean City today I saw an SUV with New Jersey tag number "1", which you'd think would belong to the governor, but underneath the tag number it said "Mayor". It had funny letters in the corners: Z in both upper and lower left corners, and, I think, L and D, respectively, in the upper and lower right corners. Does this belong to Ocean City's mayor? Why does a mayor get NJ tag #1? &mdash;Largo Plazo 03:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

The license plate was given to former mayor Henry "Bud" Knight, who left office in 2006. 69.136.79.201 (talk) 03:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Geography
Ocean City connects to Egg Harbor Township via the Ocean City-Longport Bridge? I don't know about that. bobbyghanouj (talk) 01:48, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Merging Ocean City Boardwalk
The Ocean City Boardwalk does not need a separate article and can easily be discussed in the main Ocean City article. In addition, the business directory needs to be trimmed per WP:NOTDIRECTORY.  Dough 48  72  02:52, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. Merge it. TiMike (talk) 18:44, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

The “Boardwalk” section gives mainly a historic background of the boardwalk, instead of relevant information detailing what the boardwalk is like today. Since the boardwalk is one of the most famous parts of Ocean City, New Jersey, it seems as though there should be more information about the culture of the boardwalk, rather than just a history of when it was built. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.252.102.217 (talk) 17:50, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
