As Canadian wildfire smoke disappeared, Mac Groce captured this
stunning
beach scene early Sunday morning. Great shot, Mac!
MARKET STATS:
The median sale price increased in Avalon last month but
decreased in Stone Harbor. The two towns usually move in
sync, but a relatively small sample size in a given month can
cause short term anomalies like this. For a detailed look
at the market, see the latest Long & Foster Market Minute
reports:

THE SMOKE HAS CLEARED! Remember
the smoky gray skies we had last week due to the Canadian
wildfires? The smoke has cleared, thanks to shifting winds
and rain showers. We're looking forward to partly sunny
skies and daytime highs in the 70s over the weekend!
EXPECT THUNDER AT NIGHT! The
New Jersey Air National Guard 177th Fighter Wing will be
conducting night flying training this week through Thursday
evening, and again next week Tuesday through Thursday evenings.
Located at Atlantic City International Airport, the fighter
wing's F-16C Fighting Falcon aircraft are often seen in the
daytime skies over Cape May County, including frequent passes
above our beaches. Keep an ear peeled for some night time
thunder as pilots conduct extra night flights this week and
next!
THE BEST THREE MINUTES on
television this week! CBS Sunday Morning ended their
Sunday broadcast with a fantastic three-minute video
highlighting scenes from the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge,
including sunrise, dunes, dolphins, egrets, and much more.
Take-a three-minute break and improve your mood for the rest of
the day!

Wildlife Refuge yourself? It's located throughout Cape May
