Terry McGean, the City Engineer for the Town of Ocean City, gives us the inside scoop on the first phase of the Ocean City boardwalk project that finished up this week. Just in time for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure!
The project finished 2 weeks ahead of schedule and under budget, which is always nice! The new boardwalk is a huge improvement. For updates check the Town on Ocean City’s Boardwalk Reconstruction Page.

Calling all baby sitters, we have a job for you! Five “OC Mammas” are going to be dusting off their running shoes to join together in participation of the FIRST ever 2012 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Ocean City, MD. Together these local Mom's are looking to raise $2,000 for their team goal! Decked out in their matching team shirts they will be walking in honor of many special people.
The goal is not only to raise the $2,000. They also are looking to celebrate the lives of breast cancer survivors they know, as well as honor the lives of loved ones that lost the fight to breast cancer. Needless to say, this event holds a spot very close to their hearts and many others who will be joining OC Mammas, so get these girls a baby sitter because it's on!
Are you looking to join the “OC Mammas”? Grab some friends and read on:
The 5k run/walk and 1 mile run/walk both start on the Ocean City Boardwalk, just north of Wicomico Street then loop around and end at the Ocean City Inlet.
Walk up registration will take place in the lobby of the Ocean City Convention Center beginning on and running through . Times will be announced once they have been finalized.
Of all the money raised in the Race for the Cure, 75% stays in Maryland to fund local programs for women and families. The remaining 25% of funding supports national research. - source

There's nothing like the smell of fresh salt air. But mix in the scents of some newly laid boards and it only gets better.
The Ocean City boardwalk project is a 2 year project but the south end is already looking great. The North end is getting there too, but they still have a few streets to go.
This blog was created to celebrate the good times and good people that visit, live in and love Ocean City, Maryland.
