MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
From Mayor Leonard Desiderio:
On Saturday, it was my pleasure to lead Sea Isle City's first ever large-scale Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony, which included nearly 80 couples. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we had to move the event from Excursion Park to the gymnasium of the former public school on Park Road - but the weather and location change did not dampen anyone's spirits. The couples who joined us to renew their wedding vows ranged from newlyweds who were married in 2017 to pairs who were celebrating their 50th, 60th and 65thwedding anniversaries, and it was great to see so many smiling faces and everyone having a great time! <<

SPOTLIGHT ON HISTORY
|
This Is Where It All Began...
When Charles Kline Landis bought the land for Sea Isle in 1880 he was 47 years old. He had already been a lawyer, a wily entrepreneur, a real estate speculator, a community builder, a science-fiction writer, and perhaps even an insane murderer - by his own admission.
Landis was born in Philadelphia in 1833. When he was just 15, he began to study law. Four years later he opened his own law office. Then he discovered real estate. >>READ MORE<<
