Brett,
If you look at the crowd at the yacht club on Friday night there were quite a few kids there with nothing to do. Some of them were breaking rocks on the retaining wall others just sitting with their parents begging to go home. I hear the food truck might not pass. How about we take that money and build a playground for the families with children and grandchildren that want to come to the yacht club. I am sure we can find space on that huge patio to house it and we have free labor. Just look at all the planter boxes our public works department(or was it the maintenance dept.) built for the yacht club. Hard to tell, I have never seen those numbers in the Yacht Club final costs. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you and we could figure out were to put it, I have a couple of ideas and prices! Tom J. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Steve, You make the comment about playground equipment at the YC as a joke, but in all honesty, it is a fairly bright idea and would be a very positive change, provided such a resource was only available for use by paying customers. Look at every restaurant in Ocean City that caters to families, and they are carrying hour or longer waits throughout the entire busy season, and still hold strong in the off season. Fish tales just rebuilt their playground, Marina Deck added a huge indoor playground in the off season, and the playground is the one of the marketing tools of the new Parched Pelican on 123rd. A family looking to dine with children will favor a restaurant with playground or something to entertain kids, even if there is a wait, over a restaurant with nothing for the kids. Among the many misses of the new yacht club design is the fact that there are actual families in Ocean Pines, and that families do actually go out to dinner. Brett |
