Pure Stoke
At 22 years old, while serving our country in Vietnam, Michael Ricci was seriously wounded by a homemade grenade. He spent several months in an induced coma, followed by extensive rehabilitation. He returned from service in a state of emotional devastation and with shrapnel permanently embedded throughout his body.
Artists on Main Street
A lot of the printed merch you’ll find in the boutiques, pizzerias, and candy shops that make up the “main streets” in our area was printed by Rad Shirts Custom Printing. You may have driven by their workshop on Route 71 in Manasquan a thousand times and never noticed it, but you’ve certainly seen their work, whether it’s on the little groms (CHECK THIS) of Summertime Surf School and Pink Pineapple Surf & Skate, the ladies who love Waterlily, or the devotees of Jean Louise Candies.
Main Street Goes Green
Early March in Belmar brings a familiar sight with a long line of green jackets moving down Main Street, Irish music in the air, and the community ready to celebrate the first sign that spring is coming. The Belmar/Lake Como Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, which takes place on the first Sunday in March, is one of New Jersey’s most beloved Irish celebrations for the aptly dubbed “Irish Riviera.”
