Despite the tiny size, this post office is THE only one in this small town…read more I give mad props to this place - they can handle volume like no other and still have a smile on! If I had to encounter old cougars and even OLDER gentlemen, I totally would kill myself from their rudeness and incompetence! I don't like the fact that prices are constantly on the rise (rightfully so). But I hate the new implementation of the size/volume envelope rule! Just weigh the damn thing and put postage! Now we have to worry about the width/thickness etc etc! Best bargain - the flat rate Priority mail boxes. Even though they are the size of shirt boxes, I was able to mail home half my wardrobe - jeans, shirts, tees, tanks - all weighing at least 15 lbs/box but only paid $9/each. Anyhow, friendly and hard-working diligent employees! Something rarely seen by US government these days!

It is on the State and National Historic Registries and serves additionally as a museum honoring the history of the Life Saving Service, the Coast Guard and our military. It is the oldest building in Stone Harbor and can be visited during the summer months daily except for Sunday and Wednesday from 10am until 2pm and of course on NJ Lighthouse Challenge weekend.

The downstairs is a bizarre mix of active Legion Hall things along with some very beautiful paintings/murals on the walls which the artist's interpretation of various shipwreck scenarios with life saving equipment in use. They also had a few tables with postcards, Legion and Lighthouse memorabilia for sale. At some point we'll come back to see the second floor and to spend more time.

This was our last stop on the Lighthouse Challenge and we happily hung out and chatted with the…read moregentlemen. Third floor is a must see for any WWII buffs.

This is actually about the branch library in Cape May, as there is no category. There are two…read moreproblems: 1) You have to pay 25 cents/15 minutes of parking. Who ever heard of paying to park at the library. 2) They have no plugs for laptops--I went there needing to work, and could not believe there were NO PLUGS--they actually have a note that says 'No Plugs." So I plunk down $1.50 in the meter, go inside, and have to leave because my laptop isn't charged. Really, charging for parking? No plug-ins? Unreal.
