Saturday … Just back from a delightful lunch with Blogmate Tony Deutsch and “The Tramcar Girl” herself, Anne Blake, at Adams Restaurant on the Boardwalk where our waitress was the inimitable Tammy herself.
I call Anne “The Tramcar Girl” because she actually has the tramcar tattooed on her back, along with the words and music to “Love Those Wildwood Days.” Cool, indeed; makes more sense than a lot of the tat art nonsense that is going on today, all sleeves and excess.
Anyhow, Anne, like so many others Tony and I meet on our travels through the Wildwoods, has been coming here since infant-hood and is and always will be totally in love with the place. And the Tramcar on her back gives substance to that deep-felt emotion. A single mom with a daughter going off to college, Anne will be getting married soon and plans to bring the wedding party to the reception at Adams in – natch – the Tramcar itself, no doubt piloted by Tramcar majordomo himself, Gigi, who posed with us before lunch.
