Wildwood, New Jersey - Winter at the beach!


Marvis Diner
4900 Pacific Ave.
Wildwood, NJ 08260

Although not vintage, (the diner opened its doors in 2007) the neon definitely features an attention to period detail that is unusual in today's age of cookie cutter big box store signs. It kind of reminds me of the design aesthetics from the swing/lounge revival in the mid/late 1990s. Think Capitol Records' Ultra-Lounge music series. Regardless, it's a beautiful work of art, and it was also the first sign that caught my eye en route to Wildwood's main beachfront promenade.
