Long before the beaches of New Jersey hosted reality TV, my family used head this way for summer vacations.

I made it back in late September. It was well past tourist season, especially on a weekday, but it was still warm enough for some enjoyable walks on the sand and boardwalks.

There are a number of murals and other public art near the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, N.J.

The New Jersey Korean War Memorial and 9-11 Memorial are also just steps from the Boardwalk.

This is my favorite mural of those I found near the boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

“Dissent is Patriotic” is even more colorful if you get to see it when the sun is shining on it. I just happened to be passing through on a cloudy day in late September.
