A WEEK IN REVIEW OF OCEAN CITY PICTURES

A WEEK IN REVIEW OF OCEAN CITY PICTURES – Week 6 of 2025

 

Letโ€™s look at several pictures taken in Ocean City, Maryland over the past week between February 1st and February 7th.   Well, by now we all know the groundhog is calling for three more weeks of winter!  Temperatures moved a little higher this past week, but more raining coming in next week.  If you think it was very cold, ask our friend Lou, who is a regular on the OC Boardwalk.

One of our favorite organizations is the Beach Heroes OC.  Each Tuesday morning a large group of volunteers meet at a specific location to pick up litter and trash for several surrounding blocks and the beach.  This past week fifty-eight (58) volunteers were present.

Here is an article on the Beach Heroes by Oceancity.com in 2024 to learn more about them: Beach Heroes OC article

Whether nice weather or not so great weather, usually one can see people walking the boardwalk.  This week also featured Lou, a part-time Ocean City resident who walks the full length of the boardwalk and back twice a day regardless of the cold weather.  And in shorts!!  Thatโ€™s a brave man.
