This week we featured the former Steger Apartments building that was constructed in 1930 and added onto in 1962.  The Steger family owned and managed this building, on Dorchester Street in downtown Ocean City for several decades.  It now serves as seasonal employee housing by its new owner.

Changes coming up

The relocated Thrashers French fry location (from 8th Street) installed its new signage on the boardwalk at 9th Street.  This replaced the long-standing Alaska Stand which decided to sell this location.   Alaska Stand started in 1933.

The property just south of Sunset Park installed a chain link fence closing off its property.  A site plan has been approved for a new hotel.  Sunset Park will remain as a public park with free concerts on Thursday nights in July and August.
