In 1869, a bearded Methodist preacher, with receding hairline and wide-ranging look serial-killer, came with his team of followers at a grove on the ocean to give birth to a "camp meeting" of religious fanatics. Noted the beauty of the place, the zealous of God decreed as their permanent home, calling Ocean Grove.
Soon after the establishment of a large group of God-fearing, were specifies a number of laws particularly democratic:
- a total ban on open alcohol outlets within a mile from the town
- invitation to swim in the sea on Sunday, under penalty of opportunity 'to spend the afternoon in the pool with a group of sharks
white - no coaches or cars for every Sunday of the year and closing the gates, with access to the city, 'with brushed titanium chain until Monday morning
All content and happy to be guided by the spirit in the sky this town on the coast of New Jersey, the bigots, tired of living in a tent, began to build their wooden houses in the Victorian style two or three-floor, decorated with artifacts and carved rocking chairs on the porch. He was born, so almost by accident, the town of Ocean Grove, which still maintains its original appearance and preserve 110 of 660 tents used by pilgrims to the camp meeting, as bungalows for tourists during the summer season.
In the pictures you can see the beach and a bit 'of local folk with the band of mature native who played R & B, also known as the devil's music in a church under the big cross.
