I lived in Bradley Beach in the late '70's and remember everyone in OG parking their cars in town every Saturday night! It was crazy! Definitely a holdover of a bygone era

I've never been to the place but it sounds FASCINATING . Can you tell anything more about those days ? ... as it sort of reminds me of what it was like after I got out of high school in suburban Philadelphia , 1976 ... and it was LEGAL to drink when we were 18 . We used to go over to Jersey sometimes but I NEVER even heard of Ocean Grove , but NOW WISH I HAD . I know I'd love to OWN A PROPERTY THERE .

A dear friend just passed at age 93. She was born 1929 in Ocean Grove and her father was one of the officers tasked with locking the gates on Saturday night. As a United Methodist, one of my favorite vacation memories was 2015 when she took me to visit her family who still live there. "God's square mile of health and happiness"

My friends and I often stayed at the Dunhaven Hotel on Ocean Pathway in Ocean Grove during 1972-1973. On Saturday, minutes before midnight, we ran to our cars to move them to Asbury Park. There were no cars, bicycles, baby carriages or wheels of any kind allowed in Ocean Grove between midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday. I also remember an elderly woman yelling at a man for not wearing a shirt on a hot summer day on Ocean Pathway during the early 1970s. The Dunhaven Hotel burned down during the late 1970s.

No BABY CARRIAGES ? No STROLLERS ? Man ... that's really HEARTLESS if you think about it . They had that same crappy law in the PLAYGROUNDS at Hastings-on-Hudson back in the mid-1990s when I was there ... INSANITY .

I keep telling people anymore in the past few years that I wish we could go back to no later than the early to mid 1970s .. ... it seems things got crazier and crazier after the mid-80s and by 2001 forget it Nothing Was the Same after 9/11 in America

This is well done, with a number of interesting graphics. The description of the press role of the end of the Sunday ban, however, is not really correct. In the case you described (Schaad), the NJ Supreme Court stated, in dictum unnecessary to decide the matter, that the religiously influenced form of government was in fact probably legal, though the press restriction was not. The court in essence changed its mind the next year in a DUI case State v. Celmer, ending the Camp Association's rule.

Great video, Emil. I live at a nearby town and give all my houseguests an Ocean Grove tour. Will now share this video.

My grandparents lived there, and I remember well the Saturday night ritual of taking the cars out of the Grove and parking them in Bradley Beach. My favorite story was that one Sunday, there were two police cars in town -- the only cars permitted. And they had an accident with each other!

And don't forget, if you buy a house in OG, you don't own the land, you lease it from the Methodist camp meeting association

Actually they were allowed to deliver newspapers in the early am hours. It was fine until one of the APPress driver was drunk and crashed into the gate column and wanted his drunk driving charges dropped. Also it’s nickname is God’s square mile.

Me too I would love to own property there but read the comment by Lauri Hutchins .... .... she claims you can own a house , yes , but the land you are on is actually leased from the Methodist Church ... ? Interesting and you have to wonder how that affects the homeowner ... I think people like us would really want to know in what ways .
