Wildwood, NJ was very fortunate or forward-thinking. The boardwalk area was in the doldrums in the early to mid 80's. When tourist business was dying, all the vintage motels could have disappeared. It's a good thing that they chose to market themselves properly.

Look at what happened to Asbury Park, NJ. Corrupt town officials, predatory land owners, and a depressed economy destroyed that town. There's almost nothing left from the glory days of the mid 20th century.
