February 09, 2026 The OCNJ Local, EP. 70: Hot Potato
Grab a coffee and join Dom and Drew for a deep dive into the recent Boardwalk Subcommittee presentation held at the Ocean City Free Public Library. This wasn’t just another town hall; it was a data-heavy look at the pulse of Ocean City's most iconic landmark.
In this episode, we break down the hard numbers from the subcommittee's report and what they signal for the boards' future. Finally, Dom floats a "wild card" proposal for the north end of the boardwalk. It’s a concept designed to spark a conversation about year-round engagement and the preservation of the town's soul as the world changes beyond the bridges.
Whether you’re a local business owner or a weekend regular, this is one you’ll want to hear.

January 30, 2026 The OCNJ Local: EP, 68. A Cold Start to 2026
It’s a cold start to 2026 in "America’s Greatest Family Resort," and the local scene is heating up. This week, Dom and Drew dive into the headlines shaping Ocean City’s winter—from a school district shakeup to the future of our most iconic landmark.
First, we tackle the news that Superintendent Dr. Christian Angelillo has officially announced his retirement. After a rotating door of leadership in recent years, what does this mean for our schools, and can the board find a permanent "captain" to keep the ship steady?
Then, we look ahead to Tuesday, May 12—Municipal Election Day. With filing deadlines approaching, we discuss the early buzz surrounding the non-partisan races and what’s at stake for the city’s future.
We also preview the highly anticipated Boardwalk Subcommittee open meeting on Saturday, February 7th. Councilman Dave Winslow and the team are heading to the library to share their "data-driven" findings on commercial zoning.
Finally, a huge shout-out to the OCDPW and our downtown merchants. Following the recent snowstorm, the recovery was fast and efficient. We talk about the impressive coordination that kept Asbury Avenue open for business.

January 30, 2026 The OCNJ Local: EP, 68. 4 to 4
In this high-stakes episode, Dom and Drew dive deep into the recent Ocean City Planning Board decision that has everyone talking. The board’s 4-4 deadlock vote officially rejected the application to designate the property at 600 Boardwalk as "in need of rehabilitation." A move that has sent shockwaves through the local community.
They break down the 4-4 tie and explain why a deadlock in this context results in a rejection, what the board members’ primary concerns were, and legal and financial limbo once again surrounds the site.
This isn't just about one piece of land; it's about the current and future state of Ocean City.
