Memorial Day Yuppies

Brigantine Local
They come from the Philadelphia suburbs of both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the Garden State Parkway both directions is backed up with...them.

Like a bad horror movie, "they're here". Pale, well dressed, sunglass wearing yuppies.

As if they were turtles returning to same beach they were hatched on, close to 11am on the Saturday before Memorial day, every year, these zombies drag their asses onto our fucking beach, coolers in tow. They leave plastic, cans, and glass where it lay. Dropping their broken beach chairs off on their way out, these people are locusts taking the good, and leaving their shit.

One of the best yuppie Brigantine summer leech viewing areas is the second Wawa parking lot. It's like the look out but better.
The sociology project that is the Brigantine Wawa's parking lot, has every varital of over privilaged youth. The smell of entitlement creeps down the surrounding streets at all hours, and stinks up the surrounding area that is almost compeltely locals that live on the island all year round.

The area around the second Wawa is largely dominated by rentals, and AC bus commuters. (Just an observation) Therefor seeing this is I am quite disturbed by the lameness that is this parking lot.

They drive their parent's hummers, and their sweet sixteen present SUVs. Meeting up in the parking lot is a rite of passage for the over grown children that cohabit with me in Brigantine for the summer.

Two years ago I verbally attacked a fellow surfer in a drunken rage due to his lack of shoes.
"If I can't bring my dog in here, why do you not have to wear shoes?"

On an extra personal note, today I littered ever floor in one of the Tropicana towers with magicican flyers barefoot.

What were we talking about?
Oh yea, tourists/snowbirds/yuppies they fucking suck...except they keep the economy going, lucky us.
