From The Vault
A sentimental fave of mine that appeared in the June 30, 1986 New Yorker. The Cape May, New Jersey beachfront doesn’t look exactly like that, but that’s how I like to remember it from my pre-New Yorker years there working summer jobs. [Here’s a Spill post from July of last year about a Cape May New Yorker cover by Laura Jean Allen].
