Ocean City where?
Albert H. Dobyns
involve the Arnold's going to the beach, someone
mentions Ocean City. Being from the DC area originally
I've been to Ocean City, MD many times. I think there
is one in New Jersey also but I've never been there. Is
this a clue of any kind as to where "Arnoldtown" is?
Oh, I taped "Denial" and "Heartbreak" (hope that's right).
Looks like Madeline is not necessarily Kevin's best
choice. How crude of her to say that she didn't think
Winnie was all the great in front of Kevin. I'm sure she
felt she was better than Winnie (and maybe the rest of
the girls), but saying it to Kevin was just a mean thing
to do. I guess she didn't care because she knew she had
lost the battle. And how long would it have lasted even
if Kevin chose Madeline? I think not long.

I believe "Ocean City" was modeled on the "famous" "Atlantic City" in New
Jersey.
Because Arnoldtown is a hypothetical generic suburb, there can be no real clues
to the location. Nevertheless, whatever types of clues there may be, I believe
I have collected nearly all of them at

I and my family have gone to Ocean City (NJ) fairly regularly all my
life. I was there during the years in which WY was set (at least the
later ones), and during the years when WY was shown. I was there this
past summer, and am familiar with the place great in detail. In a
general way the resort in Summer Song, does look rather like Ocean
City, but I see nothing familiar in it, and am virtually certain it
was not filmed there.
I know there is also an Ocean city in Maryland but have never been
there. Since WY is a California show, I assumed that there was an
Ocean City out there too, or at least that the ep. was filmed
somewhere in that state.
In my opinion the WY resort looks and "feels" nothing at all like
Atlantic City, even in its pre-gambling days. However A.C. would have
been a more logical place for Jack and Norma to go on their honeymoon
than Ocean City (which is the next seperate town below A.C.)

There actually IS an Ocean City here in New Jersey, just a few miles
south of Atlantic City. It's in Cape May County and just about the
entire beach area of Cape May County resembles the "Ocean City"
depicted in that episode (family-oriented beaches, restaurants,
amusement parks, motels etc). But DON'T interpret this as an argument
that TWY was set here on the East Coast. It's set in Anywhere, USA.
And one of the reasons I don't post much to this newsgroup anymore is
that I don't want to contribute to neverending debates for which there
are no right ot wrong answers.

If it weren't for neverending debates there wouldn't BE a newsgroup.

I hear that Ocean City, MD has become a rather wild
place and is no longer very family friendly. We used
to go to Rohobeth, Delaware with our 2 kids. Much
later we went to Myrtle Beach, SC a few times.

Interesting that you mention Myrtle Beach, SC, Albert, as that was the
original inspiration for Summer Song and "Ocean City." My family used to
vacation there during the 60s and early 70s, and it was in fact where my
parents spent their honeymoon in the 50s.
As to the Ocean City in TWY, it was meant to be just a generic anywhere USA
seaside resort. Could be Maryland, could be Jersey, could be California,
could be the Pacific Northwest. Aside from a few notorious production
gaffes now and again, TWY was set in Anywhere, USA.
Hope this is helpful.
