What Locals Don't Love About EHT

Of course, residents had some complaints, too.

The roads and traffic came up repeatedly, especially during the busy summer months.

And then there's the annual arrival of the shoobies.

Summer tourism can mean packed roads, busier stores, crowded parks, and a whole lot more people trying to get to the shore.

Love it or hate it, that's part of life in Egg Harbor Township. Judging by the responses, locals wouldn't trade everything else about EHT just to get rid of it.
