“On The Boardwalk” Building Might Become Artists’ Studio

As you may remember, about a year ago local artists Bob Stokes and Paul Labrie wanted to rent the On The Boardwalk site for a studio. The city turned them down, but now they’re reconsidering.

The former On The Boardwalk Restaurant (across the street from the ferry terminal) has been empty for several years.

Bob Stokes and Paul Labrie want to create a metal-sculpture and glass-blowing studio in the building. It seems like a much better use for the building. And tourists getting off the ferry presumably would rather see an art studio than a boarded-up restaurant.
