Carousels are Increasingly Rare, But this One in Seaside Heights is Now a State Landmark

There are many rides at the Seaside Heights boardwalk but the Floyd L. Moreland Carousel is also a work of art.

“Everyone who comes to see the carousel is happy,” said Joe Verderosa, president of the Seaside Heights Historical Society. “It’s just a joyful place.”

The carousel has 58 rideable animals including horses, donkeys, and lions. The ride is now ADA-accessible for the first time. Image courtesy of Darren Tobia.

The sense of joy that surrounds the carousel has been heightened lately after it became the newest landmark to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places after a vote from the State Review Board in November. This is the culmination of a decadelong fight to save it.

In 2014, Casino Pier — which owned an arcade along the boardwalk that housed the carousel — planned to auction off this landmark. But local residents rallied and the local government stepped in to acquire it.

South Jersey Small Businesses Face a Growing Challenge: Keeping Good Employees

Small business owners across South Jersey are dealing with a problem that does not make headlines but affects their operations every single day. Employee turnover has become one of the most expensive and frustrating challenges facing local employers, from family restaurants in Gloucester City to retail shops in Haddon Heights to service businesses throughout Camden County.

The numbers tell the story. According to the Society for Human Resource Management, replacing a single employee costs between 50% and 200% of that person’s annual salary. For a small business paying someone $40,000 a year, that means spending anywhere from $20,000 to $80,000 every time a good worker walks out the door. When you are running a business with thin margins, those costs add up fast.

But here is what makes the situation even more frustrating for local employers. Many of the employees who leave were not bad hires. They had the skills. They showed up on time. They got along with customers and coworkers. Something happened in those first few weeks or months that made them start looking elsewhere.
