This Book is available at Amazon.com Port Norris is located along the beginnings of the Maurice River and bordered by the Delaware Bay. In 1883, there were 885 people who called, Port Norris, their home. This book contains information provided from newspapers of the day published in Bridgeton, New Jersey. People called "local correspondents" would write down the "happenings" in the town then send it to the papers to publish. These correspondents would go by nicknames or just an initial located at the end of the day's story. These practices of correspondents sending information into the papers was "hit and miss" until about 1885 when articles began appearing on a weekly basis. Hopefully, this will give us a glimpse of what life was like in our small village many years ago. Port Norris, in 1884, was divided into two sections, Port Norris, which included the town's center and North Port Norris, also known as Middletown, located from approximately where Parson's Lane intersects North Avenue to Sockwell Lane. It was given the name of Middletown because it was located between Port Norris and Haleyville. Later it became known only as North Port Norris and eventually just Port Norris as it is known today. This book is the second in a planned series of books dedicated to our unique little oyster village, which in a few years would be called "the oyster capital of the world." Enjoy!

Offers a glimpse of the future of vanishing shorelines in America in the age of climate change, where the wealthy will be able to remain the longest while the poor will be forced to leave. Journalist Andrew Lewis chronicles the struggle of his New Jersey hometown to rebuild their ravaged homes in the face of the same environmental stresses and governmental neglect that are endangering coastal areas throughout the United States. Lewis grew up on the Bayshore, a 40-mile stretch of Delaware Bay beaches, marshland, and fishing hamlets at the southern end of New Jersey, whose working-class community is fighting to retain their place in a country that has left them behind. The Bayshore, like so many rural places in the US, is under immense pressure from a combination of severe economic decline, industry loss, and regulation. But it is also contending with one of the fastest rates of sea level rise on the planet and the aftereffects of one of the most destructive hurricanes in American history, Superstorm Sandy. If in the years prior to Sandy the Bayshore had already been slowly disappearing, its beaches eroding and lowland cedar woods hollowing out into saltwater-bleached ghost forests, after the hurricane, the community was decimated. Today, homes and roads and memories are crumbling into the rising bay. Cumberland, the poor, rural county where the Bayshore is located, had been left out of the bulk of the initial federal disaster relief package post-Sandy. Instead of money to rebuild, the Bayshore got the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Superstorm Sandy Blue Acres Program, which identified and purchased flood-prone neighborhoods where working-class citizens lived, then demolished them to be converted to open space. The Drowning of Money Island is an intimate yet unbiased, lyrical yet investigative portrait of a rural community ravaged by sea level rise and economic hardship, as well as the increasingly divisive politics those factors have helped spawn. It invites us to confront how climate change is already intensifying preexisting inequality.
