From 1950 to 1975, Ella and Frank Foster聽owned and operated the Elfra Court Motel. The Elfra,聽named for a combination of the couple鈥檚 first names, was the first Black-owned motel in Wildwood, New Jersey.
Throughout its 25 year life-span, the motel hosted entertainers like Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson, Sammy Davis Jr. and the Supremes. Amenities of its 32 rooms included a private bath, a TV, air-conditioning, daily maid service and wide sundecks. It had a heated pool, free parking and was a short walk to the beach, shops and nightclubs.
Considering that over 100 Wildwood motels were destroyed in the five years between 2001 and 2006, it鈥檚 impressive that this motel survived. While the Elfra may not have made it to the 80s, the motel building is still there and still hosts visitors. Up until 2014, it was called the聽Blue Heron Motel. Today, it goes by the Bright Inn and primarily houses foreign 20-somethings who come to Wildwood in the summer to work under a J-1 visa.

Can we talk about Talon and Krampy鈥檚 relationship?! I obviously love all the rival couples but I just love how Talon expresses to Krampy how they are getting older and how they are worried that they won鈥檛 be strong enough to protect the colony, and Krampy can relate and even comforts them on it. I love the old cats sm 鉂わ笍
