I worked at the Pearl for 3 or 4 years. I got to know Steve Lin and his business very well. He is the kindest, generous, dedicated person I have ever worked for. I loved coming to work and listening to his stories and how he built his business.

This saddens me and I willpray for the Lin family.

I wish I was paying attention to the world and knew about this sooner – I would have chained myself to it. hah

The State of NJ is just as corrupt as it gets. Any chance to step on the businessman to put a few extra pennies in their pocket, and they’ll do it. It’s a shame. The Pearl was a landmark for Somers Point

Just a tourist, not a resident, but I wish you the best in saving a much-loved restaurant and venue!

Theft and corruption before our eyes. Lets see how they like it when local residents refuse to patronize anything they decide to put in its place. I hope an aggressive, grass roots media campaign is tireless in its efforts to disgrace New Jersey DOT.

As always with government deals like this one, someone is getting a brown paper bag full of cash. What a shame. To be so arrogant to think people will believe this was all done for the Somers Mansion. What a joke!

Today they demolished an icon of Somers Point…the ironic part is that this morning I received an email from the somers point business association to come out and support a new business venture of a motel trying to open on Macarthur Blvd. and in the body of the email quoted, “The Somers Point Business Association supports this application. Somers point and especially MacArthur Blvd needs this type of economic development. Please come show your support.” This is bullshit….they had a pre-existing business that has been around for decades….YES DECADES…and they did nothing to support this pre-existing business AT ALL…so now all of a sudden the city is so concerned about economic development….what a joke…if you cared so much they would helped and supported THE PEARL!!! It just goes to show how corrupt the city is is…just like the hospital expansion…spent millions to fight it until years later they realized wow…this will create and maintain jobs….DUH????? What a crock of shit! And now its too late because The Pearl didn’t have all the money to fight…it’s SAD and it makes me sick to my stomach and it really goes to show…don’t work for the American dream because…the government at any level can come steal it back from you!!! WHAT A DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!
