1.2.09 - On December 30th, 2008 a fire broke out in the Pine Surf Shop and Art Gallery in Ship Bottom, New Jersey. All of the local artists pieces fell victim to the fire along with all of the belongings of the residents of the apartments which were located above the shop. It is a very unfortunate situation, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of those associated with PINE, especially Julie, Mark, and Sean. If you would like to know what you could do to help please stop in Farias Surf and Sport located directly across the street from Pine on 28th street and Long Beach Blvd in Ship Bottom.
