The National Trust 2006 Most Engangered Places: Wildwood, NJ
Doo Wop Motels, Wildwood, N.J.- Named after a popular 1950s singing style, Wildwood's Doo Wop motels are the colorful beach resorts that line 40 blocks of New Jersey Shoreline. Considered the largest collection of mid-20th century commercial resort architecture in the nation, the motels are famous for their neon-bright colors, funky signage and exotic architecture of saw-toothed angles, crazy overhangs and space-age "Jetson" ramps. More than 100 of these iconic reminders of the recent past have already met the wrecking ball, and more are slated for demolition.
