Gee Gee's torn down, while Borough Beach Headquarters going up next door
Hurricane Sandy heavily damaged large portions of Manasquan's beachfront, and this week one of the most well-known businesses fell to the wrecking crew. Gee Gee's most damaged portion, its south side, was demolished this week. The northside is being prepared to reopen, selling pizza and other boardwalk food in time for the 2013 season. But the landmark business became a casualty to Hurricane Sandy and was torn into a pile of rubble this week.

Children skateboarding, houses rotting
The damage to Manasquan's eastern portions came into clearer view this week after the borough lifted access restrictions to eastern portions Monday. The area allowed the return of residents as well as onlookers and contractors who were taking in the damage and reopening areas deemed safe.
