by John Margolies

Return to the glory days of boardwalk culture. With this colorful photograph taken by the famed photographer John Margolies, you will be able to admire the fascinating and highly decorated prize booth in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, full of nostalgic items. In front of a neon "ONE WIN" sign there is a huge wall displaying mid-century consumer goods, including portable TVs, transistor radios, cookware, acoustic guitars, and power tools.

John Margolies is an artist who is famous for his iconic documentation of American roadside vernacular and pop culture. He makes a game stand from the boardwalk look like a great time capsule of 20th century America.
