Mixed Bag As Communities Continue Sandy Recovery

It’s been nearly a year since superstorm Sandy slammed into the northeast coast.

When it comes to rebuilding and recovery efforts along the New Jersey shore,  it’s been a mixed bag.

Some homes and businesses look like the storm never hit. Others look like it came ashore just yesterday.

So those residents who are able to return home often find themselves moving back into strangely empty neighborhoods.

From the Here & Now Contributors Network, Tracey Samuelson of WHYY in Philadelphia takes us to one such block in Little Egg Harbor, right outside Atlantic City.
