It's the local law. Look it up at dumblaws.com - it says "no foul language on Atlantic Avenue, Boardwalk and Pacific Avenue". Want to say something about that? Please walk at least to Baltic street :).

Baltic's actually an extra block away from the zone - you only need to go to Arctic. That is funny, though.

I keep forgetting the order of these aquatic streets :).

The other city ordinance, which has no signs though, prohibits "cruising on Atlantic", which it defines as driving it twice within 30 minutes. In summer evenings when this would count, there's no way you can make two rounds in that time - the traffic is either go-stop-go slow, or just stuck.

And yet this is the city which refused to join Norfolk's light rail program because of "the noise", while having a naval base just about three miles behind the beach. Those jets are louder than any train.
