MTV Show "Jersey Shore" Coming to Sea Isle City May Be a Rumor

I know there have been a lot of rumors flying around about the MTV show "Jersey Shore" coming to Sea Isle City this summer and I just rec'd a meesage from the Sea Isle City Community Services Department and wanted to pass it along. If there are any updates on this I will pass it along!

"Subject: Jersey Shore Rumor “Jersey Shore” in Sea Isle City is “Unsubstantiated Rumor”

SEA ISLE CITY —Sea Isle City has been mistakenly rumored to be the next location for the MTV reality show, “Jersey Shore.” To date, there has been no contact made to City officials regarding this possibility. According to Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio, “We have not been contacted about the show “Jersey Shore” filming in Sea Isle. This is an unsubstantiated rumor and in fact, we understand the show is returning to Seaside Heights for the next season. My staff and I are in communication with MTV to clear up this matter and ensure the media is provided with accurate information.”
