Boardwalk’s Purple Wood Not Connected To Ravens

OCEAN CITY – Placed in a timely manner as the Baltimore Ravens head to the AFC Championship this weekend, a unique purple section of Ocean City’s new Boardwalk was installed this week.

While some may think it was placed to show pride in the Baltimore Ravens, the purple wood, called Purple Heart, was a planned marker on the Boardwalk to differentiate where the tram route moves from its own concrete lane and joins the wooden surface.

The purple section of the Boardwalk begins on 4th Street in front of Shenanigans Irish Pub & Grille. City Engineer Terry McGean explained this location is where the concrete tram lane ends.

We'll claim it.Why could'nt they just play along with it? It would'nt hurt anyone to do that.The best thing to come along lately for us Ravens fans and now they want to deprive us of it.

I realize football can be tough and violent and the player get beat up quite a bit. BUT the purple heart recipients are real HEROS. Let honor them.

Nice idea 4:42. For the time being it could be a Ravens thing and then when footballs over this year turned into a permanent memorial honoring purple heart recipients.
