“Anyone who requires a 10-by-10 space, that drawing is first,” City Clerk Diana Chavis said over the noise. Entertainers surged to the front of the room to toss their Boardwalk space lottery form into a large canvas tote basket sitting on a table.
Since the Boardwalk performer lottery system went into effect late April, this is how a typical Monday starts in City Hall. Around 9 p.m., performers filter in the room and fill out the simple form with their names and their artistic activity. At 9:30 sharp, the lottery begins for the 33 spaces, starting with 10-foot by 10-foot blocks.
When a name is called, a performer steps forward and looks at two maps: one for the weekdays spots and one for weekends. The city clerk checks to make sure the entertainer did not hold those spots a week earlier. Then Chavis records it for the city and writes it down on a form for the performer.
Last Monday saw 22 performers register for spots. Of those, 14 spaces were 100-square-feet in size.

Get over it street performers. If you are "discontented" then trot your sorry arses over to the boardwalk and rent a permanent shop on the boardwalk that you can call your own. It's that simple. It's no wonder your sorry arses have been reduced to what amounts to monkeys doing tricks for whatever people throw you. Useless bunch of complainers.
I'm going to ask again (Joe, you should know this answer):
Why don't the other beaches up north have this problem? Lewes, Bethany, Rehoboth?
3:47 becasue we live in a state that must regulate everything.
