Ever feel like someone's watching you? If you're down the Jersey Shore on Route 47 you may be right. You'll be cruising along when out of the corner of the window will flash two enormous eyes staring at you over the roof of a building. If you don't hit the car in front you'll pull off across the street to take a gander at those eyes and giganto hands scaling a place that has ice cream, batting cages, and miniature golf. I'm guessing that aside from causing some fender benders, the Peeping Tom lures many a curious tourist to the business.
