In 79 & 80 I lived on the other end of Oceanview up close to the curve. Actually I lived across from what was a Best Western Motel around 17th View? I went back a couple of years ago and that end of Oceanview was gone but the apartment building I lived in was oddly enough still there. It looked like every apartment complex including the ones up on the point at the curve were bull dozed down. It looked like a ghost town from what it once was. I even remember the old amusement park across from what was the Oceanview Greyhound bus depot and Western Union Office :>}

You wouldn't recognize Ocean View now. East Ocean View is now "East Beach" and full of McMansions. Alot of the apartments and motels are gone and have been replaced with more upscale housing.
Amusement park is long gone, and Harrison's Pier blew down in Hurricane Isabelle. It's since been replaced by a much sturdier pier with a restaurant.
