All,
I tried to shop AP yesterday- I really did. I drove in, around, and out. For an out-of-towner, it's hard to figure out where to park safely, where the stores are, and why I would buy something there. The open businesses are widely separated except for Main Street. The city still looks in transition but it's hard to tell which way- up or down. I drive to AP every month or two- I see differences but it's hard to ignore to decay. It's hard to see which way the place is going- upscale, rich people, exclusive only or common person, middle class, me. Maybe it's just me, I'm confused, but I'll bet the malls were packed. I prefer the little shops with the owner usually there to the big you-are-just-a-number type stores. I drove on to Belmar, had a sandwich at Freedman's, walked to Taylor's hardware to see the train display. Drove to Spring Lake, then to Manasquan. Except for the sandwich, I didn't buy a thing. I did send an email to the asburyguild that they need a map on their website that I can print out showing me the open businesses so I can at least target the area I'm interested in. ------------------------ Yahoo!
