Joe, as you usual you pick up on non-essential issues. Thank God the
gay community "took over" if tha is what you call it. They have
played a large part in the ressurgence of this city.

I think you got it wrong, they are buying it to live here in a few
years.
> There was an interesting presentation at last night's City Council
meeting put on by officials from Neptune. (That's the town that
borders us where "Those pesky Methodists took over whole sections"
back a really long time ago)... Anyway the officials were there as a
courtesy to Asbury Park to present their plans for the Neptune
section of Springwood Avenue... They talked about how the relatively
small 3.5 block stretch of that one street had just received
planning board approval AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF WORK!!
You want us to use Neptune as the measuring stick? Sorry, but I
think most of us have higher standards.

There's another whole-block project "minutes" away from launch
(Metro Home) and other developers (who are not orthodox jews) are
actively working on the former Salvation Army block.
Yes, I know those folks involved in the Salvation Army block. The
council is impeding them.
Guess what? The 3/4 projects you describe are entities other than
Asbury Partners. What progress do you see on the things Asbury
Partners is responsible for, namely Casino, CH, etc.? Perhaps you
should see Skip's site and posts for updates. Is the paint dry yet
Skip?
While you're at it Joe, why don't you explain APAC's endorsement of
the Asbury Partners trio on the city council? Can you defend
Loffredo's public reversal of his position on the Triangle? Don't
you think Asbury Partners got to him? Big deal, we have some new
condos going up after 4 years (from MOU). That is a real tough feat
to have accomplished considering the real estate market over this
period and the fact that they will be fronting the waterfront.
Private developers and homeowners in this town did more and did it
first.
