[AsburyPark] Re: Bdwalk & Casino/Was Re: "gazebos" Anyway? the show’s over

[cathryn.be]

I saw the Casino the other day and it just seems to be falling more
& more apart.  Now in a way I think it looks cool ... there
seem to be crows nesting in it, trees growing up top!  and it's
almost a deteriorating building but moving spectrum in time.  But
I know long term if it gets too far 'gone' they will probably say it
can't be restored.  I believe in a 'perfect' world we'd learn to
incorporate nature's 'changes' into our designs (and not be so quick to
get rid of everything, every being that gets in 'the way') *especially*
if 'we' are part of the reason this happens.  (leaving an open
building exposed to all elements?)  I assume that the plan to
restore it is to bring it back to its original 'look.'  was there
ever a timeline of when each piece of the 'puzzle' was to be completed?

I appreciate everyone's comments.

You're already going astray there. "...effect we would like..." 
starts a subjective process. Back up and let 'Asbury Park' be your 
guide, not (we, you or I)

Excellent, Keep-it-Simple, apply that to the process also, think 
about it. Lighting fixtures are lighting fixtures, not music, 
instruments, or symbols, glad you re-thought that.

You're half way there, but still interjecting the "I" factor. 
seperate yourself from this and keep repeating - Asbury Park, Asbury 
Park, Asbury Park....
