Did anyone notice how somebody tried to make the north entrance door look
like a break- in hanging off the hinges? I wouldn't doubt they open a flea
market in the Casino, that's the mentality. Maybe give funhouse tours
through the carousal room? Sell bricks that fall in the nets? Possibilities
are endless. The HoJo Hotel is fast approaching the condition of the ice
rink. What is that stuff coming down the wall on the boardwalk @ 5th Avenue?
You think there will be any shows this year in the bandshell? Give forklift
rides to enter. Get some rockers up there and they'll bring down the house.
