My husband and I went to a First Saturday and stopped in Robert Legere Home, because my daughter buys regularly from there. They waited on everyone, but us. We were well dressed and cordial, but we were totally ignored, so I placed the items down and left. Never going back there, but it's just one store! IMHO, there are already 2 Asbury's, always has been. I retired from AT&T but you'd think I came out of prison or something. I was floored, because I'm not used that sort of treatment! I've lived here for 34 years and a very racist atmosphere. I don't go looking for it but I know it, when I feel it. I am a native of New Orleans and have never been treated like that there. I'd rather be in Mississippi than here!

Looks like it! I loved the 4th of July parade, the hard work and organization that went into it, yet, I don't feel welcome in some of the stores, so I stay away! Sad, huh?

It drives me crazy that the whole shore is so great and Asbury has been left behind. I know some people hate the con dos but but from what I see of the re-development plan the whole town will eventually benefit from higher property values, added tax base and some job opportunities although I'm not really sure about that. -----Original Message----- From: charlie leonard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, 8 Jul 2005 19:15:47 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [AsburyPark] Is there really a future for Asbury? s325run, no, the welsey lake project didn't die. mogn says lots of things, but remember, their just opinions. if the welsey lake project did die, work would have stopped on their cookman ave office and those foundations wouldnt be going in the ground. ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo!
