Of course, the way things are going with Asbury Park not wanting tourism, I guess we may be forced to look elsewhere for a home. It's a shame because Asbury Park shouldn't seek to be the next Bradley Beach - it should be seeking more. It has too much going for it to settle into the next little family town on the Jersey Shore... One more note of just how much success Belmar is having with their move to residential. The town council voted to have our parking meters run from May to the end of September. Why is this important? Because for decades those meters were ONLY used during the summer. The town is struggling to find ways to make up for lost tourist revenue... ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
