"Both owners were there for nothing more than turning a buck selling liquor. owners used to skim every last dime before any bookkeeping was done there isn't anything to really own other than the name itself. That building is a wreck, it's a barely standing shell "
The more things change the more they stay the same. All of what was remains true today; the place is despicable as is its owner, just guess who that is? The owner fired the staff on closing and milks the place for every dime; for good measure he occasionally shows up to puke and wet his pants. Despite the obscenity that the Pony is, it like many other places became a legend and that, the legend, is what is worth saving. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Except that there isn't anything to really own other than the name itself. > > That building is a wreck, it's a barely standing shell or at least the > last time I was in it in the late 90's.
