Well I guess your first sentence sums up your entire opinion. You
obviously do not see anything worth preserving or restoring. True,
they are the way they are because of the city's inability to
maintain them. That however, has a number of causes.
Let me say right up front that there are few, if any, for-profit
ventures that the Casino could accommodate to justify tens of
millions of dollars in restoration. Certain not-for-profit
facilities however, that could raise the money, for instance, the
NJMHOF, could work. There is also the possibility that numerous
grants could be obtained and the buildings restored in phases.
The first step however, is to WANT to preserve and restore these
gems. You don't seem to. Other towns would kill to have these
architectural masterpieces in their borders.
