Asbury Park, New Jersey is a confused City of 17,000 residents, a
number that decreases during the business day as students, corporate
and business employees, hospital and health care workers and shoppers
leave to go elsewhere. It is a community with poor, diverse
neighborhoods, an unused downtown, and the wasted potential and
history as a cultural arts center.
Within a few city blocks converge no corporate headquarters,
a poorly rated school system, no institutes of higher learning, the
country's longest drawnout redevelopment project, two crumbling
historic buildings, three unused theaters, and several over priced
antiques shops.
As a long time observer and student of Asbury Park History
now serving as the City Historian in Exile for Asbury Park,
I encourage you to take stock of reality, learn as much about
what has happened here you can and demand better planning for
this City.
