Re: [AsburyPark] NYTimes' piece

[restore881FM]

This story cried out for a letter to the editor. People are calling up this story all over the world and not getting all the relevant facts. Ex: By saying the property owners interested in preservation want to save a deli, the story is not only inaccurate, it erodes the credibility of the preservationists. BTW, Laura Jewel's husband, Ken, whose "Blue Grass Jam" on 90.5 rocks, fell in love with The Baronet during an impromptu tour on Saturday. So Asbury Radio wrote the following: Dear Ms. Edgerley - (NYT Metro Editor) Reporting on Asbury Park is a nightmare on the best day, so your John Miller did a fine job. But I must point out three things in an otherwise excellent piece: 1 - John's reference to the elements that stopped construction on the Carabetta building, which we call C-8, failed to include the colossal bank failures of the period - the late 1980s. 2 - In his interview with Council member John Loffredo, who favors condos over preservation of the entertainment facilities here, John did not include the fact that Loffredo is a real estate agent, who represents properties in Asbury Park. 3 - John grouped the deli with the 1913 Baronet Theater that locals are trying to preserve. The owner of the deli property is not fighting condemnation. In fact, she's trying to sell her property to Metro Homes, developers of the hi rise that will replace C-8. (Whether she gets to sell her property in the open market, or has to surrender it to the redevelopment rights holder, Asbury Partners, who will in turn sell it to a "sub-developer" such as Metro, will reveal much about whether this city is trying to get the best for its citizens, or simply placating the Partners.  Thank you for your attention to these points.

It was known simply as C-8, for its place on the tax maps.   Maureen Nevin Asbury Radio -"The Radio Voice of Asbury Park" 88.1FM - "5" Years on the Air!!
