Just wait until the homeless shelter opens up on the corner of Asbury Avenue and Memorial Drive.  Just next door to the Chat and Nibble.  How is that for a great first impression of this city?    One step forward, two steps back.   Stand Up For Asbury is raising money to file an appeal against this shelter to prevent it from opening its doors.  The shelter ALREADY owns the property.   Stand Up For Asbury will be speaking at the next council meeting, tomorrow, July 6th at 7:00.  I encourage everyone who opposes this shelter to attend.   If you would like to help out and get involved please contact me at:   Paul Vail Stand Up For Asbury P.O. Box 643 Asbury Park, NJ 07712   [EMAIL PROTECTED] 917-435-8829   Checks can be made payable to Stand Up For Asbury!   From: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Schutz Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 9:45 AM To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Signs, Signs and more Signs   The Asbury Ave corridor, from 35 to Main Street has long been an area of contention with me. As one of the major arteries into town it should be clean and welcoming. Instead it is a mess, there are always cars parked on the sidewalk, usually in some state of disrepair and there is trash all over the place. You only get one chance at a first impresion. I remember coming to town a few years ago for a concert in Convention hall and when I got onto Asbury Ave, thinking where the hell am I? I have asked council people about Asbury Ave, and I have always gotten the same response, One thing at a time. Maybe we should relook at our priorities, people do not want to travel through that corridor of crap to get to town.   Is this area part of the UEZ?         ----- Original Message ----- From: wernerapnj To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 9:11 AM Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Signs, Signs and more Signs   --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "wernerapnj" <wernerapnj@...> wrote: > Add all that to the fences, brick walls, pavers, etc, being allowed > on public property. And another thing - Allowing the numerous car dealers and repair shops around Asbury and Memorial to operate their business on public property. Vehicles parked on public property and sidewalks. Some have gone so far as to fence in public space for their own private use. No property taxes paid on that use, barbed wire fencing,... Am I the only one who SEES this stuff ???? and cares ????
