When Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital closed, the mentally challenged began showing up here. The powers that be, back in the 80's were so busy "getting theirs", no one seemed to care! I'll bet that the Mission will be a place that the homeless will flock to for lack of a better place to go. Go into the archives and see who was running Asbury Park, when they GAVE the City to Carabetta! Every administration since, have said THEY had the answer to this City's problems and every "new" administration are beset with the same problems as before. These are just "old" problems recycled. > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.Try it free. >
