I recall going there in my late teens and early 20s. I drove the
circuit with a friend who had a brand new, white, 1974 Monte Carlo. I
couldn't use my car because it would have been stop, jump out, and
push at every light. CB radios were big then. I never took a 'lude'
but I knew what it was, and the people who took them, in retrospect,
seemed verrrry happy... Didn't the former Asbury Park Mayor take a
lot of ludes? Or did he just sell them. I can't recall, but his
family owned a funeral home. Does anyone remember John Bass, the
artist? He used to hang out at the Golddigger.. and later had a
series on local cable TV painting acrylics a la Bob Ross. I think he
lost a leg. Didn't Golddigger have bar hot dogs? My grandmother,
after my Grandfather passed away, worked at the Criterian Candy
store. The first time I went in there was to see her working....
I saw here in her white iniform, and she gave me something I had
never seen or tasted before: white chocolate. She would take the
bus from Criterian a few miles north to where she lived. The bus was
a perfectly safe and acceptable form of transportation.... even for
little old ladies smelling of boardwalk chocolate.
