Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Tourism Flashback - Future?

Werner, In reference to your comment: Lots of discussions NOT about history, tourism, recreation, marketing and the future role and potential of Asbury Park recently.   Those are all valid topics.  But some of us won't stand by when someone, proclaiming himself "historian" or "ambassador" of Asbury Park paints, here and elsewhere, a distorted picture of the political climate or zeitgeist in this town.      Everything posted here, no matter the explicit topic, also documents and implies, for the record,  what we-who-live-here are all about.  And why some of us still choose to live here through it all.   I submit that's just as important as curb heights and the putrid colors that Asbury Partners chooses to paint the pavilions.   I tried to explain that rationale more completely in post 18535: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/18535   Sorry for the complex sentences; I can't help myself; sound bites are not in my genes.  ;-)   And, of course, there's always the delete button.     Cordiali saluti, Mario ========Original Message======== Subj: [AsburyPark] Re: Tourism Flashback - Future?
