gary, are you kidding me? southside johnny cafe? you wanna make southside the man himself puke? dont you remember the rising fiasco? bruce wrote a letter to the tri-city asking the people in charge of the city and redevelopment to kindly not name any streets, statues, bars,cafes, or hotdog stands after him or his songs. do you realize that bruce and southside are the streets of asbury, no nead to pay touristy homage to them...but it does not suprise me, you are full of Sh#&y ideas...when are you going to learn that nobody is listening to you and thank god that they are not...i for one could not be happier with the direction of the redevelopment and I may be one of the only ones on this board who actually live in town (for over 45 years)...been though the good and bad...i voted for loffredo, sanders, and bruno and i will continue to vote for them until they are through with the job they started 6 years ago...just a question for you gary...have you ever paid property taxes or rented a home in asbury? yea thats what i thought...you sure do have alot to say for an OUT OF TOWNER!!! please dont say WE when you talk about asbury anymore, it is an insult to the LONGTIME tax payers here... sam 8th ave resident > > > ************************************************************************ > **************** > Upstage Magazine - New Jersey's Premier Arts & Entertainment Magazine > PO Box 140, Spring Lake, NJ 07762 (732) 280-3305 > http://www.UpstageMagazine.com > Yahoo!
