Hinge, I agree that this is a sad dissertation. I am also unable to
offer a solution and I am sorry that you have to go through this.
The litter problem, I have that too, the prostitutes I don't. That
doesn't make anything any easier. I can tell you one thing...
although I have had to think about my visits, none of this has kept
me away from Asbury Park and there were more people there on Saturday
than I have seen in recent history. Aside from about two people that
I saw, I don't think anyone was thinking of picking someone up off
the street. I love Asbury Park as well and I hope that none of this
lasts much longer. Glenn
