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
