"This is just a question. What retail do you all think would be
benefical to Ocean and Kingsley? "
I could see Kingsley being a nice restaurant row.
In fact, with the combination of Cookman Ave, Asbury Park could be a
great place to go out for dinner. Just look at Bradley Beach.
Restaurants are a good way to use one of Asbury's current strengths
of entertainment at night.
It's hard for me to see pure retail there or on the boardwalk.
Boardwalks have traditionally had games, food, and t-shirt/souvenir
shops. If they built the mall in the casino it might attract people
but we have so many malls in the area anyway that I don't know if it
would be a great placement for it.
