Condo City? like most every city is becoming or has become; however Asbury Park is not a city such as a Newark, a Jersey City or a Hoboken. Asbury Park is a beautiful oceanfront resort town, or should at least be striving to be, a place to luxuriate at, to relax, to enjoy, to live....what a pity that land planned for exhibition and/or entertainment was changed in its use! This change of use must have been approved, wouldn't it have to be if this was done?
