Two Points: 1. At least the partners don't need to waste time getting permits. ie: 1100 Ocean Ave. construction. If they do have valid permits, as they say; why would they not be required to post them in public view?
2. Watch how much credence you put in the words of Terry Reidy. I know that the rest of you want to think that I,m being dishonest, I can't change your minds. But Reidy, and Kinmon know in their hearts what they told me. Doubtful they'll never admit it though. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > So the story of the day is restaurant plans for HoJo moving ahead. > After I got through fuming at the fact that most of the maneuvers of late, > before the council as well, have been to force down the throats of the planning > board a plan to rehab the lower level of the 5th Ave pavilion in slap-dab > scenario, I realized the bigger issue. > At the last planning board meeting I said that I thought the push for the > quick and dirty rehab was an effort on Asbury Partners to woo MM into signing > their contract.
