Jim, I am in the same exact situation as you are. I have been gathering information on Asbury Park from various sources for the past 2 years. I would highly suggest coming down on a First Saturday to have dinner and walk down Cookman Ave. You will see and meet very many wonderful and friendly people. My family has been very impressed with the passion of the people in this town.
I will say that this board is very interesting but can get quite negative at times. I mentioned that to my wife one night who told me that the town I currently live in (and love) also has a yahoo board and that it is so negative that we would never consider moving there if the board was all we used to base a decision on. I think it is just the nature of these things. Hope you decide to come. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Jim Conley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Folks, > > Couple of questions for you.
