Name names. Even one.

This I agree with. I refuse to be a member. That's why the
Merchants Guild was formed, because of how bad the Chamber was. The
Guild was a more Asbury oriented, progressive, populist group. It
did very well. It's now defunct, but we've left the Guild corporate
structure in place for when people deceide to leave the Chamber
again and start up the Guild again.

I think the stats belie your assertion.

That would hurt any shore town - not unique to Asbury.

I claim expert status on this issue. Asbury's local PR problem is
still a problem, but it is lightyears better than it was just 5
years ago. Lightyears.

Apparantly you've never met Oakdorf, Dan S., me, and many others who
bring our kids here regularly.

Name names. Who in AP are you claiming has no class?

The gays that are moving out aren't going far - Wannamassa is the
new Asbury Park.
Is Asbury Park attracting families to visit on Day Trips? Yes. To
move here and live? Not yet. You don't want that anyway.
If I moved here with my four kids, you would pay $80,000 a year
educating them, and I'd kick back less than $10,000.00 in taxes.
That needs to be straightened out before you want guys like me
moving back in.
> OK. What's the plan tomorrow? To change the plan?
Vague question.

Then be a good rabbit and crawl back in your hole.
