As an outsider looking in AP has made TREMENDOUS progress in the
past 5 years and based on the current group of investers and their
reputations (MM and Metro) things are continuing to move forward.
Why focus on the negative? Call me stupid or call me "new whitey
with an esteemed condo on the beach", but I for one plan on spending
my summers and weekends in AP with my family which includes an 18
month old daughter and 5 year old son.
Even in its current state I would be happy to live in AP. The main
attactions are the beach, the restaurants, theatre, great shops and
nightlife something I lack in my boring suburban town.
As far as the surrounding towns....if they don't want to come to AP
they can stay home or go somewhere else to have fun. I live in
Passaic county and everyone I talk to up here in both Bergen and
Passaic Counties are optimistic about the progress being made in
AP.
A few weeks ago I was with a guy who grew up in Monmouth County and
currently lives in San Diego.....he spent the day and evening in AP
with a friend of his who has a house in Spring Lake......he could
not believe the progress being made in AP.
Whats the plan for tomorrow? What's the plan for change? Walk
around town and you will get a good idea!
