Asbury has always evolved. 30's were different from the 50's which was
differnet from the 70's which was MUCH different from the 90's. The owners are
taking this hotel and bringing it back to life. Time will tell if they are
correct in their choices. They own it and are funding it so people should not
be so hard on them. Atleast wait for the finished product before you judge.

What should be done?
Build on the unique identity and character of Asbury Park.
This is not NYC, Miami, Timbuktu or any other place.
This is Asbury Park, NJ, USA.
The Greatest damage being done to Asbury Park, both culturally and
economically, is failure to take advantage of its intrinsic assets.
Attemping to turn this City into someplace else is what's killing it.
