Regarding movies and PR for Asbury Park. I've put this "out there" before, but maybe clearer this time. ------------------------------- Would be great if something similar to this came to AP on a weekly basis....preferably at the Paramount. Don't know how Monmouth U hooked up with Clearview, but great tags like "Movies...The Way They Were Meant to be Seen!" Click here: Clearview Cinemas: Middlebrook Classics <http://www.clearviewcinemas.com/classics-middlebrook.shtml> At the bottom of that page, you'll see that it is "Sponsored by WMCX, Radio Monmouth University." No nickle and dime effort needed here , though.... AP can Think Big -- like Clearview's little Red Bank house; ushers with flashlights monitoring the aisles; tables, refreshments where people can chat waiting for next show time, etc. But not like Clearview's Middlebrook strip mall garages: lousy acoustics and dirty. Not too highbrow Art House either; I remember dragging people to the Baronet in AP to see such in the 1970's. Maybe that contributed to the demise of the Baronet. <grin> Call it Paramount Classics, Classics on the Boardwalk, on the Ocean; Esperanza Classics,...whatever. "Mayfair Night" at the Paramount! Eureka! Exploit Paramount's & Mayfair's cachet. SEE THE CLASSICS! BACK ON THE BIG SILVER SCREEN! NetFlix, DVDs, and DVR are great; but they keep ever-so-reluctantly-aging boomers home, especially during the week. Bar, clubs used to keep shore towns jumpin' all the time; but MADD threw out the baby with the bath water. ====================================
