You still need business offices, to DRAW in the customers! AP HAD a
bank, 1st Merchants, in Press Plaza. I named my daughter, Renee,
after one of the Teller's! What WAS Canadian's, is now a real estate,
something or other! The Anchor stores, in Press Plaza, Rexall Drugs
is GONE! Gone also, is Steinbach's, The Asbury Park Press,
Woolworth's, Dainty Apparel, Pix Shoes, Eidelberg's, Lane's Drug
Store, JJ Newberry's, Lerner's, Kresge's, National Shoes, The Bra and
Girdle Factory, above the Luncheonette, next to Kennedy Park,
Berger's, the Army/Navy Store, The Youth Center, Bob and Irvings, The
Varsity Shop, now an upholstering store, Reed's Jeweler's, all of the
small boutique's, next to the Press Box Restaurant, so tiny, it was
like sitting in a boxcar! GONE, like yesterday's newspaper, GONE
forever! Just a small listing, of a downtown, lost to history! 37
years, I've been here and most of the once wooded areas of Neptune and
Ocean Twp., looking like EVERYWHERE in America. Wherever you go,
there you are! What a crying shame!
