Well, this is Asbury Park, after all.
The greatest threat now is that the entire beachfront will be 'made-
over' in some homogeneous, strip-mall fashion.
Sure the ConHall and the Casino are being retained but part of the
reason a developer wants to do a BIG project all at once is
economies of scale.
It's less expensive to just duplicate a basic design over and over.
The pavilion sites are ripe for that kind of mistreatment.
I'm certain most of you have not seen the proposed 'restoration'
(and I use the term ligtly) of the Fifth Ave Pav.
It is a re-modeling, not a restoration as the plan dictates.
Including applied stoneface, just like a Middletown McMansion.
Here is one remaining authentic, significant piece of 1960s
architecture that they are hell bent on re-modeling, instead of
following the plan and restoring it.
If they can't/won't do at least that, what hope is there for the
rest of the beachfront?
