I haven't been mugged or victim of a violent crime myself (been
coming to Asbury since '76 or so) but I have had the pleasant
experience of having several bottles thrown at my car by a group of
kids on a street corner one night within the last two years. Might
not sound like much but at the time it looked like I might have
turned down a street owned by a gang with the way they were coming
after me. And I don't care who you are if it looks like a gang of
7-8 people are approaching you and you're alone, it's a nervous
situation.
Other than that just the normal stuff of being asked for money by a
lot of different panhandlers. That gets annoying after a while and
considering most of us see the same people doing it day in and day
out, it does make me wonder why they're allowed to keep doing it in AP.
I don't think the posters are wrong to want Asbury Park to be a
better or cleaner place. Considering that not too much (other than
Cookman Ave returning) has changed in the last 30 years, I'd say the
status quo isn't working.

i'd have to see some research on that. i am not against the
surveillance cameras, but i think people on this list are a little
obsessed. and fearful to the point of paranoia. i feel like i live
in a different town when i read what is written here. i ride my bike
all over the place, at night i feel like i live in a jersey paradise,
great trees, cool buildings and of course the beach..
i would like to hear from one person on this list who has been a
victim of a violent crime in AP...doesn't count if you were buying
drugs or ass!
