Cant move that building like it is, you could pull what CBGB did and
take everything out but like you said, everything is not original. My
point is that the Stone Pony is all thats left. How can it be let go?
Sure, it was closed, and changed to a dance club, and isnt exactly
the same today as it was... but its still the *same building*. Its
the location. People can walk in and picture what happened there 30
years earlier. Most people who would come to visit the new Asbury
Park dont care about the other bars that surrounded it, or what the
Stone Pony was before Bruce played there.
