Not a good thing, at least the c-8 site isn't 8 stories high and will
only blight the area from the surrounding area.
So many keep saying to re-open the wonder bar, fast lane and baronet, we
should add reversing the condemnation of the Jersey.
All the wrongs that have been heaped upon Asbury Park since Fishman came
to town can't be corrected as long as the greed and
dishonesty that has permeated the waterfront is cutoff completely.
How can anyone plunk down hard earned dollars on the wb, fast lane or
theatre knowing what lurks in the background.
I dream of getting back into the Baronet and getting the theatre going
again. Same for the fast lane and I'd bet all that Debbie would love to
have her
bar back. Only problem is, who is going to pay?
Even if someone had the money to re-open these places, you cannot
negotiate with the current people running the waterfront. Basically, if
the call you back, a big if, you then have to deal with their total
desire to control every penny that goes through your business. Then,
once your successful, they pull a Cadillac Ranch and kick you out
without explanation or due consideration. Put those properties on the
free market and get out of the way, a successful business will develop.
Keep the managing partners hand in the cookie jar and you will end up
with crumbs, bitter, rotting crumbs.
After all these years, how is it possible that there was no performance
bond that guaranteed completion of the esperanza? Isn't that standard
operating procedure with projects of this scale. The way it sounds,
Asbury Partners got Metro to pay 17 million for the developing the c-8
site. Isn't that more than was paid for the entire WRP? Shouldn't there
be some kind of guarantee that the project will be finished, and, if
not, shouldn't buckets of money and development rights be reverting to
the city of asbury park?
The late Bill Chinook wrote a great song called "The Streets are Paved
in Silver, The Sidewalks Paved In Gold" obviously he wasn't writing
about asbury's streets and sidewalks.
