No, Bradley is just fine the way he is :-) However, you do raise a significant issue - CONTEXT Or, as spoken about today - Feng-Shui >From the wikipedia: "Today's Feng Shui schools teach that it is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. Feng shui literally translates as "wind-water." " How appropriate for a discussion of Asbury park. The Metro project towers were supposed to represent wind-water. Too bad the architects of the "PLAN" (Weldon, Council, Asbury Partners, etc) did not study the Feng-Shui of Asbury Park. The beachfront was never intended to be a 3000+ condo secluded City within a City. Asbury Park already has most of its land use dedicated to residential housing. Another portion is dedicated to commercial/retail uses. What's missing, is the economic engine that provided jobs and external cash flow into the city. - the BEACHFRONT Yes, the Feng-Shui of Asbury Park is broken. To restore harmony and prosperity the Beachfront must be restored to its intended purpose within the greater context of Asbury park and the Region. A Destination that attracts $$$, creates jobs. Why fight the obvious ? There is a Convention Hall, A Theater, a Carousel House, Boardwalk, Hotels...Pavilions...Beach... Build on that, do not ignore the Feng-Shui - change the PLAN. Add - resaurants, museums, attractions, pools,... reduce the number of condos. Werner PS - Asbury Park is designed using the principals of the "City Beautiful Movement" - the Feng-Shui of over 100 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Beautiful Yahoo!
