Here's what i'm wondering in regards to the bandstand. Somebody mentioned that some piece of cooling or heating equipment was installed where the seats used to be, which is absolutely true. That being said, I really doubt that those are temporary. I might be completely wrong about this, but over the weekend MM had artist renderings of that pavillion in their office window, and it certainly didn't look like the bandshell was a functional thing, more like an architectural thing. If that's the case, the city really needs to step in and cry foul about this. That bandshell was a wonderful part of our boardwalk when it was used (years ago) and it absolutely should be preserved for the future. It's 100% unique, and there are so many attractive uses for it. And it's named after one of the people that helped establish AP in the entertainment world. It'll be criminal if the city let's this one slide. It's time (long overdue) to play hardball, and even though MM has done some great things, that doesn't mean they are beyond accountable for this.
