the boardwalk buildings are not done. Blanks space on stucco,

Was a crubmbling 3rd ave pav anything? Never was. Just an ugly
building - like a dserted strip mall. It replaced a wooden structure
years ago which may have "looked nicer".
The bandshell building. yes, there should be a bandshell there. The
units on top - granted they added units to handle the heat from the
pottery and glass blowing place. But having worked in an old
restaraunt there years and years ago- there was exhaust fans on the
roof before - and ac unit etc. somehow it worked.
They haven't finished.
Does it "look better" then before?
Was the structure of the 5th ave building saved?
Take a drive into NYC and see how historic buildings are being adapted
for today.
No one ever answers - what period of time in AP should be recreated?
Was it the boardwalk of 1950, 1920 - or the boardwalk of the future.
Is stucco overdone? Could "new brick" have been used? how about "fake"
cedar siding? how about more glass?
Yes, be thankful somneone took charge of CH and did waht has been
done. Even in it's prime, you really didn't want a shop in CH because
beach goers wouldn't go in there. Mainly did biz for events. Today,
it's used as a "center". They pulled it off.
And yes, it's been about 7 months of "real" activity.
Old timer or not - it's clean and actually shows sing of improvement
for lack of a better word. Is it perfect architecture? No.
Go to the boardwalks of AC, Wildwood, Seaside and Point. If you want,
I'll arrange an 18 tour....we'll play pinball, wack a mole, I'll show
you how to win on the wheel, cheat at skeeball, eat pizza, steaks
sanwhiches, waffles and ice cream, porkroll ride a himalays and more.
Maybe we'll wind up in a casino.
