response: what's obvious too me is that the area continiues to improve....is it perfect? no....but is anythng ever perfect? to me the look of the pavillions is a very subjective.....i guess this is what you are referring to as obvious problems? where would the boardwalk be today if MM was not here? this is the MM era of the boardwalk and you should judge the progress of bw from when they started taking an active role here just over a year ago. to suggest that the boardwalk has not benefited tremendously from their presence is crazy in my opinion.
