Well, if Gary is standoffish and sensitive to criticism, he's also got to
understand what our
city has been through. It's true that many of us here are mere observers, but I
think we all
have valid points of view, and it's obvious that we care about Asbury Park.
While I'd love to walk down the street and play skeeball, I certainly don't
have the means or
experience to open an arcade on my own, plus I have a full time career and a
job on the
side that already demand all of my attention.
