What if you want to be a self-absorbed jackass for whom using trash
cans and parking within the lines are anathema?

This is the best one, if a little long.

Springwood and Prospect. (Crazy, I know, but a little faith and
willingness to take a chance could make it work - and tie together a
lot more than just commercial space.)

Don't even remember if I posted about this but I've been thinking the
same thing for years. The only thing about Miami worth emulating.
(Press Plaza works because of the alliteration. New York kept Herald

66 east, with stops at Prospect and Pine, to Main Street, make the
right, stop at the train station, head east on Lake, with stops at
Emory and Heck (the latter for Ocean Grovers coming over from the
bridge), north on Ocean with stops at the Casino, 3rd Ave, 5th Ave.,
and 6th Ave. left on 7th to Grand, head south on Grand (with a nice
view of the lake)till Asbury, make the right and back out to the
Outlets. All hybrid-electric shuttles of course.
