Debbie, You are right. We have had an incredibly good year, thanks to people like yourself, MM our PD etc. Sometimes it's easy to loose sight of that when the rest of the world around us is in such a state of turmoil. One thing that does bug me though...why no dogs on the boardwalk in the off season? It really bummed me out to see Gary telling a woman that she couldn't walk her dog on the boardwalk the other day. There was hardly anybody there anyhow. In fact, there were more people walking their dogs then most other pedestrians at that particular boardwalk moment, but most of them were at the other end of the boardwalk. Neither myself, or anybody else i've observed, has ever been anything but responsible when walking our dogs on the boardwalk in the off season. I'd love to see the city address this issue.

The only way any of us is going to make it through this time of trouble is to support and promote each other. I will be happy to carry any information to give out to the public for you. We have a community table in front where we would be happy to put your flyers. > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 13:58:33 > +0000Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: On Asbury.... > > > > > Debbie I agree.... with what is happening in the world.. wouldnt it be great > to comment on all the great things that are happening in town... we had 400 people on a zombie walk.. might not be "mainstream" but it was a huge huge success... we have new stores opening on Cookman Ave... kathy kelly from Paranoramal Books is working tirelessly and with out 1 thank you.. to make a huge holloween celebration in town...you have shelter home.. with great gifts...accessories for the home.. they are always open..well lit and a great place to shop... I sponsered the NJ gay mens chorus on saturday....they had a huge group in front of my restaurant(plan b) MM is not here to save downtown... they are here to help support the work of those of us who have bought homes in town ( i live on park ave)... built businesses... and as residents of town.. we need to support everything that we can.. show up at the free events... and if we have a cpl of bucks.. have a coffee.. have a drink.. have a appetizer.. a meal in downtown... and tell our extended networks how great AP is...This economic downturn is going to hit people hard... I think more so in AP where the downtown..and the boardwalk do not have enough years of stable economic growth. this year.. take your xmas, chanukah shopping budget and spend it in Asbury Park... when you have to take someone out for their bday..anniversary.. that special night.. do it in AP... I know that i try to do everything I can in town...I want my business to succeed and I want to protect my investment in my home....so lets all work together on rebuilding this great place...stop pointing fingers and who does what wrong and whos responsible...and do what is for the good of this city.--- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Debbie DeLisa <debbiedelisa@> wrote:>> > I think it is very sad that this group has focused all of their time and energy on politics and judgemental comments on Madison Marquette and the City Council. At this time in our lives where we are facing an extreme financial crisis we should be trying to support each other and surround this board with positive thoughts. On Monday the Asbury Park Press ran a 2 page article on the Doggy Yappy Hour at The Wonder Bar. Not one person from this group mentioned it or took the time to comment on it. This is what brings our community together---Positive events we can share with others from our neighborhood and out of town. It is not about drinking---I don't drink--it is about comraderie and being able to share quality time with a pet who shows unconditional love. The most important result of this article was before noon on Monday we had 7 calls for adoptions from as far away as Pennsylvania. The look in these little one's eyes when they are bundled up and taken to a nice warm home is all I need to make me feel that THIS is what life is all about! > > > To: AsburyPark@: gabrielleobre@: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 04:59:12 +0000Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: On Asbury....> > > > good questions. who DOES run ap? part of me doesn't care. part of me does.but i DO care about who is bad mouthing CH.
