==================================================
Gab, Your missing a very significant aspect of Asbury Park.
Many people have never been here yet follow the news and care about the City.
Its reasonable to have expectations based upon the news "hype" thats put out.
Most likely you have not followed the workings here as long as others who may
not even live here ?
By all accounts this entire redevelopment should be completed by now.
Thats what the public was/is told. Is it any wonder that a visitor is
disappointed
by shipping containers, vacant lots, monotonous architecture and little to show
for all the hype?
