That big money also plays a vital role in the rest of the downtown and
the rest of the city. job creation, major events (which in turn role
over or could, into downtown).
The beach and boardwalk are like having a convention center or a
ballfield. The downtown has to play off of that AND what it can do for
itself. The city as a whole has to control the image and get past we
vs them. Throughout history the downtown and boardwalk always wondered
what the other was up to.
MM marketing plans and those of their merchants may or may not benfit
the downtown or it will. The people they draw and how they maintain
their businesses will have (does have) a direct impact on the
impression on the rest of the city. The downtown leaves an impression
as does main street, memorial drive, asbury ave and springwood and
every other street in the city.
The best way to see what I mean is to hop on a bike, your feet or if
you have to, a car and drive EVERY street in Asbury.
PS, Asbury Park is also on the west side of the tracks, runs down
Asbury Ave to Ridge. It's the "southwest".
