Until the crime goes down in AP, I say Light Up the City! I know when I park in the lots; I try and park under the brightest light. Bright lights make me feel safe when I can see who/what is lurking around. Werner you can say all evidence points to this not being true, but it is how I feel. I avoid parking on dark streets. Asbury just isn't there yet to dim the lights. And trust me I like dim lights; I tried getting a dimmer for my fridge once. However, the Berkley one is crazy. When I saw that thing lit up, I walked down to the beach to see what was going on. Maybe it's another marketing ploy to get people to the beachfront?
