HEre's an improvement - Stella Marina opened and Lagosta.
Before all this bs, lagosta to me (and tommy) was Martell's arcade, then Bob
Asay's shop
for building his great boats because the pavillons were falling down (actually
crumbling).
First ave pav was an arcade, me with dogs/pizza etc (then HV's), Kohrs and
Criterion ad
bathrooms for the public. The casino was boarded up, the boardwalk caving in
the
empress a whore house cookman boarded up, CH not a beer nor cosmo in sight....
more
hookers on kingsley then people on the boardwalk and you really had to have
balls to
drive around first. second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh ave... you
had to make
sure youhad a spare tire not if, but when you got a flat driving down ocean
ave, wipe
away the fear tog et out and change the tire. but there was always a good
samaritan
looking for a coffee at 1am to change it for you,,,
Sure the city over the years (not just since Partners or MM) had every huckster
and REAL
developers come to town only to walk away. They either were shook down so bad,
realized that business had to be done a certain way or people had no f'in
clue....
So today you might have what the experienced over the years see - "improvement"
in a
certain way that we either like or hate. How much "improvement" will you see
by next
summer?
List what you'd like to see....
Let's start simple, like plant grass on all the vacant lots in the
redevelopment zone.
Nothing fancy. you don't eve have to plant it. Just throw the seeds down.
And on the budget - kind of hard to do a budget when you know off the start you
have
NO (not enough) money coming in and obligations up the rear...maybe the cty
should
auction off all their archives of old plans that were REAL for Cookman ave, the
boardwalk...
Maybe go plead to the feds that they need some of that $70 billon in loans for
to cover
mismangement and everything else....GM, FORD and CHRYSLER should be one -
"American Motors" (recal AMC....and the gremlin?
