====================================================
I took the meaning of "blew it again" as referring to the lost opportunity to
install the NJ
Hall of Fame in Asbury Park. The entire 'Pony Block' should have been
designated for
such a use instead of being zoned for condos.
The Casino complex could have been a nice venue for such an enterprise also,
although I
still believe its strength is in being a multi use entertainment/event facility.
Also keep in mind that the "Fame" of Asbury Park extends far beyond music into
Religion,
City Planning, Use of technological innovations, Sports, Amusements History,
Sanitation
and Health, Theater....etc.
An opportunity to become a world class museum/destination that works with the
identity
and heritage of the City instead of against it as the current condo/retail plan
does.
Yes the City "Blew It". What's really sad is that few are willing to stand up
and say so in
spite of all the evidence.
