Yes, it lost its original intent because the real estate market went south.
Don't be upset at the Roadtrip organizers; take it up with the realtors who
didn't sponsor the real estate side of the event as they have in the past. The
realtors dropped the ball on this weekend when they stopped selling homes and
making money because of the economy. Why didn't they take a chance with their
own money by hosting a real estate trolley like they did in the past, where
were all the open houses etc...?

uummm maybe because the weekend events (including Tiesto) brought in over 8,000
people who packed every hotel and B&B in Asbury and Ocean Grove and the people
also over loaded the meters with money and shopped and dined in Asbury stores
and eateries? The town made money on the people who attended. What was the
inconvenience for you? You had to walk around the building on Friday during the
4 hr window that they had the party? I would rather the out of towners come to
Asbury and spend their money and keep my taxes low. People who didn't pay for
the beach event got the same entertainment for FREE as people who paid $60! Is
it that important for you to set up a blanket against the building?
I guess if we stop these events we have to stop all events like volleyball,
lifeguard competitions, polar bear plunges, marathons, art fairs, fireworks
etcÂ… boy the beach is getting boring.
