The city has to make money. Anyone have an idea on how much parking meters have taken in along with ticketing for parking? Roll back the clock to the first gay pride parade which was on the boardwalk. I had a place way back then. The one mother with kid on a deserted boardwalk ran for cover - it was more like a gay rights here we are parade. The houses then were near worthless and the city coudln't collect a dime in taxes. The city should make more use of it's main asset - the beach - charge away. Someone should produce a gay version of Bay Watch - in AP. Look at all the people this weekend in AP. The weekdays are pretty quiet - you still need MORE housing, more day trippers and more local weekday residents. AP is still lacking all of the above to really support day business in AP. That's why you need events to bring them in with disposable cash. Not even can dish out $3.25 for a slice of pizza now. Before you know winter will be here. Just an observation. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
