Asbury is a ghost town, I spoke to a number of Cookman retailers, business is down since the meters went into effect. It reminds me of 8 years ago when we bulls some stores and rented them, then America's cup opened and we sat there waiting for a customer to come in...and waited and waited and waited. The merchants that are still there, and almost all the current merchants are hard working business people, not weekend warriors looking for a tax write off by opening a store...and then never opening. The high taxes, the extraordinary cost of opening a business in AP, and now the parking meters that don't even work are a detriment to downtown Asbury in a huge way. Occupay AP should be railing against this travesty of a money grab by the powers that be in city hall.
