Well the answer is, the roof of the Band Shell has been neglected for so long
that it has become a hazard with lumber being blown off in high winds onto the
Boardwalk and Ocean Avenue.
The roof surface deteriorated to such a degree that the underlying roof deck
(wood) is rotting. Keep in mind that about a million dollars was spent on
remodeling the Pavilion... and not a penny spent on the Band Shell roof...
Hmmmmm.
The City has ordered that the hazard be mitigated, hence the current work to
remove loose and rotting parts. Stay tuned to see if it is rebuilt or removed
entirely.
The Casino Arena, The Metropolitan Hotel, The Elks Lodge and others all come to
mind... demolition by neglect.
