I have to question your objectivity here Maureen. If you think that the 
complaints (some from me) about the sound quality of the archived shows being 
rotten (your words) are merely perceived then you need to get your hearing 
checked. I've listened to the new archive of the Feb 2 program and the 
difference between it and the previously posted one is like the difference 
between night and day. There is no perception that the quality was rotten. It 
was rotten. On the previous version, the voices were virtually unintelligible 
and, for the most part, Councilman Johnson was not even audible at all. In the 
new version, everything is as crisp and as clear as it can be for this type of 
audio streaming.

(I have both files if anyone wants to hear the difference)

I thank you for doing whatever it is you did to make the quality better. But at 
the same time, you need to just own up to the fact that the archived audio 
sucked and not blame your listeners for their perceptions.  And I apologize 
if my attempts at prodding you to raise the bar on your own program were 
thought to be unprecedented whining and gnashing of teeth ... that won't 
happen again.

What is your problem? You lurk on this forum, do nothing to improve 
issues in AP and bitch and moan on a quarterly basis and ask questions 
that everyone answered months ago. Then you make smart-ass comments 
like this.

Joe, I think Maureen was being tongue-in-cheek on that post. You were 
not the only one complaining. I did several times to her during the 
show, right afterwards and the next morning and day. Maureen never led 
me to believe that she didn't believe the complaints were valid, in 
fact, she was immediately concerned about it. Her post was obviously 
an attempt at humor that was mispinterpreted.

[AsburyPark] APP Editorial on Vision for AP

2006-02-05 Thread dfsavgny
Coming up short on vision thing
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 02/5/06
The Asbury Park City Council is holding the feet of beachfront 
redeveloper Asbury Partners to the fire. For the sake of the city, 
and for its own sake, Asbury Partners can't let its toes get any 
closer to the flames.
The city, discouraged by the lack of progress on the rehabilitation 
of Convention Hall, the Casino and the reconstruction of the five 
boardwalk pavilions, has wisely insisted on negotiating a detailed 
time frame for the start and completion of work on the boardwalk 
buildings, along with penalties for failure to meet deadlines. On 
Wednesday, Asbury Partners was given two weeks to draft an agreement 
acceptable to the city.

Without such an agreement, Asbury Partners faces a default on the 
renovation portion of the plan. Should that happen, it would further 
retard the sale of the condominiums at the three major projects, 
which have already been slowed by the uncertainty surrounding the 
reconstruction of the boardwalk buildings. In a worst-case scenario, 
it could turn back the clock several years on the beachfront 
redevelopment.

It's disturbing that it has come to this. Not only has there been no 
progress on the two anchors of the boardwalk — Convention Hall and 
the Casino — but there has been no evidence of a coherent business 
plan or marketing strategy for the retail-entertainment portion of 
the redevelopment zone. Without a strong commercial component, the 
success of the residential component is in jeopardy. One can't 
succeed without the other.

Asbury Partners' SoHo meets South Beach concept has visceral 
appeal. But that model seems destined to fail if Asbury Partners is 
intent on turning the boardwalk area into a year-round destination. 
South Beach has beach weather 12 months a year; Asbury Park is lucky 
if it gets 12 decent weeks. SoHo and South Beach both have tens of 
thousands of potential patrons, people living within walking or 
subway distance of its shops, restaurants and nightclubs. Asbury 
Park has fewer than 17,000 residents, is relatively inaccessible and 
is largely devoid of pass-through traffic.

For the Asbury Park entertainment-retail component of the beachfront 
to succeed as a year-round venue, it will require a different 
formula — one based on unique attractions that will draw from well 
beyond the city and county's borders. The formula must be rooted in 
music, food and entertainment attractions that can't be found 
anywhere else nearby. It requires a vision that Asbury Partners has 
yet to demonstrate it possesses.

Getting Asbury Partners to commit to a time frame for the 
rehabilitation of boardwalk buildings is essential. But it isn't 
enough. The city must insist that Asbury Partners develop a credible 
business and marketing model.

[AsburyPark] help

2006-02-05 Thread blacktip62
 i was wondering if anyone knew someone with either the press or the 
coaster.. the AP police have a PAL basketball league. i just want to 
give some credit to them. my son joined it and i was at the first 
practice this past Sat and it was really good to see them try to teach 
the kids. they took their time and helped all that showed up... about 
25-30 kids showed up both boys and girls. it was really good to see 
them trying to start something that could give the children something 
to look forward to other than going on a corner and selling crap.. 

i know other towns have PAL leagues but i think Asbury need to have 
soe kind of press about this. something positive about the city for a 
change.

There can be a concentrated entertainment district proximate to the 
boardwalk. Restaurants would also work (power plant, etc. along 
Ocean). But the pavillions should mainly provide seasonal retail and 
public spaces. I think a restaurant could work in CH as well year 
round.

Joe -
I guess my ability to write in the ironic voice is seriously wanting. I assure you I spent those considerable hours working on the various elements of oursystem over the pastcouple of weeks,because of many messages beside yours and my own dissatisfaction with the archive - and the live internet broadcast as well. I actually do value my time, including the two hours on Thursday nights and the numerous hours leading up to them.
I'm sorry my misinterpreted sarcasm caused you to spend your time writing me. But I appreciate the heads up. Perhaps there are others that misreadmy meaning.
I'll post something.

Wait a second?!? 

Should that happen, it would further retard the sale of the 
condominiums at the three major projects, which have already been 
slowed by the uncertainty surrounding the reconstruction of the 
boardwalk buildings.

I thought they were all pre-sold with a waiting list around the 
block and down Mattison full of people ready to pay cash??? The APP 
must be confused with some other oceanfront development.
