Boy, Mario, I'd love it if someone besides me would ask that question of local emergency manager Terry Reidy. Last time I asked it was no. They're working on it. But the only plan I've seen is a 4-5 inch stack of papers - 8 1/2 x 11.

[AsburyPark] Re:Asbury Glory Days
People have to make money. Asbury Park has to suck it in to get this 'help' from developers. Most of our redevelopmental plan was negotiated from that point of view. We're all lucky little girls to be at this party. No, I don't fault developers for wanting to make money. That's another smoke screen the show's enemies have propagated - along with They're just against redevelopment. At first I thought those combacks were so juvenile that no one would take them seriously. Alas. I'm not even particularly surprised at The Partner's desires for their huge chunk. But there is a tipping point, whereby one guy wants so much of the deal that there isn't enough to go around. That's what you are witnessing here. The city should've recognized it and put a stop to it. The Partners should've realized the limits of their own greed. But Marty Sass (of MD Sass, the initial seed money for the Partners)likes to boast about his prowess at discovering distressed properties, including AP. (There's a magazine article, an interview with Sass to back up this point.) Hopefully, the retail LLC they established with MM is more equitable. But of course all of these negotiations have been done behind closed doors. So how can we know -- until it's a done deal. Most people didn't know the deal Asbury Partners had made for itself with the fast track developers until years after the fact. No matter what they say, this is a public/private partnership, which should be carried out in public. We're all grownups here. It's time the city started acting like one. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, dsher4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That is a very good point you make about the public swim club and no i was not aware.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Former Monmouth County Emergency Management Coordinator Harr...
I have also always inquired why AP was never included in the bio terrorism drills and emergency management drills held by the county---being employed by the CHD I was basically brushed off. Went privately to a couple of AP officials brushed off again. I stated the same thing Asbury Park is basically another Katrina waiting to happen. I also question why the super X is still open---I can't push the issue without having to defend myself as a whistle blower. Anyone willing to take on the county. The SuperX food store is the most disgusting store I have ever been in. The place wreaks of bad meat smell. The people in AP should not have to go to that disgusting store because they have no other decent food store in walking distance. I also don't under understand how they can sell Prussian delicacies (a baby pig with the head hand and feet still attached) Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

My old LL told us the city was behind the eminent domain issue while he got a PRIVATE DEAL with Asbury Partners in November o7. Now AP told me the old LL was the cause of my water and heat being cut off. And I guess I never would have made an issue of it if I had not got what I preceived to be a suttle threat...i.e.,Senior Citizen's building, and then finding the water gone when I went to water my flowers. Oh yes, the heat will be back on by Tue. They suspected I was not sleeping there because of my brother, now I suspect they wanted to save money on the water and heat. But my rent is paid on time and my things are still there, and my flowers needed water. Besides, I had all good intensions of living there again, once I got my brother situated. So for me, the only problem was moving once I found a place around the time my lease is up, on 5/31. Still praing they reopen the building instead of putting up a parking lot. Yet I thought they could wait for me even though they did tell me how expensive it is to keep a building open for just one person, a safety issue first and foremost, for them, really. But I have no power to do anything else. But when there was no water for my flowers, I finally put 2 2 together. I was just threatened. I couldn't believe I had been sitting across the table from the very people who evicted the Senior. They seems so accomodating and nice...at First. I thought they understood that my Mom's estate and the violations on the house and getting guardianship of my brother took a lot of physical and emotional turmoil on me on top of getting pnumonia 3 xs since June 07 and I'm still kinda weak while pushing 60 years old myself.

Thank you, Tommy!! That's exactly the problem. Just to evacuate Asbury Tower would take at least 8 hours if not more. There was a sign at the intersection of Rt 35 and Sunset instructing people to turn north. Please, no one should do that. The roads relieving traffic from the east would be choked off. People back here would be trapped. Aside from the ribbing we got for making a point of all this on Asbury Radio, I can tell you that the State Police, who run the emergency response on the state level, were very concerned that Conover wasn't coming back to us. I know the AP fire chief is serious about getting the plan done. I hope everyone asks him how it's coming along.

[AsburyPark] Asbury Park's Jake is top greyhound
Asbury Park's Jake is top greyhound BY SHANNON MULLEN FEBRUARY 11, 2008 NEW YORK Jake,'' a 3-year-old greyhound well-known to shoppers and merchants in downtown Asbury Park, won best of breed today at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden. Jake's victory propelled him to the hound group competition, which will be broadcast live tonight at 8 p.m. on USA network. I'm thrilled. He did great,'' said Jake's co-owner Jim Modica, 51, who owns Asbury Bark, a pet boutique at 353 Bangs Ave, in Asbury Park, where Jake is the greyhound in residence. Modica and his partner, Jeff Winton, 50, have residences both in Asbury Park and Long Valley, in Morris County. The couple have shown dogs for 17 years, including at least seven prior appearances at Westminster. But this is their first best of breed winner. In the hound group tonight, Jake will go up against 25 other best of breed winners representing dog breeds such as beagles, bassett hounds, Rhodesian ridgebacks and whippets. In that group, Jake will be facing Uno, an energetic tri-colored beagle, who has become the early sentimental favorite to win best of show this year. This is a show where there are big upsets all the time, so we're realistic, but optimistic, about Jake's chances,'' said Winton. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] requiem for a post
I wonder how my post from last week showed up this morning? I am a big hinge fan, but I do wonder where he gets the idea that the Flamingo was a viable business. We thought about trying to buy it and retro-modernize it and make a cool spot ala the motel in PA Jack mentions. Bottom line was AP Partners had total control of the property and AP ain't quite ready for prime time. I enjoy all the posts about what is and what should never be. I also decry the knocking down and blighting of the old buildings that make AP unique. But when it comes to places like the Phoenix, The Metropolitan and those bungalows by Jack's, the wrecking ball can't hit them fast enough. But when all is said and done, despite all the rhetoric, unless and until C-8 gets back online, it just doesn't matter. That building had to be built and still does. Yahoo!
