[AsburyPark] Stuff wanted....
Our old, crappy but faithful charcoal grill was stolen from the parking lot of Holy Spirit Church recently. Somebody must have brought it to a scrap metal place for cash because I can't imagine anybody wanting it. If anyone, has one for us, please contact me directly. Also, The Bike Church is going on many trips this summer on our bikes. This week we went fishing. Next week we are going to play tennis. So, we are in need of poles and rackets. Seems like stuff that might be hanging around in people's basements And, of course, we always welcome bikes, parts and helmets Thanks, Kerri Martin The Bike Church Yahoo!

Thanks for the background, but I still dont get it. It took 6 years to get started ?? The things you mention about reconstruction are just a normal part of any building rehab. Its done all over the place, not a big deal. You ask what kind of buidings would be good. All of your choices have some merit, some more; some less. But colored concrete cubes ??? That should not even be in the running. Reminds me of all the classic strip malls I see getting the fake victorian make overs. Not to mention the new strip malls. Everything looks the same and fake.

[AsburyPark] Re: after the fact rant
Jack, I take your point and feel a twinge of that nostalgia as well, but some things I DON'T miss AT ALL are printing up and posting a gazillion flyers, taking out ads in the papers you mentioned, calling people up and begging/harassing them to come to your gigs, and (worst of all) sending out mailers via USPS. It was an effort that all too often paid very slim dividends. One thing I am grateful about the internet is that it did away with all that mess. Also, not all was hunky dory with the scene as described. If you didn't fit their particular format, you pretty much fell between the cracks. I had the misfortune to being a little too bizarre for the mainstream but too old-fashioned for the alternative crowd; cult artist was something to be aspired to. The scene never quite knew what to do with my music. Of course, it didn't help that I didn't go to high school in the area, which is often the key to building a band's fan base. At any rate, thanks to everyone for your replies. For the record, I was not referring to the Press, but rather the publication that has positioned itself as the anti-Press since the Press left the struggling city of its birth, if you take my meaning. It seems as if they're ashamed and embarrassed about the whole music scene that emanates from AP, despite all the lip service they give to supporting all that's original and creative in the area. ~Heshy --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'll take that one step further. I think our entire music scene went downhill after the demise of 106.3. That station really supported local music, and their DJ's also worked in The Green Parrot and other local clubs. Many of us had the good fortune to do interviews with Matt on the station, which was always fun. Alot of younger musicians will say that the internet and myspace in general have saved the music biz, but I have another take on it. Back in the pre-internet/myspace days, 106.3, the Monmouth College and Brookdale stations, and The Aquarian were the centers of our local music universe. We weren't as distracted by being able to click away. We were all reading the same papers, listening to the same radio station. And it held the scene together, big time. Along comes the internet and we're faced with a myriad of distractions, including the internet itself. Now, instead of hanging out in person, talking in person, we do much of it online. We'd actually call people on the telephone rather then emailing them or texting them. The time that we now waste here on the internet was spent hanging out with your friends in the real world. I kinda miss that. Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Hi - Questions
Reminds me of all the classic strip malls I see getting the fake victorian make overs. Not to mention the new strip malls. Everything looks the same and fake. What? How do you think they all look the same? All the buildings are the same style, modern. But, I don't know if it's a true statement to say that anything else you see around looks like them? Use some of the previous plain yellow brick buildings as examples. How were they unique? The same style buildings can be found in near by Spring Lake.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Hi - Questions
There is only so much space on the boards themselves to build. They have to maximize every inch of that space. That's why you have the pop- up retail - the converted storage units. What gets developed west of ocean ave could be unique. Time will tell - might be 1, 5 or 10 years... Oak - Are you implying that the buildings on the boardwalk are not good or well designed? That's how i read it, not sure if that's what you had intended or not. Almost like the boardwalk is the way it is, but we can hope for better on the west side of ocean ave. I think the boardwalk buildings are nice. I mean, it's true, their not that different or stand out features. But were the ones before really that stand out themselves? Yea, one could argue we had the chance, and we should have went all out. Ah, I don't know.

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: My Visit and Thank You!
Hopefully Main Street will have received the attention it should have long ago: I'm talking boastful eye-catching signs and/or banners proclaiming progress so far, directions to the Cookman district's shopping and restaurant row, etc. I'm talking simple window dressing type stuff for now until main street gets the full treatment the town deserves. Same with Asbury Avenue which others have addressed here. Some time ago, I came ago across and posted the startling figures for the number of cars that pass through this city each day via Main Street. I can't find that post now, but the number could be multiplies by two eyeballs and multiple passengers who pass through and could be encouraged to check us out. Anyone have those vehicle numbers?

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: My Visit and Thank You!
I forgot where I heard it, maybe it was a city meeting. If down the road main street is changed to one lane, AP is in trouble! Do you know how many cars go through both of those lanes each way? Image if they were forced into one. Traffic! Parallel parking? Forget it! Doing that in a one lane road backs up the entire flow of traffic until the car is parked. People are also hesitant on parking because they don't feel like holding up traffic. A mental thing, maybe not even knowing their doing it.

[AsburyPark] Re: Bringing this up yet again
Regarding my response to last week's post entitled Baronet Graffiti Cleaned Up, I think everyone can acknowledge that there's a difference between street art and malicious graffiti. I intended to address the latter, specifically the prolific tagging that exists in Asbury, on both public and private property. Although I didn't see the Baronet piece, the title of the thread, 'graffiti', implicated the malicious type. The main problem is that the line is not usually clear. In the U.S., as in most countries, defacing property with graffiti without the property owner's consent is considered vandalism, which is punishable by law. Of course, sometimes graffiti is employed to communicate social and political messages. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions, to others it is merely vandalism. Which raises the next question: who gets to decide? On private property, does the owner have a say? What about public property? The public decides to deal with the issue by passing laws that ban the defacement of property without permission. Unfortunately for some, these laws don't distinguish among the artistic merit of the graffiti...but they could. Why not advocate to change the law making only BAD graffiti a crime? Meanwhile, it all gets lumped together. I'd like to see more art in Asbury, but since this isn't Lord of the Flies, we all have to live by the rules. Don't like the rules: change them to make Asbury Park a more art-friendly place. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, chris.hartsgrove [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't really come on here very often... I have plenty of other things taking up my time at the moment. But I did go back and read some of the threads from a few days ago that centered around the painting of the Baronet wall, and the subsequent debate about graffiti. And as artist, I feel obligated to throw my opinion into the mix. First of all, graffiti is not necessarily vandalism. Vandalism is defined as malicious destruction or defacement of public or private property. I strongly doubt that you could view a detailed swarm of multi-colored painted flies as having a malicious intent. There is a huge difference between some pissed off kid going out with a can of spray paint and putting something offensive, inane, or (this is still Asbury) gang- related on the wall of someone's business, and a talented artist putting his mark on the wall off an abandoned building. Good street art adds to it's surrounding environment... and with the case of the Baronet flies, go down and take a look at that block in the daylight. You would be hard pressed to find another spot along Kingsly that looks nearly as reminiscent of the Asbury of ten years ago. I'm curious to know what kind of aesthetic taste you need to posses to think that those spray painted flies detract from the visual beauty of the empty lots of dirt and compacting stone, boarded up windows, and the skeleton of the Esperanza (the ultimate monument to Irony). One of the things that Asbury Park has become know for in recent years is it's art. Asbury Park is filled with talented artists, many of whom see the abandoned buildings that litter the city as the perfect canvas for their work. In fact, they are just about the only people around here who have an interest in said buildings that doesn't include tearing them down or blogging about how they shouldn't be torn down... either way, they're the only ones doing anything with those buildings that isn't implicitly lazy and counterproductive. Personally, I want to see more street art. It would make the landscape of Asbury a bit more interesting, if nothing else. Ever since the early 80's, there have been those who debate the artistic validity of graffiti and street art. As a whole, the art world has settled the debate and moved on. Having an opinion on any art put into the public realm is vital... but to classify it as something it's not, or belittle it as vandalism is not only insulting to actual artists, it's laughable when you're talking about a building that's falling apart and slated for demolition anyway. But it's ok... it seems like most people want to see the Asbury waterfront become either a gentrified shopping mall or an over-glorified retirement community. So really, who cares about art anyway?
