[AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Metal Container Shops
There are places that protect scenic and historic views. Didn't anyone think of that before putting up those shacks? I've always appreciated when I have good photo opportunities. That fortune teller place is known around the world and certainly should have been protected. Its changed for the worse. It used to be a white building and the one nextdoor (bandstand) was orange. A great classic Asbury image from the boardwalk. Now its blue with a yellow building behind it as viewed looking NW. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Your point about taking that picture is a good one. People from all over the world who are Bruce fans come to Asbury to take pictures like the one you mentioned. I met one of these people once in Germany, and she has a photo album with a pic of her standing next to Madam Marie's. An entire side of that building is now obscured by a shipping container. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, New Beetoap newbeetoap@ wrote: That was my impression too, they are awful. This was brought up here before they were even put in. Seems really cheap and tasteless. They block the views down the street too.

I haven't printed pics yet, but who ever heard of using shipping containers painted white as storefronts? My God they are hideous!!! They dot the vacant spots between the pavillions (which are looking great by the way) I am not sure how much the rent is for these hideous containers whatever it may be is too much. Yahoo!

Let's not forget that point that MM chose not to be good neighbors to the Empress with the 1st Ave pavilion also. They've pretty much destroyed the view of all the ocean side rooms now.

All, I wanted to make two recommendations for groomers: The first is Debbie Tanza who comes to your home and grooms. Her phone number is (732) 269-1466. She is fabulous and does a wonderful job on our dogs. If your dogs are easier to groom outside your house, you should go to the Dawg Joint. Two locals who live in the Santander just opened it at 513 Bangs Ave. We brought the grouchier of our two dogs there this morning and picked him up a hour later looking wonderful. The Dawg Join has a great vibe, fantastic services, and unique dog foods and toys. Their prices are also reasonable. Their phone number is (732) 455-3145 Amy Quinn Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Goldwater on Guido's Pizza
Nine is a musical with a book by Arthur Kopit and music and lyrics by Maury Yeston. The story is based on an Italian play by Mario Fratti inspired by Federico Fellini's autobiographical film 8½. It focuses on film director Guido Contini, savoring his most recent (and greatest) success but facing his fortieth birthday and a midlife crisis blocking his creative impulses and entangling him in a web of romantic difficulties in early-1960s Venice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_(musical) On Jul 25, 2008, at 4:57 PM, sharon_b283 wrote: OOPs!
