[AsburyPark] Re: This weekend's pictures
This is what I dont get. Why does everyone (almost everyone) measure things by 'its better then it was' when there are obvious problems with whats being done? Seems that anything is accepted and saying that its bad or could be better gets you flagged as not going along with the project. I didnt see how bad it was so am looking at things as what they are not what they were. Guess thats the problem with being in Asbury a long time you lose sight of what good work and design are supposed to look like. Very strange considering the minority opinion, if paid attention to, would make Asbury much better. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, arcman210 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: like i said 50/50 so far... theyre better than what was there, but the architecture is very very subpar. i appreciate the shops and stores much more than the buildings. and the 5th ave pavilions appearance saddens me.

[AsburyPark] Re: This weekend's pictures
From what I have seen in other places the common thread is that they are developers, not good neighbors. The best developments are when the local community keeps a tight leash (control) on whats being done. There have been many comments here about accountability and process. Its quite a long mess in the making from what I gather in reading the old posts. I was not prepared to be so disappointed when finally visiting. I thought everything was done and done well after all these years. I still dont understand how some can say its only been a year or so. The record here says otherwise. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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. This could've been totally avoided if they chose to build up one of the other pavilions in the same way, such as the one they are needlessly occupying. Yahoo!

I'm having a series of foot surgeries, one foot at a time, so my movement is restricted---can't enjoy the beach as much as I'd like, so if you see a lady with one blue surgical shoe...that's me!

Let's respect what we have and give careful consideration when adding structures to the streetscape! A little architectural integrity PLEASE!!! === You're barking up the wrong tree, pissing in the wind, etc, etc I've been at this for decades, Asbury Park is seriously dysfunctional and the simplest of obvious things are impossible. Werner Werner, I respect your experience, and perserverence in the face of strong opposition. I know quite well that I'm pissing in the wind, but some things just stick out so blatantly that even a tired old warrior like myself can't contain herself and has to put her 2 cents in. I know I'm basically preaching to a small choir, but there are a few newbies who may be converted. I get irritated when I read all the everything is wonderful posts, when some of these posters don't know the history of the architecture of AP. Sure, it is great that there is foot traffic on the boards, and life is coming back to a dead space. But at what price. Europeans value their architectural history. There were real opportunities for funding from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, etc which could have played a large role in preserving and restoring the remaining structures of old Asbury grandeur, but it was not to be. All that can be done now is try to reach out to new people and attempt to open their eyes and hearts.. Alas, the powers that be will do what they will as they always have. And those of us will spit in the wind and hope the wind changes direction when we do spit!! LOL Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: This weekend's pictures
I've said many times that the look that should've been brought back was the look that can be found on the inside covers of Helen Pikes book, from a time period when there was a foot traffic jam on the boardwalk just like the traffic jams I encounter every morning on my way to work. I will always say it looks better then it has in the past few decades. I realize they aren't done. But, we aren't talking about building a whole city. It's taken in incredibly long time to get anything done here, and given that amount of time, it should've finally been done right. Shipping containers and mall like architecture is wrong for our boardwalk in my opinion. I've tried to look at it from every different angle, and for me, it's easy to see the difference between it looks better and what would've been the right way to do it. The right way would've been historical preservation. Instead, history was wiped out and now we have a new starting point, and I don't like it. I'm happy that others do, because I know my opinion places me in the minority. I'll stick with being in that minority. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, njshoregirlap wonderwomanator@ wrote: the boardwalk buildings are not done. Blanks space on stucco, railings, storefronts etc etc etc. Was a crubmbling 3rd ave pav anything? Never was. Just an ugly building - like a dserted strip mall. It replaced a wooden structure years ago which may have looked nicer. The bandshell building. yes, there should be a bandshell there. The units on top - granted they added units to handle the heat from the pottery and glass blowing place. But having worked in an old restaraunt there years and years ago- there was exhaust fans on the roof before - and ac unit etc. somehow it worked. They haven't finished. Does it look better then before? Was the structure of the 5th ave building saved? Take a drive into NYC and see how historic buildings are being adapted for today. No one ever answers - what period of time in AP should be recreated? Was it the boardwalk of 1950, 1920 - or the boardwalk of the future. Is stucco overdone? Could new brick have been used? how about fake cedar siding? how about more glass? Yes, be thankful somneone took charge of CH and did waht has been done. Even in it's prime, you really didn't want a shop in CH because beach goers wouldn't go in there. Mainly did biz for events. Today, it's used as a center. They pulled it off. And yes, it's been about 7 months of real activity. Old timer or not - it's clean and actually shows sing of improvement for lack of a better word. Is it perfect architecture? No. Go to the boardwalks of AC, Wildwood, Seaside and Point. If you want, I'll arrange an 18 tourwe'll play pinball, wack a mole, I'll show you how to win on the wheel, cheat at skeeball, eat pizza, steaks sanwhiches, waffles and ice cream, porkroll ride a himalays and more.
