[AsburyPark] Bad Design Explained
Installation of the awnings on the 1st Ave Pavilion has started. I stopped to take a closer look and take some photos. I know most will say 'They look nice'. However I want to point out some technical details that were - Overlooked. The awnings appeared in the Planning Board renderings to be functional parts of the buildings. Solid and useful to keep people out of the rain. The reality is that they are superficial design elements, very poorly designed. First - They are open on top, not solid. There are open slats perpendicular to the building wall. No protection from rain or snow. Isn't that the basic purpose of awnings or canopies? To offer protection from the elements? Standing under these will get you just as wet as standing in the street. Second - The slats are angled and shaped like wings creating a louver with the open top side facing North. The prevailing winds in this area come from the north, especially the most objectionable weather. That wind and rain will be captured by the 'wings' and directed down right on top of whoever is foolish enough to stand under these awnings in an attempt to stay dry. Completely useless - Bad design, non functional, No accounting for local weather conditions, No thought as to what awnings are for - to provide protection from the elements and make things comfortable for ones customers and tenants. Another example of architects having no practical real life experience. But it 'looks nice'. Werner Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: Rents in Asbury
Hi Jeanne, I rent a house I own in AP for $1600 per month plus utilities. It's a 3 bedroom/2 bath. I don't think there are very many 2 bedroom, single family houses in AP. If you google house for rent Asbury Park, NJ you will get more information. Jennifer Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: Bad Design Explained
It's hard to convince people that something has been poorly designed in the case of our boardwalk. It was such as mess, for so long, that even bad design is better then what we had before. Does that justify what we now have? Good question, but it is what it is, and unless we want our boardwalk to be a perpetual construction site, we have to learn to live with it. We honestly can't expect a redesign to occur at this point. And, I'm beginning to wonder if anybody in this cities administration is going to take MM to task about their elimination of the band shell. What a huge waste in my opinion. As a person that both attended and performed in performances up there, I can honestly say it was a great place to enjoy music, and it's a huge loss in my opinion. As for the bad design, well, to me, MM made a huge mistake in their choice of designer, and a huge mistake by not attempting to create a more vintage, unique look that played off of the height of AP's popularity. As it stands now, the boardwalk has little or no personality looks wise. It's generic and pedestrian. Not memorable. But, I believe we are stuck with it. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakd...@... wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, wernerapnj wernerapnj@ wrote: well one pouring night in the summer we left the Supper club and had to get back to the car parked on 4th ave.

[AsburyPark] Re: Community Food Bank Needs Food
You watch too much TV! Hair shirt, huh? I've bought toys for Blue Star Mothers, Toys, for Toys for Tots, donated money at the checkout of Shop-Rite, donated canned goods for a food drive, hell, when do I get anything? Yeah, I know, Tis the season to be jolly and all that, so I bought myself, 2 Whitman's Samplers! 1 for guests and 1 for ME! A box of candy with directions, so you get to eat the ones YOU want! I've sent out 4-25 card boxes of Christmas cards! You happy now, Post Office? Watched practically EVERY Christmas Movie EVER made, so I could cry into fancy Kleenexes! Going across the street to watch cute kids do a Christmas Play, next week, (bringing Kleenex to that, too)! I even have a cute female MOOSE in a Sleigh! Thank you, Sarah Palin! Going to cuddle up in my Jammies on Christmas Eve, with a full shot of Southern Comfort in a cup of egg-nog and watch Midnight Mass! Fa-La-La-Lah, La La La Lah! So there!

Imagine tipping the food bank 15% of your food order. === Wegs' has posted that their donate-at-checkout service ends around 12/22. I had a go-around with them last year, and vented about it here. But now FoodBank's Laurie has confirmed the compassion fatigue syndrome that Wegs mentioned back then. Everything is a syndrome these days. Some seem bogus to me, like Restless Leg Syndrome which sounds like a drug company marketing invention. But I can identify with compassion fatigue; I first experienced it thanks to Sally Struthers' appeals on late night TV. Now, thanks to Wiki, I learn that I was not alone: The ironic disparity between her activism for starving children and her own weight gain was parodied in South Park's Starvin' Marvin episodes. You're right about the guilt thing about unnecessary purchases, so I figure the sting of pointing to the $5 bar code is more humane and a technological improvement over the pain of self-flagellation or the discomfort in wearing a hair shirt in Press Plaza. It's also more effective than saying three Hail Marys.;-) **Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.

We used to goof on the idea and suggest that's why vocations fell off. Years later, it came up again when I taught The Canterbury Tales. Kids still laughed at the idea. Might be a good time now to resurrect all those old kinds of penance--for all the malfeasance being exposed in the public and private sectors. :-) **Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
