[AsburyPark] A Respectful Good Bye.
Hello listmates, I have been respectfully put in my place as a visitor. I kind of like that, as this trying to help YOUR city has become a pain in my ass. I'll visit, sure enough. I'll spend my money on ME and MY enjoyment. No more donations to the needy, no more support for the City. Oh, well. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors. I have been put in my place and that place is NOT Asbury Park. I am so very sorry for your situation, I attempted to assist, I did my best, but it was all in vain. Blissfully yours, Glenn Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: City declares Istar in default.....in APP
Shame on me, huh, Jack? Yep... 10 years (9 according to the neighbor) that lot next to The Empress was a mess. I have no clue whether it was my own following up which gt it cleaned out or whether it was an amazing coincidence, I am not sure that either you nor Brian even have a coincidence. Have either of you TRIED to make change in Asbury Park? I hear a hint here and a hint there... Seeing as I do not live there, I quite possibly am not privy to these attempts of change. Yep, it will probably be a parking lot as historically, it always has been. Jack, if you think that I come to AP and don't think that I see the same things that you see, you are wrong. Yes, I do not live there. I was an annoying advocate of change with that Empress lot and none of us will ever know if I had anything to to with the cleanup, but it's clean. I do know one thing, logging into this group and bitching and complaining to cyberspace accomplishes absolutely nothing. You can point your finger at me and berate me for calling someone out, but I DID SOMETHING, I ACTED. I'm probably on the City's list of assholes, but please inform me of my list mates, who else has acted? Honestly, I am losing interest in AP, sad that.

I live in a graveyard of destruction, and it goes on and on and on. I don't see anything with rose colored glasses, and Brian is right on the money, and shame on you Glenn for calling him out. He see's exactly the same thing I see. We have a weak local government. It's pathetic. Powerless. Zero balls whatsoever. The local rose colored glass wearing public is in total denial. Sure, progress has been made, but we are accepting marginal development as if it's the greatest thing ever. Total bullshit. I look out my living room window, and I see destruction. This city is a microcosm of a plague that affects much of the USA...homogenization and a total lack or care or respect to a cultural history. It's pathetic. Tear it down, and replace it with crap. I'm sorry, but I will not waver from my opinion that the boardwalk we now have is nothing more than a soulless strip mall. It will forever be inhabited by a rotating cast of characters that will never take hold, because they lack uniqueness and a sense of place. Once upon a time, there was a thing called architecture, and right now in the City of Asbury Park, it's being mocked. There is zero continuity. It's a mismatch of conflicting styles punctuated by acre upon acre of empty lots. Masterplan my ass. Our so called Historical society is a piece of ineffective crap. We have a historic Carousel House that contains the most dubious piece of garbage Xmas display ever. It's a joke. Here's a thought, put a Carousel in there. The Paramount is dark how many days a year? It's a theater, but it's empty more than anything. Finally, just in case anybody isn't paying attention, the Arthur Pryor Band Shell is done. Never, ever coming back.

All these questions you pose are valid and there is no reason why the public shouldn't know. In fact, denying us that information is against the law. The appeals panel, in Nevin V Asbury Park, wrote that it defeats the spirit of the Sunshine Law for the City to share the details of a proposed contract with the other side of that contract and leave the public in the dark. So after that decision, the City began meeting with the other party with a subquorum of the council, two council members, instead of the three necessary to conduct business. The councilmembers gather information at these meetings and then meet in executive session with the full council to share these details. But at this point they are again in violation of the Sunshine Law. If the council wants to discuss their strategy, then the law allows them to go into private session for that purpose. But first the public should be informed of the terms that the other side - in this case iStar - is presenting or sharing with the subquorum members. What useful purpose does denying the public this knowledge serve? iStar surely knows the information, why shouldn't we?

[AsburyPark] Sadness in Asbury Park
I was supposed to be in AP this weekend, sorry to report that all of this rain has closed many roads by me preventing the pets and I from visiting. I (we, including the pets) regret being unavailable to provide support to our friends, hence, I reach out to all of you local people. Joe and Carmen Dello recently laid their trusty feline friend Gracie to rest. Gracie was an addition to a family which has supported Asbury Park for decades. Check those History Books. A few days ago, our own Baily Quinn passed on. You may recall him as the poster on this group for Amy Quinn. Rest in Peace Gracie and Baily. In their honor, I ask you to think about what their families stood for. The Dello's supported A.P. then and now. Amy Quinn fights for A.P. every day.

[AsburyPark] Re: Baronet's Gone! Let's look forward.
I'd support that. Although ReVision has had much success in the Carousel House, I'd think that they would agree that it is not the prime space. I personally rallied a while back to get the sister Carousel to the original Carousel back in that carousel house and I met with opposition that it should be *given* to ReVision. And, yes, there IS a sister Carousel and it was available. Maybe it still is. Anyhow. The issue at hand is theater. Personally, I have not witnessed ReVison performances (partly due to the the opposition of my effort and partly due to the fact that our schedules never mesh), but I have heard TERRIFIC reviews! I was in town for the Tommy dress rehearsal and what I saw was magnificent. ReVision needs better than a carousel house and there is a Carousel out there somewhere waiting for a home. I see the flip side too, Revison has kept the carousel house living. I also fear that the Casino and the Carousel House are falling subject to Demolition upon Neglect. Though, I suspect that the Arthur Pryor Bandshell will be the next loss. :-( Everything seems to start with the roof. I had additional information regarding the roof of the Baronet, sadly, that doesn't matter anymore. So, keep me in the loop with a home for ReVision. I still would like to see a Carousel in that Carousel House. All my best, Glenn --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, marioa...@... wrote: The Baronet is gone, gone, gone.

Ask yourself if attendance at a Council meeting is even necessary? Do you have a pen and a piece of paper? Do you have access to e-mail? Do you have access to a telephone? Do you go out in public and meet people face-to-face? My point is that complaining here is only relieving the momentary stress, it's not accomplishing anything. Example: A close friend complained to me via another media during the winter regarding the lot behind The Empress. I sent an e-mail to the Mayor voicing my friend's concern as well as my own. I received a reply within one business day explaining that the eyesores were being dealt with. I gave it some time and I followed up, again via e-mail. I received a reply that Deputy Mayor Lofferdo was assigned to address the issue with that particular lot. I gave it more time... and yep, I asked again. I was once again told that it was being addressed. I got fed up and I called code enforcement and stated that I was making a Formal Complaint.

[AsburyPark] Re: The failure of AP paid parking
All, I have taken some time to read Maureen Nevin's notes (http://www.asburyradio.com) and I would like to call attention to a few in particular as well as to express a wonder that I personally have: In William Gray's $1 million dollar suit against your City, he claims (quoted from asburyradio.com): Under Description of Injury, the claim cites emotional trauma, mental and psychiatric stress, anxiety and depression together with aggravation and exacerbation of pre-existing stress... and similar complaints arising from the workplace and suffered by Claimant, William Gray. Aside from the word Workplace, I would wonder if the Monmouth County Prosecutors office would be able to argue that this is nothing but the SAME things which William Gray afflicted upon your fellow resident Werner T. Baumgartner (and quite possibly others.) Think about that. Werner got JAIL (multiple times!), Werner got FINED... Mr. Gray should get a MILLION DOLLARS in compensations for THE SAME THING THAT HE DID TO SOMEONE ELSE? Think about that. And here is my Wonder: I wonder if the reason that all I hear is complaints and nothing about action on this group is because the residents of Asbury Park (on this group) saw it happen to Werner (and quite possibly others) and they are afraid that the same thing may happen to themselves. I wonder. William Gray had stress, depression, anxiety, trauma? Is that not the SAME thing that HE inflicted upon every owner of a sidewalk crack, a sandwich board, a table too close to the edge of the walkway? Never mind what he did to Werner. He should get a nice hefty fine (IMHO), not an award for his pain and suffering. Hey! Maybe even JAIL TIME! The Residents of the City of Asbury Park, NJ need to step up and speak for themselves.

All valid points. As a visitor, my ability is limited. The lot on Kingsley is referred to by The City as the staging area. I have personally approached (several times) the mayor and the deputy mayor with regard to that lot. I was told that the lot would be cleaned up. It is my understanding that, historically, that lot had always been parking. It is quite possible that it is zoned for exactly that. Zoning is a matter of public record. Again, my ability is limited as I primarily visit on the weekends. Would one or more of you be willing to visit the code enforcement office at 1 Municipal plaza to obtain the zoning records for that lot as well as the Esperanza lot? While you are at it, it might also be interesting to see what code violations have been issued to those properties (also public record.) Code enforcement seems to have no problem issuing violations for cracked sidewalks outside of your residences, sandwich boards outside of your restaurants, etc. (Look at Werner!) It is reasonable to believe that there *SHOULD* be violations on these properties. Amongst many things, broken fencing, damaged and non-existent sidewalks come to mind. Knowledge is power. If a concerted effort is to go fourth on rectifying these abominations, the facts must be known. For this effort to succeed, one or more of you need to do some data collection. Then follow up at a council meeting and by making formal complaints to code enforcement. I did, as I suggested, make a telephone call to code enforcement regarding the staging area. I received voice mail. Since I believe that Mr. Grey is still out on a paid leave while he defends his conduct unbecoming charge, I will also send a written complaint to Asbury Park City Hall, One Municipal Plaza, Asbury Park, NJ 07712, ATTN: Code Enforcement. I urge you to do the same. I have been following up with the City Council for many months now on that staging area, a little backup would be nice. Jack is correct, nothing will be accomplished by complaining to ourselves.

[AsburyPark] Re: The Esperanza and the lot behind the Empress
So, where are our team members? Honestly, we only need a few at this point: One person to investigate whether or not code violations have been issued (all over the City), one person to get the current zoning of the properties and one person to go to a Council meeting. The rest of us need to make official complaints to the code enforcement department (and maybe the City Manager?) Violations either cause compliance or fines - even sometimes jail time. Remember, the City needs money. If our pal Werner can do jail time and pay $19k in fines, these other violators should do the same. I have pursued the clean-up of the lot behind the Empress Hotel.

It's better then it was in recent years, but nothing like what it could be.

Obviously you don't know much about Springsteen and his connection to the city. His most famous album is callled Greetings from Asbury Park and the album cover is a classic post card from it's heyday. He rose up in the scene playing at local clubs, most of which no longer exist. His name is inextricably associated with the city. We all have different likes and dislikes, and there's nothing wrong with expressing that. You ask me what I like about AP? Plenty. I love my classic apartment and being so close to the beach for a reasonable price. I love the architecture of Convention Hall and the acoustics of The Paramount. I love The Saint, where I work. I absolutely love Cookman Avenue because it still has a classic look with character. But, i greatly dislike the way the boardwalk pavilions have been renovated. It says nothing at all to me. I don't like the architecture at all. I see a strip mall, but that's just me. I greatly dislike the fact that the band shell has been eliminated and that nobody is taking MM to task about it.

[AsburyPark] Re: Why was a dumpster buried at the Met hotel site?
Hmm, I had to give this a few moments of thought, but I may be on to something. That red dumpster has annoyed me too and I don't even live in the city. Thinking back to my frustration, I believe that I had wondered how and why someone would allow a dumpster to sit there for so long. Dumpsters are rented and the longer that they sit there, the more they cost. I recall wondering why Christiello - or whomever was paying for that big red eyesore had not had it removed. I don't know who's dumpster it is/was, but it was clearly not a DeLisa dumpster. Knowing (and assuming) that Christiello is from Morristown, the Carter might not have been local. So, let's suppose that the business of being Mayor of Morristown distracts a person enough to have forgotten that there was a red dumpster working up a large rental bill in Asbury Park. The bill goes to collections and a phone call is placed. The Billee calls one of thier friends and ask then to make the dumpster disappear so that the billee can report to the Carter that they have no idea where it went, Gee, I thought you took it away. Dumpster gets buried, proof is on the Carter, billee is laughing privately. Hinge's friend foil the plot. I looked through that dumpster.

[AsburyPark] Re: A black eye
Wow! I was in the Arcade at the same time and must have still been inside when this happened. Aside from one incident a few years ago, I have never been approached in AP for handouts. I read your post and I wondered why; if I was practically in the same place at the same time and wandered all over that area, I was not approached. I may have an answer for that. When in AP, I almost always have a very visible camera either in my hand or on my shoulder. Take your friends out again, but bring a camera, even if it is trash. Keep it visible and I'll bet that your friends will not be approached. Panhandlers would be wary of having their picture taken. I am sorry that I wasn't able to get a picture for you!

No sooner had we taken 20 steps out of The Arcade, I glanced back to see my party had been approached and then detained by two women (late teens early twenties) who were adamant about their wanting 50 cent from each of us.

[AsburyPark] Re: Happy Turkey Day..
Hi New Beetoap, I have been compared with you by at least one person in this group and I feel the need to share with your observations. - We are both relatively new to AP - Neither of us lives within the City of AP. - We both make occasional visits (I suspect that I visit more often than you do, I may be wrong.) Here is my story: I visited AP for the first time in 1999. After a nearly 4 hour trip to Six Flags and dealing with a rainy day, I called a former co- worker from Morristown and asked if there was ANYTHING else to do in the area. I was encouraged to visit Paradise in Asbury Park. I had never heard of Asbury Park, NJ. I had three friends with me and I followed the directions precisely (no GPS's back then.) My friends were very vocal as we drove east on Asbury Avenue: What is this, Bosnia?; There are better places in Sarajevo. I parked the car and we all stared at Paradise. It was an Oasis in a sea of crap. That was 1999. I stepped out of my car onto a TILED parking lot knowing NOTHING about A.P., I did not realize that I was standing on the former floor tile of the Plaza Hotel. I actually thought that the parking lot had been tiled. THEN, I saw The Palace. It scared the crap out of me in the dark! Yes, Paradise was terrific, but I could not get the rest of A.P. out of my mind. I have spent the last 8 years learning as much as I can about the former Jewel of the Jersey Shore. I agree with you, there have been many un-truths in advertising. Hell, if Kellogg's changes the picture on the box of Cornflakes, they can legally call the product New and Improved! Sure, dates have been missed, there are always obstacles to overcome and it all takes time. I am hoping that you realize that when you are critical of Asbury Park - specifically in this Yahoo Group that you are not being critical of the Development Team or the City - you are being critical of the residents and the fans of Asbury Park. The majority of the residents of Asbury Park, until very recently, lived in a city which was spiraling into decline. When you post here and challenge the milestones (I agree that they are late in coming), you are in a way degrading the hope of a LOT of very hopeful people. I recall when Charlie was posting regularly and he had some disdain, I would try to encourage Charlie to go out, meet and talk to the people of Asbury Park. New Bee, you would not believe what wonderful people are in Asbury Park! Charlie seems to be away, but I hope that he got to meet as many special people as I have met. I encourage you to visit Asbury Park more often and to actually meet the people of Asbury Park. You will discover that these people are optimistic for the first time in decades. You appear to have an issue with improvements not happening on- time... SHIT... the people of Asbury Park see it so differently - and so do I! When the City that you love has been in a backward spiral, any millimeter forward is a good thing. Is this a historic restoration, yes and no. I would be remiss if not mentioning Werner. Werner would say no and yes... possibly, simply NO. I guess that I have a different take on that. Should it be historically restored? Well, I am not sure... should history live on? Yes! I believe in Werner. New Beetoap, you cannot change A.P., or the pace that the changes are happening... I visit as regularly as I can, I spend time with the people of Asbury Park and I encourage you to do the same. We walk the boards, talk about what we like and dislike and I hope for the best for the City and its residents. Thing ARE changing and those things have very little to do with the Boardwalk. When did we last hear Hinge mention front-yard prostitutes or garbage on his lawn? When was the most recent murder? What about Library Square Park? Local residents are bringing their kids to AP at NIGHT! Maybe YOU do not see change, but I do. I am not sure that I like being compared to you, but I certainly hope that I have explained why. Asbury Park is more than a destination with a Kick-Ass history. Asbury Park is a History-Rich City of people whom deserve the respect and our support to make new history. Just to name a few valuable causes in the city: The Asbury Park Little League. The Bike Church. ARTSCAP. MANY more! If you really have a love of this city, please look outside of the boardwalk box and re-focus your attention in the REAL city..

Exactly. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cwpvt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't think anyone wants the city to be dark and unsafe, what I object to, are the types of lighting. Parts of town look like a railyard, and nothing looks warm and inviting under mercury vapor street lighting. You could twice as much light of the proper type on the boardwalk and it would feel more inviting. Whith the super tall streetlamps that are there now, you have pools of very ugly dazzling light, then pools of shadow all down the boardwalk. Lower, more attactive poles, with a yellow tinged light would make the place safer and more attractive. Like I said before, the two, bright blue/white, humming floodlights on the north side of the Casino are a very good, bad example. The rest of the OG boardwalk is well lit, with simple low lights, but it is a comforting attracive lighting, that also gives the feeling of safety. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, wernerapnj wernerapnj@ wrote: Things were done a certain way in 1900 Therefore - it should be done that way now.

It's the season and real smart they can turn the arcade into a shopping/entertainment center - in December.

[AsburyPark] Re: Stone Pony Closing for Repairs....
Long before James A. Bradley was even born, Cobblers were crafting shoes and boots for communities when the family of the Cobbler walked barefoot or in less than comfortable footwear. Werner has a personal situation, exacerbated by personal and offical attacks, yet still shares his wisdom for the greater good of the city. Let us recall that those attacks have cost Werner money and esteem. I ask all of you to put yourselves in Werner's shoes and think again. How many of us have actually been forced into a corner without a resource but are still willing to share our knowledge. Not me, well, maybe, I have learned from a great teacher. With a few exceptions that I am aware of, many of Werner's critics on this forum have never met Werner. I have. Werner could win the majority of debates and if he lost, would conceded with grandeur. My best advice to all of you is that if you choose to attack, make certain that your know your opponent well. That man in the scary house might actualy be the guy watching your back! As we watch the economy bundgy jumping, we must realize that any one of us may face the budget that Werner deals with daily. Would any of YOU be willing to take time away from your own situation to attempt to better the situation of those around you? Would you? This is just my opinion, but please try to think out of the box.

The Holy Cross Celebration and Blessing of the Waters in Asbury Park was instituted by the then Archbishop of North and South America and later Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras in 1947, with the prayer that the world's oceans, which connect all peoples of the Earth, could also become vessels that transmit the hope and triumph of Christ's Cross. The Holy Cross Celebration in Asbury Park, NJ, held annually in September on the first Sunday following the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, is considered to be one of the watershed and joyous events of the New Ecclesiastical Year for the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Jersey, and as such, draws Orthodox Faithful from throughout the Metropolitan area who join together in prayer as the one Body of Christ.

Wow, Charlie, Your opinions seem to change more frequently than ocean breezes! It was not too long ago that you claimed that there was so little to DO on the boardwalk that people would not spend time there but would move on to more exciting places. Tonight you are amazed by Boardwalk Magic. Hmmm. Possibly you are enjoying yourself more in Asbury Park recently. The North Side of North Beach Facing Ocean Avenue that you ask about . North Beach faces Ocean Avenue on the EAST side; get a reliable compass! (Then again, sandpiper got west and east confused.) I have been told by a terrific source that the residents in those units took on a whole lot of water during the fiercer rainstorms this year. Yes, North Beach is leaking and the work that you see is correcting that particular problem. If people are complaining, there must be residents in North Beach. I took a tour of Wesley Grove this year, it is certainly not full, but people DO live there. Since neither of us live there, our place is to observe, comment and appreciate. There is only one Asbury Park and it does not have to be there for everyone to enjoy. The people of Asbury Park are doing their best so that we can enjoy their City. As always, I encourage you to TALK with the people of Asbury Park when you visit, you will learn many things. That's how I learned about the leakage at North Beach and that was over a month ago. Remember that nice Blue wall that you like so much might be a Red wall tomorrow. Things change!

Does anyone know what teh status of North Beach is?? It doesn't look too lived in yet! Also, i've been trying to figure out what happened to the north side of north beach, facing Ocean ave. Major stucco re plastering for the last month? Any ideas on what happened? I think there's going to be a big problem with the condos. The ones built don't seem to be selling How does anyone figure the massive amount yet to come will sell either? We will just have to wait and see how all that works out. But, weather the condos come or they don't. The magic going on on the boardwalk tonight shows the condos have nothing to do with it. Condos or no condos, the boardwalk will always have stuff going on. So what if there are condos a few blocks away, or upstairs on Ocean ave.

[AsburyPark] Re: The lights at the new Stone Pony parking lot
Jack, I understand your work schedule, but at my last tally, (a few days ago) there were 339 NON-BOUNCING members in this group. Not all group members are residents, but I am willing to bet that many are. Why is it that the many pertinent issues voiced in this group are not voiced at the Council mettings? The educated answer to that is that people are not attending. I could take a day off monthly to drive down and hold hands with Rita to loudly say WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? But I would not affect anything because I am not a resident. I do listen to the Council meeting minutes (thank you Maureen) and I long to be a resident. I did not intend to single you out Jack, I was just lamenting over the lack of participation in the Council meetings in general. Residents of Asbury Park, make your voices heard!

Werner Here is what I can share: -Sales tax at The Empress was $19.53 per night. -Occupancy tax at The Empress was $13.95 per night. The Empress sold all 101 rooms. The promoters say that 3000 tickets were sold for Sand Blast on Saturday. Even if 1/2 of those people bought Beach Badges at $5 per, that would be $7,500 - No tax was charged for admission to Sand Blast, $10 of each ticket was donated to the Human Rights Campaign. - A $10 recommended donation was collected to those who chose to give it at the Kick off Party on Friday night, I believe that the donations went to the Asbury Park Marketing Committee. The businesses on Cookman Ave. seemed busy, I am sure money was made there. I wonder how many ices were sold? How many drinks were purchased (LOTS).

I'm curious how folks feel about that big blue screen that, according to your caption, was put up so people who didn't pay to get into the party couldn't see. My comment was based upon a conversation that I was privy to between the promoter and employees of Madison Marquette at the Wonderbar. Did it cover just the area of the dance party? Or was it up all the way between CH and the Casino? Or even halfway? I guess if it was just cordoning off a few dozen feet that's okay, but it wouldn't send the best message if they start limiting the view of the Atlantic to the privileged few. But again, the crowds were good. It covered only the area of the 5th Avenue Beach. From the comments that I am receiving on my photos, people liked peeking over! Are those wood boards on top of the oceanside wall of the First Avenue Pavilion going to become anything? I hope they're not sticking a permanent bus shelter type overhang there. Retractable awnings would be better. Corazza needs a more lively color too. Maybe aquamarine for the Blue Bishops? I assume that you are talking about THESE boards (plywood): a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/dapaw/2690865640/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dapaw/2690865640/ title=Bodega by dapawprint, on Flickrimg src=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3003/2690865640_b5b41818c2.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3003/2690865640_b5b41818c2.jpg width=500 height=375 alt=Bodega //a Hard canopies, in a wave design are supposed to attach to the plywood. It's cool to see the pride flags on the boardwalk. Does MM plan to put other flags up throughout the season? Like these state and American flags http://www.asburyboardwalk.com/cards/asburyparkmarine.jpg the city used to fly there? Or maybe flags of different nations during the Olympics? Might be nice. I smiled when I saw this comment. At the Palace, on the Ferris Wheel, each car was named after a popular city in the area. It might be a nice nostalgic token for the developers to display flags reminiscent of that memory. The rainbow flags are used at every Roadtrip. You have a great idea there! Re: The shipping containers. I love a good Cuban sandwich (Zafra in Hoboken...m). But all the fake palm trees and colorful umbrellas in the world won't make these things look any less temporary and, thus, schlocky. There's been talk of reviving the Circuit. Wouldn't putting some of these businesses on Kingsley go a long way toward that end? They tore down the Flamingo anyway. They have the space. And what's going on with that blue shack behind the Pony that's been falling in on itself for 30 years? These businesses could occupy those spaces, you get the ratables plus foot traffic a block back, and you wouldn't lose the sightlines or airflow from the boardwalk. Werner would support your comments, the developers would not. It is interesting that the laws for bicycles and animals are being enforced, but if you look at the new signage, Mr. Bradley's law of No Alcohol East of Ocean Avenue is not being enforced. Placing businesses on Kingsley could allow the law to be enforced and create the foot traffic and re-create the Circuit as you suggest. But so as not to end on a downer, the Beach Bar looks very nice and it's heartening to see so many people and so many businesses in the CH arcade. Reminds me of the old classic car and boat shows there. (hopefully they'll bring those back. Along with the organ concerts http://www.ogcma.org/pages/organrecitals ! [;)] ) And that sandcastle workshop was a great idea. Anybody go to that? Any pics of the results? I regret not getting pictures of the sandcastles! Good to see the volleyball nets up too. With Belmar seemingly intent on alienating its traditional revenue base http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/am-jersey0718,0,1256772.story\ \ , maybe the AP Chamber of Commerce could start writing some friendly letters to the AVP http://web.avp.com/events/index.jsp?eventId=1027 .

[AsburyPark] Re: A couple things before the day gets going....
Some comments to each item below: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1. Roadtrip weekend: Interesting to see how the area where the event was being held was blocked from general view. yes, some people will be offended but life must go on. Doesn't seem like that long ago, but it was, when the city held one of the first gay/lesnian parades on the bw and there weren't tht many merchants (around five of us) and about 10 people on the boardwalk. I remember this one mother grabbing her 2 kids and running off the boardwalk. So why was the event hidden from general view - to shield the event from the public or to let the event be more private (other then those that stood o benches to get a peek..) I believe that it was blocked to encourage people to buy admission tickets so that they could see. I know that the City was not approached for approval to erect the blue screen (the promoter didn't know approval was required - that will change next time.) APPD was telling the people standing on the benches that they could not stand on them (many still did.) 2. Storage containers: They are enabling a few people to runa business on the bw in a sixe that is actually right. a)The organic folks extended their unit on the boardwalk with a guy making waffles / ice cream, On Sunday, the Waffle guy was gone, but Waffles had been added to the Organic menu. b)What with the unit that looks like it became an office or a summer house (next to the 4th ave pav), That's not pop up retail... c)They need some more signage on them (like on the back) Yes. 3) who owns the mini-g - partners or is it leased out? Remember, the city used to collect rent for the use of green spaces. Good question. 4) They need to sell beach badges down by first ave. One people walk from one end of the BW to the other, they are less likely to walk back. That hurts the guy trying down the other end for now. Yes, I heard complaints in that regard. 5) Bathrooms closed at beach bar for Rtrip - MM was putting up signs on O. Ave Public Restrooms. Not sure of the porta potty really counts. That really doesn't fit o the bw today. If you want to do it - bring in a trailer and park it and trhow some plants in front of it. By mid-day, Convention Hall was opened so that people not participating in Sand Blast could use the restroom facilities in CH. The O. Ave sign lead to another sign on the boardwalk which directed people to Convention Hall. There was also a Boardwalk Update flyer available at those horrible white boxes with blue roofs (the info boxes) which detailed what was open on the boardwalk and in the CH arcade. The last lines of the flyer says YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THE PORTA-POTTIES. THERE ARE LOTS OF CLEAN, GENUINE REST-ROOMS JUST INSIDE THE CONVENTION HALL DOORS! (uppercase on the flyer, I am not trying to yell) Otherwise it was a busy weekend down in AP. Drove by paradise Sat night around 1 am and the line was down the block - as were cars parking down cookman and ap ave. Yahoo!
