[AsburyPark] Re: Bicycles, Parking and Pavillions
In Florida they have bike lanes on the boardwalk. I'd like to have a clearly marked bike and roller blade lane here. Bloomberg recently declared bike lanes green lanes or something like that. Anyway, he painted them green rather than just having them defined by white stripes and pictures of bikes. it's amazing how much more the taxis and cars respect that lane now. They used to just drive right over it and use it for a turning lane. And biking in the street where you can't see the water is not an acceptable substitute for the pleasure of biking on the boardwalk. Now that gas prices are up there's an increase in ridership on NJ transit and people are telling me that I've got it made being able to do everything including go to my beach house by public trans bike. I think this is a marketing opportunity for Asbury, environmental and economic. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer hinge98@ wrote: I agree about the strong and consistant enforcement.

[AsburyPark] Re: after the fact rant
It is really weird. There was a kind of 'maintain radio silence' about it. But the event itself was wonderful and not hurt by it. The only loser was Asbury Park in that the town missed the chance to brag about it. It's like there's a disconnect between what's really great about the area and what people wish was great about the area. As an aside, since I didn't grow up around here I don't know what the town used to be or what it's reputation currently is. But I had to laugh when a friend of mine said, If you don't want to the boardwalk to be cookie cutter, if you want it to reflect the local culture, you should have a Children's Tattoo Parlor...where they can get covered with little, tribal tattoo stickers and get magnet piercing jewelry and little bandannas.

The wild ones are invasive but the cultivated are sterile. I wonder how big the canopy gets in a contained landscaped as opposed to the 50'spread in an open landscape.

[AsburyPark] Fast Growing Empress Trees for Main St. beautification.
I was looking at this site for myself http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/EmpressTree.htm and bought a tree that I'll receive in April so I can't vouch for it yet. I was thinking maybe this would be something good to beautify Main St. We can't look to the landlords to beautify or to new business to come to an ugly street. I can't imagine waiting for the city gov't to get it together to do anything. From what I've read on this listserve that sounds like the way to kill an idea. It seems more effective to take some Green Gorilla type initiative. This sort of thing takes dedicated volunteers esp. if the trees are paid for with a benefit. (I'd donate art, as usual.) I know there are problems with this idea: some landlords don't want trees near their water pipes; the city might destroy the trees saying they have their own comprehensive plan for dealing with city 'hot spots', etc. But if this idea has legs we can figure it out.

[AsburyPark] Re: DL BBQ broke into our yard - olive branch rejected
Maybe you could extend them some kind of olive branch in order to help them become more friendly. I hear ya'. I never found being belligerent to be productive. But this is the second time they've come into our yard without permission. We talked with them about it the first time but perhaps they took politeness as a form of weakness? I've had this happen to me before. You do unto others and set an example of cordial behavior and if the other person is a self serving bully they just see it as a green light for more aggression. The first time someone from DL strolled into our yard it was at the beginning of the summer. My husband was sitting at the picnic table having a cup of coffee and a tattooed, Italian guy twice my husband size, carrying a crowbar, came walking up the little walkway between the houses into our little yard blocking the exit, trapping him. Don't freak out., he says. My husband practically sprayed coffee. What do mean, Don't freak out! My husband went over to talk to them about it but I guess he was too polite or something...anyway, they didn't take the message to heart. So the police did the job for us and they advised us not to speak with them again. When the police get involved with feuding neighbors they only see what happens when the tension escalates. They never see it when people resolve anything on their own through talking. It's kind of like...you don't ask an emergency room nurse which kind of motorcycle she likes best.

[AsburyPark] Re: DL BBQ broke into our yard -draft, letter to Don Sammett
Any comments, corrections, qualifications are greatly appreciated. Now, I'm going to go to work on approaching the owner. Don Sammett Director of Planning and Redevelopment Asbury Park City Hall Fax: 732 502-5738 Dear Don Sammett, We are writing regarding the vent for the meat smoker at D L Barbeque, 1206 Main St. Odors from the smoker vent blow into residential windows. We believe the vent should be above the roofline of neighboring houses and apartments. 1206 Main Street is three stories tall in the front but only one story tall in the back. The vent is in the back of the building, level with the windows of second story apartments and the second story windows of nearby houses, 709 and 709 ½ Fourth Avenue. During the summer we couldn't open the windows while the meat was smoking or our curtains, sheets and pillows would smell like barbeque smoke. Even on beautiful nights we had to close the windows and run the air conditioner, increasing our utility bill. It cost us money so they can make money. We don't know yet how the sound and smell will affect our property values. When we bought our house at 709 Fourth Avenue, this building housed The Mercy Center. Prior to that it was a bakery. Robert Palubinskas sent the fire inspector and fire official regarding uniform fire code, chapter 3, and they found no problem. Prior to that Bill Grey inspected the vent and found it working properly. Because it had been a bakery he felt the vents were grandfathered in. But a meat smoker was not grandfathered in any more than a coffee roaster would be. We understand that Americas Cup had to submit plans for approval before installing its coffee roaster, which vents above the roofline of the adjacent apartments. Asbury Park needs both viable business and stable property values in order to thrive. We are certain that both can work together and in this case I'm hoping something as simple as venting above the roofline will enable that. We look forward to your reply.

[AsburyPark] Re: Anybody check out the Xmas market in CH? Yes, beautiful!
The tree is beautiful. It made me giddy. It was freezing in there though. I wish the bar had hot toddys or they had those big restaurant heaters. Still my husband and I had a few beers, chatted with some real nice folks and then chased each other on the board walk.

[AsburyPark] DL BBQ broke into our yard.
Okay... So we arrive in Asbury on Friday afternoon and our gate was open and the bottom slats are broken off the brace. We go into the backyard and nothing is disturbed except the wall of DL BBQ which now has a piece of cardboard and a scrap of plywood nailed over the window. They didn't even bother to leave a note or lock the gate behind them. They left the gate swinging in the wind, letting any passerby know that we were gone for Thanksgiving. When DL first fired up the smoker and we couldn't open our windows for days we spoke to them about the impact of their vent on the surrounding houses. We were met with blank faced, arrogant indifference and, not surprisingly, that's what we got when we asked about them trespassing on our property. Later, the maitre d'/waiter admitted to coming into our yard but he claimed he didn't break the gate. So we filed a police report and had to have the police go into the restaurant and talk to them. Does anyone know who owns that building now? 1206 Main St. Any advice on this kind of issue is appreciated. Linda Griggs Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: Buy the Coaster read: Main Street as...DL BBQ
I agree Main St. is ugly and it's way too ugly for a point of entry But I envy the people that will be near a market or dress shop. Fasano mentions DL BBQ as a positive move. I wish I could see it that way. That BBQ place opened it's vent on the roof above my backyard. The noise of the vent is like a jet but that doesn't bother me like the smell. We can't open our windows when the smoker is cranked up otherwise our sheets and pillows and curtains will smell like BBQ. We had just finished renovating our house and this is really going to affect our property values. I've got nothing against the owners and cooks. The restaurant business is tough. Good Luck to them but I hope they get to move to Cookman. Anyway they rented the place from Monmouth properties. When we bought our house it was the Mercy Center. Before that it was a bakery. I talked to the inspectors about it, of course, and they agreed it's a bad situation but in AP if something stinks and it's grandfathered in there's no fixing it unlike situations in NYC (23rd st. Crispy Creme was cited and had to vent it's donut grease smell up 8 stories above it's neighbors windows). --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 11/8/2007 7:23:06 P.M.

[AsburyPark] donating art to AP benefits

[AsburyPark] Would web cams help?
If we can't wait for the city to install cameras, would web cams help? Apart from the technical issues, there are the safety issues. If the footage is used in court, and there's a revolving door on prison, could the criminal figure out which house had the camera and come back for revenge? Still, a ring of web cams and signs in the park saying, This park is protected by video surveillance through Neighborhood Watch Could it help? Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Tapitia has a liquor liscence the best waitress in Asbury Park
I love Tapitia. It is my favorite inexpensive restaurant in Asbury Park. I love the oysters with ranchera sauce, the ceviche, the gorditas... The only thing I didn't like about Tapitia was the lack of Margarita. Oh sure, you could order a Squirt and add taquilla but I've never been overly fond of the White Trash Margarita no matter how highly Saveur magazine rates it. Now they have really good margaritas too. And Elizabeth is the best waitress in Asbury Park. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Litter problem easily solved - more public trash cans empty existing ones
I know people try to use the public trash cans because they are always full. The guys at the hardware store have to clean up the spill over all the time. I don't have a car so I walk Main st from house to train and I see every trash can is full and spilling over. Plus there aren't enough trash cans. There isn't one on the corner of Fourth and Main at all. The convenience store owners have a trash can indoors but kids buy candy and get outside before they unwrap it. For an experiment I put a trash can I didn't need by the side of the store. I put cinderblocks in the bottom to keep it from blowing away. A couple of days later it was about 1/2 full of little candy wrappers. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] I bought in Asbury because it's Bike Friendly
I can't state this emphatically enough. My husband and I bought our house in Asbury Park because of the bike friendly attitude of NJT and Asbury Park. We considered buying upstate because that's where most artists are going but we would have had to invest in a car. The country upstate is beautiful. It's all trees and pine needles and water. It smells good. But we bought a urine soaked crack house in Asbury Park because I can bike from the Lower East Side to Penn station, bungee cord my bike to the rack, then bike 5 minutes to the house. It's a shorter commute than driving upstate. It turns out our house had been taken over by dealers and gangs and had created a lot of problems for the neighbors to say the least. So I don't think I'm off base when I say that the entire block of Fourth and Main has benefited from a bike friendly policy. I tell all my friends that are looking for a second home about how great the cycling is. Yahoo!
