[AsburyPark] Re: How come no one

Jack,
I agree!  So why aren't well-heeled Thieves like Madoff,  not being
prosecuted?  While this country has taken a giant step in electing
Obama, an everyman from the generation, I thought, years ago would
lead us into seeing the worth of everyone.  A young man from your
generation, with fresh ideas that seem honest on its' face.  Look at
the treatment he's (Madoff), getting for defrauding millions from
honest, hard-working Americans and using them in the biggest Ponzi
scheme perpetrated so far.

As far as some party going posters here, I don't think Obama would
waste $20 bucks on a drink!  Neither would I.  Matter of fact, I
told a very dear friend, that I would concoct my OWN Cosmos myself,
at home!  I don't consider myself cheap, by the fact I own bottles of
scotch worth over $200.US and wines worth over $50. right here!  I
find those prices excessive and I guess though it's whatever the
market will bear, so for those who think it's a bargain, go for it!
I have to smack my own wrist for paying $20 bucks for an absinthe, so
touche!

On a PS, my Bush clock ran out to 00:00 at 12:01 AM, 1/20/08.  Our
long nightmare is OVER!  Putting it and other Obama keepsakes in a
2009 scrapbook.

[AsburyPark] Re: Save GRock

2009-01-22 Thread sharon_b283
Station 101.5 is NJ101.5, the New Jersey Station.  105.3 is classified
as urban/Black radio.  The term Black was coined in 1964, when James
Brown had a hit called Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud.  Saying
that one is Black is a self defining word in the Black Community.  

Even though most of us self define ourselves as African-Americans, the
term Black simplifies who we are.   Because of slavery, most of us
don't know which tribe in Africa we came from.  Better yet, study
Black History and the bizarre system that separated families or better
yet, read up on The Katrina Effect, how Blacks were given one-way
tickets out of town, separating children and pets.

 Interesting you bring up the radio.
 
 This morning, my kids must of had on 101.5 which I guess is mostly 
 african american. The host was talking about how now maybe black 
 kids, especially young men, will look at Obama as a real role model.
 
 He went to say that Philly has only a 48% graduation rate among black 
 males, newark 50%. While he continued talking, he didn't change HIS 
 rap - ain't - I don't know how many times, he do that  - just 
 continued the slang talk while talking about Obama will change and be 
 a leader for young black people. 
 
 Why not start by changing the talk radio lingo?
 
 Another question I've been asking about - Is it me, or has the world 
 changed from african-american to black as referring to obama and 
 the general population. Seems that has been the case the past two 
 weeks. 
 
 Let the educators take over from here.

[AsburyPark] Jack-Memories

2009-01-18 Thread sharon_b283
I Tried unsuccessfully to reply to your last post, so here goes.
Maybe because your memory reflects my own memories of what Asbury Park
WAS, through the eyes of a (then) child, I can relate to your early
club days, the music, just about everything, because my kids reflect
the exact same things!  

This being the weekend of change, I can't, not even once, remember
anything or anyone harboring or showing me any racial animosity, in
AP.  I never heard from my kids that they were treated unfairly.  I
heard after the fact, when I took my kids, sister and niece who were
visiting us in the late 70's, that Asbury Park's Beach was racially
segregated.

In that regard, I'm glad I didn't know this, although I don't dispute
what others have said in that regard.  I have color photos of my kids
on the jetty and when I show them, others ask, where is this?  When
I say Asbury Park, they look stunned!  I say, must have been my
winning smile!  Let's face it, after 5 kids, I was just beginning to
HAVE a body!  Remember, I was a very LATE bloomer!

I have been known, more than once, to sing Born in the USA, out loud
to my kids astonished looks that I actually KNOW the words!  When I
began to repeat rap lyrics, they would feel my forehead!  I'm talking
about Grand Master Flash, not the kind of rap where the B word is
used or other profanities.  I even like Country Music and Country
Comedy or Red Neck Humor!

Jack and others born in the 60's, you're entitled to your memories
just as I loved the days of Howdy Doody, Lucy and the first series of
the Mickey Mouse Club and American Bandstand!  Me?  I was Gene Autry,
the singing cowboy, complete with black outfit, red leather boots and
2 shiny, silver cap pistols!  I lived in a fantasy world!  Sometimes I
still do, but it's OK, because back when I was young, I could always
go there.  I just did.  God Bless!

 Of course AP will be a part of that exhibit.
 And here we are with our most well known and recognizable export,
with nothing.
 And what do we get?
 A boardwalk with mostly failing high end retail, acres of empty
parking lots, and the ugly 
 piece of crap C8 part 2 destined to mar the landscape for an
indefinite time.
 I guess that's what we get when we allow a company who focuses on
malls and retails to

[AsburyPark] Re: Another lost opportunity for AP - Bruce exhibit at RnR HOF

2009-01-16 Thread sharon_b283
Know what?  I'mm old enough to be both of your mothers, but I have 
the same attitude as YOU do!  Nostalgia my you know what!  Those 
were YOUR times, YOUR memories and I don't see a damn thing wrong 
with that!

I can see it through your eyes, as I have kids your age, the whole 
WNEW thing, which coming out of the 60's, I would write the notes to 
Neptune High School allowing my kids to skip to be released for 
a once in a lifetime day!

I received a phone call at my job, because the principal didn't 
believe I wrote it, (the note)! Yes, I was a regular drill sargeant 
at home, because with 5 kids, I didn't see why they couldn't keep 
order at home!  My idea of a good time, was to pack the car and go up 
to Yankee Stadium to see a game or in the summer go to the 
Meadowlands for a Budweiser Beer Fest!  I'm sure my kids thought I 
was a pain in the ass, more than once!  I call it discipline!

You only get one childhood, so why can't it be happy? Anyway, my kids 
still recall many of the group things we did together, especially 
since they didn't have to pay for anything!  I've gotten early 
tans, because one of them was playing Babe Ruth Ball or driving to 
Delaware to see my youngest son run in college.

Oak and Jack, I'm feeling BOTH of you and I'm on the same page as 
you! So what!  Someone in this group always sees what others do or 
feel as insignificant because THEY can't relate, but trust me, I do 
and I'm glad you remember when the drinking age dropped to 18.  Both 
of my sons could then meet up with us and have a drink on who?  Us!  
Of course!  Keep your memories close!  Some of us can't relate, but 
damn it I do!  I still party, have a good time and get my drunk on 
sometimes!  At least I tell the truth!

I never had the guts to go into the Haunted Mansion, but my scary 
girls went and came out all shook up!  I laughed until I cried when I 
was told the rats ran across one daughters feet and she jumped on her 
brothers back for the rest of the ride!

 I also think that in general, college age kids could care less 
about Springsteen music. I 
 was thinking more about his role in music tourism to AP, but who 
knows. I'm probably 
 wrong, and while he's huge in the world, he's not as vital as he 
was during the arena rock 
 days.
 His new CD seems to be disliked even by hardcore fans.
 I definitely agree about the 18 issue. I just made it too. I can 
recall going to The Pour 
 House in Tinton Falls for lunch during my senior year. Those were 
the days.
 I also recall working at the Haunted Mansion. I did that for one 
summer for a whopping 
 $3.10 an hour and loving it. Good times.
 Maybe I'm just too nostalgic. I loved the time period we are 
talking about. Loved working 
 at Criterion Chocolates in 2 locations in AP, 1 in Ocean Grove and 
1 on the LB boardwalk.

It happens because of politics, the publics perception of Asbury, that
it's somehow okay to dump on us!  Don't want to call any names but
certain contractors get ALL of the demolition work around here,
something I've noticed over the decades!  Probably no-bid contracts.
I heard testimony at a few zoning board meetings about illegal dumping
where the riots took place on many of those vacant lots.  Tales of
stoves, refrigerators, etc. dumped, then filled in to make the lots
look level!  No names were provided as to who did the dumping, but I
think the posters here, know exactly who it is!

 Is there any possibility that burying a dumpster at the site was
somehow approved?
 The 2 gentlemen that alerted it to me this morning are completely
credible. They live right 
 next door in the tower, and both said they saw it happen. I was
wondering the same thing 
 when i saw that the dumpster was missing.
 If this was something illegal, how could it happen without being
noticed by anybody from the 
 city?

Probably asbestos debris.

 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.  I am sure that there *could* be toxins 
 in there, but it appeared to be just junk.
 
 It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Oak,
That's why I have a problem wth the phrase single Mom!  For a
stick-in-the-mud-old married lady, single Mom meant an unwed Mother! 
Today, it's any woman raising kids alone.  I prefer divorcee, a once
married woman and widower, meaning the man/woman is dead!

Single Mom, conjures up a lot of negative pictures for me.  Whatever!
 Not familiar with your acronyms either.  Don't know what BK means
since I'm not in the real estate business.  All I know how to do is
read and negotiate contracts and manage projects, thus project
management!  As far as Sears, I guess I was just lucky.  When I left
New Orleans, my washer and dryer, both Sears, lasted 20 years!  I gave
them to my Mom, who had just bought her first home, when she and my
dad divorced and my youngest sister was in her last year of undergrad
in college.

Anything made in China means cheap and poorly made!

 The woman who I know who never married the kids father, but lives

 Men make bad choices as well. Some especially in how they write ):
 
 It's just that some people don't realize or don't care about having a
 responsbility to renting OR owning. The new Landlord Tenant judge is
 african-american. 
 
 NJ has is actually one of the toughest PRO tenant states. And granted
 there are plenty of scum landlords. That's where a town, and those
 with vouchers etc, also have the state inspectors on their side to
 pressure the landlords. 
 
 The landlord has to pay their bills as well. 
 Taxes
 mortgage
 Maitenance
 Insurance
 etc.
 
 Again, the judge made a statement before she starts explaining it
simply. 
 
 Some landlords are there for a couple hundred $. Others more. Some
 even less. 
 
 The system isn't perfect  - far from perfect. And there has been
 plenty of money not just at fed bailouts to corps, but plenty ver the
 years to numerous programs. 
 
 What's that $85millon year to just ap schools - not a bailout to
 property owners in AP? It has to be done and I don't how it can be
 done fairly. Life is not fair I was always told - so work hard.
 
 People that abuse the system make it worse for those truly in need. If
 you have a rent subsidized house in NYC and you sublet it and pocket
 the change - fair or not? IF you rent out a room in a home you get a
 voucher for and don't report it - fair or unfair? If you don't pay
 your rent, tell your landlord (or bank if you own) go ahead and evict
 me and proceed to party in front of that new tv - fair or unfair?
 
 You worked hard and did it right  - so is it fair or unfair? Or is it
 the system.
 
 Did you listen to Obama the other day? It's ugly out there if you're
 in one of thos positons that is being eliminated or you're competing
 against an outside company.

Just going to interject my 2 cents.  As a longtime married, being Gay
is not the same as being mental!  I don't see being Gay as a
condition for one and for another, I don't see it as treatable. 
It is what it is!  I have a tough time as it is being straight!  I've
been through therapy but not for my sexuality.  I have problems
dealing with MY reality, much less someone's elses drives, sexual or
not.  

Since I don't understand for lack of a better word, what it is to be
attracted to the same sex, I don't judge someone as being sick or
mental, if they are or gravitate to a person of the same sex.  Trying
to diagnose someone, is like someone pretending to be a lawyer without
a license!  Since I am not Gay, I don't try to figure it out no more
than the pigmentation of my skin, makes me Black.  Just me thinking
out loud!

 yeah, thats what is so funny. but ideology can make us believe
 anything. I dont' actually doubt that there are people who go into
 therapy identifying as same sex loving and change. Gender and
 sexuality are much more fluid than we like to think. Lots of women
 waffle in the bi scene I imagine.

 Amen! They are some of the sickest mental cases out there. and they

[AsburyPark] Re: Find a New Business Plan before You Vanish

2009-01-08 Thread sharon_b283
Funny, I've kept half of my vinyl collection.  Cheap vinyl can be
found at the Salvation Army on Main St.  I've bought some great
classical and early jazz records.  Just bought one of those vinyl
converter machines that will let you copy your vinyl onto CD's.  Beats
boredom!  The media changed very rapidly in the late 70's from vinyl
to 8-Track, then cassettes, then very rapidly CD's, MP3's, Apple
I-pods, now Blu-Ray!  I give up trying to keep up!

There are also clinic-like physicians on Davis Ave. in Neptune, behind
the Neptune Police Station, adjacent to the Emergency Room at Jersey
Shore Medical Center.  They're either free or pay on a sliding scale.

You can say that again!  I yell back at the TV, when a commentator

more than a puppet for Cheney!  If anything went bad on Bush's
watch, they don't blame Cheney, they blame Bush.  Obama has'nt taken
the oath yet, and already he's being blamed for the
recession/depression.  Bush is still giving billions away to the

[AsburyPark] Re: The Internet and Christmas Day....

2008-12-29 Thread sharon_b283
Great info!  Wasn't online for 2 days, but watched an expose' that
dealt with homeowners and renters being evicted from homes!  (News 12
NJ).  Very sad, in the case of renters who are paid up only to be
given eviction notices because the owner defaulted.  It's against the
law to evict a renter, simply because the owner defaulted.  Didn't
know that and renters should attend whatever workshops available.

When school closed for the holidays, a disabled woman, renting told me
a story about her landlord not providing heat.  This was when the temp
was down to 14-19 degrees.  I advised her to call Fair Housing in
Freehold and to file a complaint with the Asbury Park Police, for the
record.

Also Code enforcement in City Hall should have been notified.  It's
criminal to deprive someone of heat and/or hot water!  The lady didn't
seem to know what her options were.  She is on Section 8 and I
informed her that Uncle Sam had already paid her rent, so under the
law, she should complain to them, also.  Code Enforcement will send a
representative over to the address and survey any violations, contact
the landlord and give them X days, hours or whatever to fix these
problems.

Soft content?  Some of it is downright insulting, IMHO!  They are even
caustic, if they consider you, the enemy!  I've seen TCN go after
some individuals, like a vendetta!  I have to agree with the ad
content.  I remember when the Coaster was free, then was a quarter and
I forget what it costs now.

I find the Coaster to be an alternative newspaper to the Press and
the TCN, which when it began was REALLY good, especially during
political campaigns, to being a gotcha critic and sometime feisty,
like I said to its' perceived enemies.  If they don't like you, they
go after you with a vengeance!  Not the 1st alternative that used
expletives either!  Over all, they've stuck it to City Hall and the
so-called developers, who have done this City in with their carrot
antics and the City has swallowed their lies!  TCN tells it like it is!

 Infrastructure Spending May be Key to Boosting Economy | Online
NewsHour |  
 December 22, 2008 | PBS 
  
 Excerpts:
  
 PAUL SOLMAN: The pockmarked roads of New Jersey, one small argument
for why  
 America desperately needs a massive infrastructure makeoverlike New 
 Jersey's  Pulaski Skyway, a three-and-a-half-mile elevated road
connecting Newark 
 and  Jersey City built in the 1930s.
  
 BRIAN STRIZKI, state transportation engineer, New Jersey: This
bridge is  the 
 same type of bridge that collapsed, the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis.
  
 GOV. JON CORZINE, D-N. J.: We have got the engineering plans. All we
need  is 
 the money to -- and the trigger pull on go-ahead.
  
 PAUL SOLMAN: And it's not just transportation projects that are --
quote --  
 shovel-ready, says Kris Kolluri, New Jersey's former
transportation boss, 
 now  head of school development. 
  
 KRIS KOLLURI, executive officer, New Jersey Schools Development
Authority:  
 In New Jersey alone, the aggregate cost of fixing schools is close
to $25  
 billion.
  
 ED YARDENI, economist: This is not the 1930s, where you had a lot of  
 able-bodied men who were unemployed, and you could send to the
Hoover Dam, and  -- 
 and build the thing. Here, we have got a lot of people in the
services  academy 
 that, they're not shovel-ready.
  
 GOV. JON CORZINE: I don't buy that argument. It's true that somebody
coming  
 out of Wall Street probably isn't going to transfer to the long end
of a  
 shovel.  On the other hand, it strikes me that there are -- with
two-thirds  
 reduction in the amount of homebuilding going on in the country,
there are a lot  
 of people available for these jobs.
 
 PAUL SOLMAN: Isn't this socialism? 
  
 ROBERT FRANK: These are unusual circumstances. So, getting extra
spending  
 into the system really is the imperative right now. It's got to come
from  
 government, at rare moments like this.
  
 If the alternative is to have people sitting idle, then we're better
off in  
 the long run, even if we borrow every nickel to hire the people to
do the  
 work.

2008-12-23 Thread sharon_b283
I just loved this piece!  It says so much about this country and how
even people are disposable.  Yet it seems that these young
entrepreneurs have a Plan B!

Hopefully with this new administration, job creation instead of soup
kitchen lines and despair will cease!  The outgoing administrations
bottom line was me first and all else, you're on your own!  The
YOYO economy.

Comparing this to MM and their insincere and phony way they connived
with Asbury Partners to improve Asbury Park their own way, instead
of the way it should have been done, to keep the historic Asbury Park.
But no, they spoke out of one side of their mouth, while trying to
turn AP into THEIR concept, which is no way, the way this City USED to
look!

Maybe the City will grow a backbone and call MM on promises unkept!

MSNBC says that conservative talk show hosts as well as Republicans
are irrelevant!  To hear Patrick Buchanan say this, unnerved me but as
unrelenting as Limbaugh and Hannity are, they keep excusing
themselves and ignoring public opinion.

Thank them to actually say that the economic turndown was started by a
Democrat!  Everybody but them know it was the Bushes plundering of the
Treasury and tax breaks to their friends and support from voters who
vote against their own best interest are to blame!  The fight continues.

[AsburyPark] Re: AC - Asbury Park Parallels

2008-12-21 Thread sharon_b283
Nice thought, but the thing about living here, is WE have to worry,
since a 13M deficit, will result in loss of some services.  I just
hate it, when someone posts that we shouldn't worry about how Asbury
Park looks, just fiddle while Rome burns, huh?

If you don't live here, please keep your cheeky little criticism to
yourself!  If you want to visit, just visit and don't come down or up
here, with a pen and pad, to note what you don't like about this town.
 It's bad enough, when we ourselves KNOW what SHOULD have been done,
was illegal to have been done, taking liberties with property you
DON'T own, just because you developed a portion of the City.  Nobody
elected YOU, Mr. Developer, so please heed the laws like everybody else!

Some of us DO frequent the restaurants, shops and what have you, but
there are those who just can't afford the high priced drinks and what
passes for food!  I'm not one of them, but I sometimes feel like I'm
being fleeced at the door, so I go elsewhere!  A woman's perogative.
Some of you snotty nosed, corporate types, won't be able to afford
it either when you retire!  No, I don't go to those early bird
senior places, yet!

I found myself in a modest priced restaurant one day and the waitress
asked , do you want the senior special?  I looked puzzled at my
spouse, wondering what the waitress was talking about, then she
realized, I didn't either and explained that on Wednesday, Seniors get
a discount!

Yep, it was Wednesday and I didn't know these deals existed!  I
began paying attention in restaurants since my hair IS gray!  I hadn't
really thought of myself as a Senior until that moment.  Oh well! 
Anyway, Asbury Park USED to be affordable to any income.  It no longer
is, so for those of us who have 10 plus years invested in calling this
place, home, I hope you see the point I'm making.

If AP keeps pricing out long-timers, the economy will force many of us

No, I don't like her because she is phony and superficial.  While
citizens in New Orleans were looting the stores for bread and water,
this high paid woman, was watching Spam-A-Lot on Broadway, wearing
her $1000 dollar pair of shoes!  SHE has the consumer fetish that
Gabrielle speaks about!  Her BOSS, was flying over New Orleans, using
Air Force One, as his taxi!

You?  You don't fit in to Bush's world either!  He needs
SCROOGES/STOOGES, take your pick, to keep us at each others' throats!
 It's working!

There were no reports of looting, as you put it, during the black-out!

 the conscience of a country and government run amok, which is why
 Obama won the election. The American people aren't asleep because we
 voted with our feet. As far as extraordinary thinking, thank Bush for
 thinking that he can run a country on less taxes for the rich, okay? 
 That's why 750 Billion was given away to Wall St. and the industry
 that could use some help was told to go to hell!
 
 Bush is still running amok, giving part of the 750B to the auto
 industry! All of the positions HE gave, were to his friends who had
 NO expertise for the agencies they were hired to run! Ask Condi Rice!
 She can play a MEAN piano, but has NO expertise in the State
 Department! She's too busy proving that she's worthy! Same for the
 singing Attorney General from Missouri, who placed drapes over
 statues he found to be racy in the Halls of Justice, or the short
 Alberto Gonzalez who thought it to be perfectly normal to torture
 prisoners at Abu Graib and Gitmo!
 
 No dear, Bush executed a smooth coup d'etat, when he took office,
 thanks to his father, the former head of the CIA and the Carlyle
 Group, okay? He couldn't do it for himself, but he sure gave Junior
 what he wanted, so appearances aren't what they seem. The Bushes set

[AsburyPark] Re: Star Ledger: Asbury Park revival project still far from finished

2008-12-14 Thread sharon_b283
Who says we're asleep?  1st go 'round with redevelopment back in the
mid 80's went nowhere, with Carabetta declaring bankruptcy, tying the
City up with an entanglement that only Judge Mollen of the Mollen
Commission could UN-tangle by the late 90's!  

The power machine that ran Asbury Park into the ground, was still at
work, until a grassroots group called Asbury United stepped up to the
plate, electing its' 2nd Black Mayor.  The losing ticket not satisfied
with what happened, compiled a report from the Homeowners' group, gave
it to the FBI, resulting in the ousting of the Mayor and eventually
all of the council members that were elected in 1996, through
corruption, including Terry Weldon, the City Manager/Mayor of Ocean
Twp.  He was awarded a pension for being arrested!  Go figure!  In
came 5 who cared or not, contracting with Asbury Partners, who sub
contracted with Madison Marquette, who has been the mover and shaker,
who has done anything so far, but not living up to the original
agreement or resulting in anything to the City for what it gave up!

Now, you have MM interpreting what they can/can't do, altering the
landscape, in their favor, irregardless what the City thought was
going to be a feasible plan agreeable, to the City finally having some
tax ratables on the books, but with so much unfinished and haphazardly
construction unfinished, the old C-8 became the Esperanza or C-8-II! 
Still with me?I'm not an architect, politician, real estate mogul
or any of the people, that move and shake Asbury!  Just a resident,
citizen and taxpayer!  I just have an opinion!  Opinions are like
A$$-holes!  Everybody has one!

Since you were honest enough to voice your displeasure as to why AP
hasn't moved forward, I just gave my opinion, unvarnished as it is.
I also think MM has tried to make an honest attempt to do something!
Remember, I moved to NJ 2 months after the 1970 riot.  It was not
pretty, but the West Side where most of the destruction took place
wasn't and still isn't what it should be.  Kinda like New Orleans
after Katrina, only AP has been wallowing in this shame, almost 40
years!  Those residents who were here, before, during and after me,
really know the score.  Asbury Park is still one of the most beautiful
and historical areas, I've ever seen and I've seen many, so this is
just my 2 cents.  Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa or
whatever you celebrate!

  A year ago, construction ground to a halt on luxury oceanfront 
  condominiums in Asbury Park that had promised to usher in a revival 
  of a city devastated by race riots, political corruption and 
 economic 
  woes. 
  
  A harbinger of the national real estate disaster that was to come, 
  the Esperanza should have been near completion today, but instead 
 the 
  same three stories stand bleakly against the backdrop of a 
 beachfront 
  awaiting tourists. 
  
  The poured-concrete foundation hasn't changed since Hoboken-based 
  Metro Homes gave the stop-work order a year ago Sunday, but the 
  company's president insists he is pressing on with plans for a 
 scaled-
  down version of the high rise. He said work could resume by next 
  summer. 
  
  Our project is far from dead, said Metro Homes president Dean 
  Geibel. We're basically creating a whole new building. 
  
  Held hostage for two decades by ups and downs of the housing 
 market, 
  the city is trying to buck current economic trends and continues to 
  rebuild around the building that takes its name from the Spanish 
 word 
  for hope. 
  
  Surprisingly enough, we're still bringing business into Asbury 
  Park, said Tom Gilmour, director of commerce for the city. A lot 
 of 
  people who wanted to come here got turned off by the high prices 
 and 
  are back. 
  
  Gilmour said Asbury Park has had 17 new storefronts, including 
 seven 
  new restaurants, open on the boardwalk since May. Another seven 
  businesses opened downtown during that same time. 
  
  A year ago, retail space in the city's downtown was slightly less 
  than half full. Now it's about 60 percent occupied, he estimated. 
  Last year, the boardwalk had a nearly 70 percent vacancy rate. Now 
  it's maxed out, Gilmour said.

Just a few words in defense of liberal whites, I live on the East 
Side, in a high rise with people of every color, nationality and
profession.  There are even weekenders from New York who maintain a
weekend apartment here.  The Thurgood Marshall school has all colors
too, whites even!  Lots of them, although the school is predomonantly
Latin American!  Don't know if they're Mexican, Honduran, Columbian or
what, but a lot of Latinos.  Blacks, whites and puerto ricans are the
minority here.

I've donated to Asbury Park Pop Warner, but have yet to view a game. 
Over 60 and arthritic, is why.  I can't weather the cold like I did in
my 20's.  I defend anyone right to not attend for the reason stated
and many in this group WORK while the games are being played.  It's
admirable that you and your family attend, but don't character
assassinate the group because they're not attending.

Knowing me, I'd probably wind up at Jersey Shore Medical with
pneumonia, which I've had bouts with for the past 3 years.  It's no
joke, so I don't attend mainly for that reason.  You tend to paint us

See 'Alpha' Bets Turn Sour. 
Apparently, PERS, the Pennsylvania State Employees Retirement System 
 used a strategy called, portable alpha to finance investments of $9.2 
 billion in hedge-funds. Now PERS could be forced to make cash payments 
 of $2.5 billion or more to Wall St. trading partners, according to the 
 Journal.
Last month Anselm and I argued over whether Capital Guidance is a 
 hedge fund or not. At that time I was concerned that MM's investments 
 here could be in trouble if Capital Guidance were a hedge fund and 
 found its credit lines had dried up, since hedge funds are highly 
 leveraged. Anselm insists Capital Guidance isn't a hedge fund. But the 
 PERS situation is another matter. 
 PERS may have to liquidate some of its investments to shore up its 
 losses. Let's hope Capital Guidance has them locked in for couple of 
 years.  
 Anyone want ot venture forth on this one?

 Here's what I found out:
 
 Because AP is non-partisan, the City Council members have 30 days from
 the resignation to fill the seat. If they don't fill the seat, it
 stays vacant until May's election.
 
 If AP was a partisan town, the political party would put up 3 names
 for the council to choose from.  If the council didn't act in 30 days,
 the party could fill the seat from the 3 names.
 
 So it will be up to Kevin, Jimmy, John,  Ed to determine if they want
 to fill the seat or leave it vacant.
 
 I say fill it to the rim with Amy Quinn or Michael Brim.

I agree!  If you meter the oceanfront, meter ALL of the commercial

 Future parking revenues?
 
 As in the cases I mentioned yesterday, some munis are selling
 (leasing) the rights to future parking revenues. Looks like the going
 rate is about 25,000 per spot for a 75 year period. Additional kickers
 are bumps for a share of overtime fines. So if AP had 1200 spaces
 along the ocean, that would amount to about $37 millon paid upfront
 
 The parking spaces on the street are an asset.
 
 When the esperana was being sold, they were giving one spot.
 Additional spot was I think about $30k. I think dan came up with an
 appraisers method of justifying that cost.
 
 So how about it - should the city look into leasing the rights to
 parking in the city?
 
 Oceanfront spots higher then downtown and main (if it all)..
 
 Be nice not to see employees and owners of the businesses not taking
 up the ocean ave spots..

 From Duke University's   The Sandbox - Recess 
 at   http://tinyurl.com/6m3ccxPosted:  12/4/08
  
  
 We New Jerseyans have thick skin about most offenses to the Garden
State.  
 (Just to be clear: It doesn't smell like garbage, I don't find it
ironic that  
 our state nickname invokes beauty and if New Jersey is the armpit of
America,  
 our glob of a country sure is horizontally inclined.)
 
 
 We'll tolerate most barbs, but don't you dare demean Bruce
Springsteen,  
 because The Boss is ours. He's stitched himself into the fabric of
New Jersey,  
 and by this point he's as culturally ingrained as diners, Tony
Soprano and the  
 neon lights on the boardwalk's tilt-a-whirls down the shore.
 
 
 It doesn't matter that Springsteen became rock and roll's future by
 yearning 
 to leave New Jersey and find himself on the open road, to quit the 
boardwalk 
 scene and pull out of a town full of losers, because even though he
 left... 
 well, he never really did. He still plays rollicking shows in Giants
 Stadium 
 on every tour and, with the E Street Band, awes crowds with rumbling
 sets 
 that include the same hits from those iconic 1970s albums. 
 
 
 The state's true poet laureate is now a revered social critic, and
his  music 
 reflects his age and political activism-and from a selfish
standpoint,  it's 
 simply not as fun to blast the new stuff and sing along even though
you  can't 
 hear your own voice, because it's not that type of music anymore.
There  are 
 no more Thunder Roads for Springsteen to find, only 41 shots for him
to riff  
 on. 
 
 
 Except, that is, for about one month every year, when radio stations
 hide 
 Born in the U.S.A. or The Rising and pull out a dusty track that
hasn't  been 
 played in 11 months.
 
 
 Roy Bittan starts by tickling the piano to conjure bells, and the
crowd  
 roars in hysterical approval. Clarence Clemons does his best
impersonation of  
 Santa Claus and then, beautifully, Springsteen comes in with the
simple words  
 we've all memorized on the notes we all know are coming, yet somehow
feel fresh  
 every year: You better watch out/You better not cry/Better not
pout/I'm 
 telling  you why. 
 
 
 Then it's the crowd's turn, a reincarnation of the  call-and-response 
 Springsteen uses in all of his live shows now. It doesn't  matter if
you're in the 
 car alone or if you're surrounded by thousands at the  Stone Pony in
Asbury 
 Park; you yell, Santa Claus is coming to town! as loud,  as
hoarsely and with as 
 much holiday fervor as you can. Max Weinberg ratchets up  the
percussion, 
 Miami Steve croons in the background, Clarence solos on the 
sax-it's familiar, 
 but invigorating. 
 
 
 It's the best Christmas song of all time, because it captures the
spirit of  
 the holiday season. Find the bells and let loose. Embrace the
company of 
 others.  And for goodness sake, fuhgeddabout the Jersey sneer, and
be thankful the 
 state  is, indeed, not a glorified parking lot.
 
 
 We have, after all, given even the naughtiest of you the gift of 
Springsteen.

I think Werner is the perfect source.  Unless I read it in the
newspaper or see it here, I had generally lost interest until this
past Spring and summer and to my surprise, I saw spruced up
improvements, over all, which is not to say, improvements haven't been
made.

I didn't take into account infrastructure improvements like plumbing,
retooling, refitting, etc.  The new shops are okay, but this is not
the East Village, although, it reminds me of it.  Cookman Ave. is
where I've seen the MOST improvements.  The small businesses and
restaurants are the draw for me.  I'm past the age of wanting to blow
glass, buy overpriced tees and designer clothes that are just
labels, but for the young, Label wearing is still THE thing!

Yep!  Werner, Hinge and Mario are the best sources IMHO.  Although
there are other female posters who know, but don't post that often, so
the aforementioned 3, including Asbury Cheech would be the best
sources.  They attend those council meetings, which I now refuse to
attend.  I swear, if I showed up, they'd start whispering that a

Now THAT, was an AWESOME post!  In a nutshell, you've put a positive
spin, on the reality that is Asbury Park!  The Pop Warner Pee-Wee's
won their championship game and are on their way to Florida!  Asbury
Park's Varsity Football's unbeaten record is no more!  They lost to
Neptune, 6-0  Thanksgiving day!  So Neptune now owns the bragging
rights, for a year!

My Grandson is a senior at Neptune High School and it was his last
game!  What an ending! My adult children, all graduates of Neptune
said it looked like 10,000 people were there! I didn't attend the game
this year, as I got a late start, making pies for friends, for 2 days!

It smells like cinnamon heaven, in here!  Anyway, I am a great
admirer of Werner and you, Glenn!  I live here, but you are half of
the reason, I indulge in visiting the boardwalk!  Being a consummate
shore bird, after Labor Day, I would assume that the sidewalks would
roll up, like they do in neighboring Ocean Grove, Avon, Bradley Beach
and Belmar.  That's what happens there, but MM has expanded Asbury
Park into a year round venue.  

I would think you have to dress like you're in Alaska to take in the
boardwalk, this time of the year.  It's been brutally cold, for the
last 2 weeks and it rained all day today and snowed in Sussex County,
(in the mountains).

I mean, here, those with pets walk their dogs, ride bikes and the
morning walkers are usually down there.  Me?  I am deep into Christmas
decorating and O-D-ing on turkey leftovers!  It's time for egg-nog,
hot chocolate and Southern Comfort!  I've decorated 2 trees, put out
my miniature village, complete with people and a Jazz Band!

I passed Mario's house and it looks like a post card, it's so pretty
and festive!  I wanted to sing Silver Bells and We Need a Little
Christmas, Right this Very Minute, I felt so heartened!  No, you
youngsters can go down to Convention Hall!  I'm keeping my old ass home!

If you young people can brave the cold, I say come on down!  It's
beautiful in Asbury Park at Christmas time.  You can see stately,
tasteful decorations and you can see some very busy, obnoxious ones,
too!  It gives me a good laugh, but you have to give it to the people
who decorate like there's no tomorrow!  The Press put out a very
beautiful publication on what's happening down here for the holidays.

 - 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,

Christmas evolved, the overcommercialization of one of the Churches

  with a blow of his fist. A small fir sprang up in place of the oak,
  which Boniface told the pagans represented Christ.[1] In some
  accounts, Martin Luther is credited with adding lights and 
 decoration
  to fir branches traditionally hung from ceilings.[2]
  
  Condemnation of the Christmas tree as pagan has been based on a
  passage in Jeremiah,
  
  Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be 
 not
  dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at 
 them.
  For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out 
 of
  the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 
 They
  deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and 
 with
  hammers, that it move not. (Jeremiah 10:2-4, KJV).
  
  Christmas traditions in general have often been associated with
  paganism in 19th century scholarship. Robert Chambers in his 1832 
 Book
  of Days notes that the festivities of Christmas originally derived
  from the Roman Saturnalia , had afterwards been intermingled with 
 the
  ceremonies observed by the British Druids at the period of
  winter-solstice, and at a subsequent period became incorporated 
 with
  the grim mythology of the ancient Saxons. Two popular observances
  belonging to Christmas are more especially derived from the 
 worship of
  our pagan ancestors—the hanging up of the mistletoe and the 
 burning of
  the Yule log. Regarding the Christmas tree itself, Chambers notes 
 that
  it seems to be a very ancient custom in Germany, and is probably a
  remnant of the splendid and fanciful pageants of the middle ages.
  Other traditions relating to Christmas that may derive from 
 Germanic
  pagan practices include the Christmas ham, Yule Goat, stuffing
  stockings, elements of Santa Claus and his nocturnal ride through 
 the
  sky, and elements of Alpine folklore.[3]
  
  There are also some accounts that place the earliest Christmas 
 trees
  in the Baltic (variously Estonia or Lativa), while in actuality the
  custom was introduced there in the 1920s.

...And on the 12th Day of Christmas, the Cajuns and the Creoles,
officially roll out that other season; Mardi Gras and culminates on
Ash Wednesday!  Laissez La Bon Ton Rouler!  No fooling!  Mardi Gras
begins on the 12th Night of Christmas and ends at midnight on Fat
Tuesday and all Catholics, hung over or not, go to Mass and received
their ashes!

 2) A more attractive Main Street
 3) A move away from a boardwalk dominated by high end retail
 4) A serious look at moving the boardwalk area in an entertainment

 5) Resolve the fate of the Arthur Pryor bandshell
 6) The city take a serious look at resolving people's concerns with
the lighting issues
 7) The remaining eyesore of the Met Hotel demolished, and the lot
made into a park, or dog 
 run
 
 As a citizen, I'm going to follow up on an idea that I sent to the
AP boardwalk website, and 
 got a favorable response - Making the boardwalk a big, free, WIFI

 that if this idea were to be properly promoted, it would be yet
another attraction for our

[AsburyPark] Re: Stone Pony Closing for Repairs....

2008-11-25 Thread sharon_b283
Glenn,
In defense of Werner, you said a LOT in just a few paragraphs!  Funny,
Jesus was a victim of His own people, too!  This forum, although
mainly about Asbury Park, the City's Redevelopment, the starts, stops,
C8, one and two, the parking meter fiasco, the Wonder Bar, a
successful undertaking, which opened, closed and reopened and on and on.  

Werner, a gifted and talented individual, with a lot to offer in
historical value, gets short shrifted, for a variety of reasons,
mainly by 3 people in this group, who never post unless they want to
put in a dig or criticism, which NOBODY of conscience, cares for and
only divert attention away from REAL issues.  By and large, a private
individual, super intelligent and knowlegable about the historical
aspects of this small city, that a lot of people want to lay claim to.

Then there are others, including myself, who get jumped on, if we
don't agree or have a different point of view, which in America is
allowed by law to agree or disagree, but in this group, it can be
almost fatal!  The powers that be, will have you harrassed, arrested
and jailed, if you don't dance to their particular tune, which now
that Obama has been elected, true justice may prevail and the
gestapo tactics of officials run amok, will end!

There ARE people who agree with everything Werner states!  I'm one of
them!  He is right on point, when he explains WHY the lights for
example, are deficient.  He explains WHY, the Palace SHOULDN'T have
been demolished, JR!  It was a LANDMARK!  It spoke of what Asbury Park
IS/WAS and COULD have been!  We WERE a resort, dotted with small and
large hotels/motels/inns, etc.  A Coney Island, South!

When I read posters speaking of frozen custard, hot dogs and lemonade,
I think of what I found when I moved here, even after the riots!  If
the boardwalk had been demolished, I NEVER would have known!  As a
Catholic, I could never have Madam Marie read my palm, but I wanted
her to; just for fun.  My kids played miniature golf many times,
before it was closed, went to the movies at the Baronet, bowled at
Asbury Lanes.  Kid stuff!

There are some mean spirited people who post in this group, who really
need a life anytime they take an innocent like Werner to pick on! 
Thanks Glenn!

 city.  Let us recall that those attacks have cost Werner money and

 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

 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.

I could never understand how a small place could hold a venue for some

in Asbury Park should be torn down and make way for the new, should
build around and inside to enlarge the place, THEN, what a draw for
the OTHER thing AP is known for, MUSIC!  I could see Bruce re-opening

Sure does!  Hope that springs, that is!  That whole recent episode on
Mary Magdalene, continues to make me question, just what is
Catholicism and why the hell am I so confused?  My faith is one that I
never questioned until REAL life set in.  Here, in Asbury Park, there
were no less than four Catholic Churches, all within walking distance.
 I moved to Neptune from So. Belmar, where I was a member of St.
Rose's Parish.  The other other Catholic Church's were those I read
about in the newspaper, the Press, which was in Asbury at the time.

I first banked at the old Belmar-Wall Bank, on 19th Ave., which was
convenient, but to give myself an excuse to come into Asbury Park, I
switched to First Merchants in Press Plaza, next to the Press!  I
lunched at the little Press Box restaurant, so tiny, you needed a
crowbar to extract yourself from the 2 booths in there.  I was 6
months pregnant and as big as a house!

Asbury Park was cleaning up after the riot that had devastated the
place.  I imagined Asbury Park to be much bigger than it actually was
and natives took me around to show me places that used to be the in
places to be, at the time.  The cleanup is reminiscent of how long
it's taking since Katrina.  S-l-ooo-w!  30 plus years and counting!
Redevelopment has been one huge mess, mismanaged by every
administration, since I arrived here, now some 38 years!

How's that?  I've learned that when money and politics are involved,
you'll get a literal tug of war, with everybody taking credit for the
pluses and none for the minuses.  I was in my late 20's and now I'm in
my 60's!  A lifetime!  I should be pessimistic, but hope springs
eternal!  Naive?  You bet, but I see this generation acting much
faster than mine!

I hated politics and politicians, because they gum up everything! 
I've watched over the years, how politics work and it isn't pretty. 
It's easy to play the blame game, but I wish, just once that something
will come of this one.  Dare I hope?

2008-11-19 Thread sharon_b283
Mario,
If memory serves me right, the only free parking, was at the
mauls, as you call them.  I've always hated the malls, over
downtown, any day.  For years, I shopped in Deal, because Pix Shoes,
formerly of Main st., here had a store over there and a boutique
called the French Connection next door where I bought chic blazers,
sweaters and trousers, when I was in my corporate phase of my life.

I also shopped in Spring Lake, because they had a discount shoe store
there!  By now, you should guess I had a foot fetish!  I did
schlepp up to Woodbridge Center, with the kids to shop at Ohrbach's
and Stern's, because THEY were in that I don't want to look like
everybody else phase!  I hate those kids now, (laughing)!  All the
hoops they had me jumping through and developing a giant ulcer doing
it!  The Varsity Jackets, (4), I bought for them, majorette boots for
my daughter who was in the band front, from Kislin's in Red Bank and
all of the Pop Warner gear I HAD to pay for, Track and Turf shoes from
Bob Kislin's in Ocean Twp.  I'm shit poor, because of it, but as I've
said before, I raised 5 good kids.

I spent money like water, back then, but we were in Church every
Sunday and Midnight Mass, every Christmas and Easter.  Now, I'm a CME
Catholic, Christmas, Mother's Day and Easter!  I was a big fan of
Bamberger's too!  Where I got the patience of being a Mother, I'll
never know and the pets, the kids just had to have, became MY pets to
water, feed and medicate!  The Press did a piece on Bobby Braun,
former basketball player from 1981.  I was at that game in Princeton,
with my 5 kids, husband and kids we had with us from Asbury Park, like
I had nothing to do!  My Darren was a Senior, Glenn was at Stockton
and we had advanced tickets.  People still talk about those days 27
years ago, about a team that was supposed to lose, won 85-65!
You had to be there!

 For me, the most persuasive comments about parking (on both sides of
the  
 issue) are below, following my opining.
  
 I grew up hearing over and over again that a major reason for the 
demise of 
 small town shopping centers was the free and ample parking available
 at the 
 then-new outdoor malls. I think that received wisdom is now called a
 meme.
  
 And then came the even newer enclosed malls, now referred to by some
 as 
 Mauls and air-conditioned hell.
  
 Nostalgia:  Fond memories of being taken by the hand as a kid, 
especially at 
 Christmas time, to Bloomfield Center, downtown Nutley and 
Belleville; and 
 Newark where Bamberger's Thanksgiving/Christmas Parade was 
predominantly 
 Bam's employees before it was gobbled up by Macy's Inc.  No 
promotions for 
 movies, schlock TV, twink idols, or kitschy Disney.  Red and  Green
lighted 
 decorations were draped across our main streets with abandon,  and
no one worried that 
 some drivers might confuse them with the traffic  lights.  Sigh.
  
 When all that disappeared in NJ, my preference was NYC where you
could  still 
 brave the elements and experience what remained of the Grand Old 
Department 
 Stores like B. Altman's where long-time clerks knew their  merchandise.
  
  
 (City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, In the air there's a feeling of 
Christmas, 
 And on every street corner you hear Silver bells, silver bells As the  
 shoppers rush home with their treasures, Hear the snow crunch)
 
  
 But I digress.  That was Then, This is Now.
  
 So, I'm still weighing the strong points below.
  
 As a footnote, I still remember admiring the ad hoc entrepreneurship
by  
 Oceanport's property owners near Monmouth Race Track.  You could
park on  their 
 lawns, even flower beds, for a few bucks more or less, depending on
how  close 
 they were to the main gate.  I started to calculate how many cars 
would fit on 
 my property on my Street of Dreams in Asbury Park.

 It has certainly been poor leadership and decision making. An

 economic sustainability. Failure to protect public assets and the

On the Post itself, there are brick homes built in the 30's and 40's,
fully rehabilitated and are for officers only, but with the BRAC, the
jobs are hopelessly going to Maryland.  (Aberdeen Proving Ground).

The CECOM building across from the HEX cost millions of dollars,

So you lived on Asbury Ave., huh?  Year round, JR? When that north
wind blows off the ocean, I don't think patrons will want to come down
to the boardwalk.  I'm probably wrong!

 Not exactly on the issue yet.
 
  Asbury Park isn't an airport. It's a seaside town thats more 
 residential then tourism 
  oriented. When the tourists go away after the summer is done, that 
 gives the rest of us, 
  WHO LIVE HERE, 9 months to deal with the lighting.
 
 Now you are on the issue.
 
 The philosophy of the Redevelopment Plan is for year-round activity, 
 not the seasonal tourism of the past.  The airport analogy is 
 relevant.
 
  Buy shades - probably the most ridiculous statement you've ever 
 made here. 
 
 When I lived in AP there was a streetlight on the pole right at my 
 bedroom window, and the Freddie's Pizza sign right under that.  I 
 didn't complain to the City or Freddie.
 
 I bought a thick shade.  Not a black-out shade.  Just a normal thick 
 shade did the trick.  I put it up in the morning, pulled it down at 
 night.  I understood I lived in a small City.

So how is this money spent and by whom, to get the same results?
Who is in charge of expediting failure?  His/her head should be
rolling out of City Hall, or is this part of the status quo?  Planned
obsolescence?  I think if we knew half of what goes on down there, May

When I worked for the City Attorney, I can't print what he thought of

When you were growing up, it was a very nice neighborhood.  We spent
our 10th Wedding Anniversary at Freddies and Fredas, was right around
the corner!  Well, the building is still there.  Freda's became
Mishepo's and it's a restaurant, now or was.  You could walk to Mt.
Carmel!

I attended a wedding this past Saturday down in Camden County, at All
Saints Church.  There's nothing like a Catholic wedding with the Mass.
The bridesmaids wore chocolate taffeta dresses, (strapless), with Fall
Bouquets.  The reception was at Luciens Manor in Berlin, NJ. 
Beautiful fresh seafood, oysters and clams on the half shell, jumbo
shrimp, hot and cold buffet, open bar throughout, sit down dinner,
filet mignon and boneless fish.  The dessert room was filled with
miniature Italian pastries, fresh fruit, hot parfaits. You name it,
they had it.  A New York style wedding in NJ, (they're from Staten
Island).  Wish you ALL were there!

Your response begs, what if?  That hasn't occurred yet and please,
name names!  I don't deal in what ifs, just the facts.  I don't use
anonymous sources in my posts, but you're right.  If that imaginary
person protests against the City celebrating Kwanzaa on its' dime, my
answer will come on election day in May.  I will go into the Black
Community on the West Side and ask the voters to speak as they spoke
on Nov. 4th!  The vote speaks volumes!  I'm sure there is someone that
will replace this person easily!  Maybe it'll be ME!

As Columbus Day is important to you, Kwanzaa and its' humble
significance, is important to me.

  Kwanzaa, NO?  I'll bet there'll be a tree lighting, too!  Not a

  Kwanzaa anything!  I have no idea what Neptune has beside a lit tree.
  Ocean Township either but in Allenhurst, the same as Bradley Beach.
  
  Kwanzaa for me, is a personal celebration.  Kwanzaa was a creation to
  allow African Americans to celebrate the Black Family, where small
  inexpensive gifts are presented and the 7 principles are focused on. 
  No more, no less! The Kinara sits on my dining room table with 3 red,
  3 green and a black candle in the center.  Liberation colors.  Since
  we don't know the region of Africa, we were taken from, those colors
  celebrate the red for our blood, the green is for hope and the black
  is for our color, created by Marcus Garvey.
 
 
 The Kwanzaa celebration sounds very personal to you Sharon.  So
 important that others should be respectful of it - allow it to you. 
 Allow your community to celebrate with you.  We should be tolerant and
 gentle with that for sure.
 
 Now imagine a councilman who is not.  Imagine him yelling, veins
 bulging with hate from the dais, demonizing and demoralizing what you
 hold dear. Intolerance x 10.
 Imagine him supporting a non-profit that also says, We will take the
 accutrements fo Kwanzaa, but we declare the very name of it damaged
 and damaging, and will not use it.
 
 Honestly, would you feel put upon?
 
 Would you feel better or worse should the response to your complaints
 be to minimize you further?

 I think it would have been more fair for you to address the entire
 council on this at a meeting. You'd never see any of the other
 councilmen responding here. Keady is no messiah to me, but his
 continuous efforts at outreach and his attention to transparency are
 precisely what governments need. As well as the citizens to pay
attention.
 
 For those of you who love to hate Tommy, and I admit he is a baiter,
 Tommy is not way off in this if in fact the word Christmas has been
 somehow banned from city usage. Jews would flip, African Americans
 would flip and Gay people would flip. PC paranoia can make people lean
 toward fascism just as the right does. Watch that the oppressee in you
 is not becoming the oppressor. Get over your tribal self. 
 
 If you have questioned Columbus day you must tolerate questions of
 Kwanzaa. Did that guy really do that? I will look it up. If anyone
 knows this to be untrue please speak.
 
 Tommy, human beings are violent creatures. We are getting better all
 the time and there is no need to deny colonization was ugly. You can
 still celebrate America and tell a little more of the truth about it.
 I know it has ugliness AND beauty, just like everyone of us.
 
 Jim's suggestion for going over items line by line would, I think
 force all this energy into something more productive and free from
 personalizing (which should be called ego baiting). Probably be
 interesting as well. That way we could actually know what is being
 spent on these events, if anything. 
 
 I really did enjoy reading this thread.  Tommy and Jim's intelligence
 and frat boy spats, the gang up on Tommy, Franks funny visuals,
 Sharon's description of Kwanzaa made me teary, Oakdorf's hilarious
 interjections and the grunts from jersy john, mike and jack..BTW Jack,
 Tommy got you on that. Really funny. Much better than anyone else's
story.
 
 I need to express my genuine affection and gratitude for this
 community and it is the thankful season. So thank you!

since Obama WON, everyone wants to claim a piece of him.  He claims
African-American because it's PC, but his background is West Indian.

He's a butt-kisser, than got a rude awakening!  A backhand slap from
the very people he paid homage to.  Now, he, Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al
and Farrakhan, ALL want a piece of this quiet, studious and thoughtful
husband, father and believer in Democracy for all, not just for some.
 He even believes in people like you!  So much for that!  Keep
