Re: [AsburyPark] Be happy AP is what it is and not
But some parts of Camden look remarkably better now than anytime else in my life. Take the area around Rutgers Camden - it's got new sidewalks, new buildings, and actually looks safe. I was amazed when I went back a few months ago for the first time in about a decade. Problem is that there's still a lot of places that look horrible and look very unsafe.
