[AsburyPark] Re: Asbury Park Metal Container Shops
There are places that protect scenic and historic views. Didn't anyone think of that before putting up those shacks? I've always appreciated when I have good photo opportunities. That fortune teller place is known around the world and certainly should have been protected. Its changed for the worse. It used to be a white building and the one nextdoor (bandstand) was orange. A great classic Asbury image from the boardwalk. Now its blue with a yellow building behind it as viewed looking NW. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Your point about taking that picture is a good one.

I'm sure you know the history and reasoning behind the flared streets between Ocean and Kingsley that correspond to those spaces. Is it worth it lose that air flow and those sightlines in order to gain whatever rent they're making on those containers? That's another point altogether! I think that the thought that went into the initial design of the street plan was visionary. You have to admit that the wide streets at the oceanside do allow some great circulation to the uppper blocks in town,(of which I'm a beneficiary!) If you compare Asbury design to say the obstruction of the oceanfront in Long Branch you can see what extreme building conveysthe beach is only for some people...for example. You raise some good points. I had only been thinking about the facade factor when I initially posted. Open spaces between the pavillions does make sense if you are keeping with historical design standards. It makes additional sense if you keep in mind environmental problems of today. Thanks. Yahoo!

- in Long Branch you can see what extreme building conveysthe beach is only for some people...for example. While the shops in LB (and AP) may be for some people - the beaches aren't and won't be. I've sat in the middle of Pier village on the beach - and it's probably the most diversified beach in M county. And if you want to see how the women from South America wear a bikini - that's the place to go. Drive through Sea Bright - now that's really excluding some people. And I'm one of the some (unless some other one invites me...then I have to decide if I realy feel like being proper all day...or if I want to hear about someone else s problems...) Yahoo!
