They did a great job of bringing the wb back to life. It's not the orignial, 
but a facsimly. 
Could it be recreated in name - in the type of music and management? Jsut got 
back from 
Miami. Again, more photos of some great old buildings that were saved in one 
fashion or 
another. Maybe not a cadillac/fleetwood showroom - but rather serving great 
food. New 
disasters being built, some very good new architecture with the look and feel 
of yesterday 
- or is it today? Was I having a drink at the same bar my mother was at for 
honeymoon 
some 50 plus years ago?

For many, mnay years, the WB was gone and not a peep. One big gray box. Give to 
those 
D&L for getting it going. But unless you own the building\, you are at the 
mercy of the 
landlord, developers and politics.

Might be time to try to capitalize on the name and creativity that went with 
it. Heck, I still 
drive by the saint and think its the clover club and doing kamikazies when we 
were 17 and 
grils from bayonne.

That would not only be worthy, but a noble cause.  I say, let's do both!

Hey Gary worry about your shitty newspaper let the Asbury residends
