Fishman had to see that the passion of the people to restore the Baronet was overwhelming, but why would he care what the people who live work and recreate in AP want. Sadly, the 100 grand we sunk into The Baronet goes to waste and Fishman will one day get his way and knock down a truly historic and a damned beautiful little theatre. Keep hammering away on the above; don't let it fall into a community memory hole. And maybe he won't get his way. As for Rev Kev's remark that the theatre would make a good house of worship. That is just what Asbury needs another non-tax paying entity on the blocks. If anyone who wants to can't find a place to pray in Asbury Park, they must not really want to pray. Nor do we need any more poor spelling in town. (a livly Barronette?) **Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products. (http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007?NCID=aoltop000301) Yahoo!

Gee...thanks Dennis. It kills me to see the theater sitting there rotting away. There is truly no excuse for having a nicely renovated classic theater just sitting there vacant.

The $850,000 renovation of the State Theater, which dates to 1916, when it opened as the Lyric, was led by Mr. Moore.
