A former, regular, acoustic, performer at Higgenbottoms has returned to the area after 20 years on the West Coast. In fact, he is a member of the AP Rock and Roll HOF. I'd like to see him get back into the coffehouse scene. Any suggestions? Yahoo! Groups Links * To visit your group

I used to have a fear that Asbury Partners would walk away from the beachfront buildings after making the condo money. After learning more I've corrected that. The goal of Asbury Partners seems to be that they wish to control every commercial establishment from the beach to Grand Avenue.
