Jack,
The displeasure with the pavailion was prevalant in discussion within
the hotel on July 4th weekend; both staff and guests were talking
about it. I also noticed an item on the last Council Meeting
agaenda Possible litigation: The Empress Hotel, so, I suspect that
it is not a rumor.

Can anybody confirm this?

Three things stand out in that photo. First, the detrioration already
evident (above the garage door) on what was then only an 18-year-old
building.

You might forget a couple things about the first ave pav -
1. There was a ramp that ran about 30 south of the building to the
second floor and the middle of the building had public restrooms
and a stairwell, lifeguard storage room and electric room and a
couple garbage rooms. I know,

I heard the owners of the Empress were in talks with MM about what they
can do
1. in between 3rd ave pav and new water park, the handicap ramp onto
the rear deck also sits about 6 feet into the boardwalk ramps...
2. Someone has to get rid of the portable booths. Why a white booth
with blue roof out in front of Mccloone's - same for the ticket booths.

I don't think the containers are done! They are all white. They look
nothing like the renderings proposed. Of course, we all how pointless some
renderings can be... But the white container is a pretty far stretch from any
form of the rendering. I think more work is to be done on them.
Downtown is definitely a big part of it, but one thing that many people

I just wanted to remind some of the folks who truly believed that the

do more than condos in my opinion.

Asbury Park appears to be 'Coming Back' because finally the land uses
that I recommended be the first step 6 years ago are finally (late)
coming to fruition.
