This was not "typical" but the video does show what was going on in the background. (Warning - vulgar language) See what was really going on behind that blue screen: http://www.edgeboston.com/index.php?ch=parties&sc=&sc2=7&sc3=&id=77794

[AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

John, I think you hit the nail on the head for me. What I still love about AP is Cookman Ave, and the entire area surrounding it. It still retains the AP authenticity that I grew up with. But, for me, it's not just about being sentimental. It's more about uniqueness and diversity. I've traveled

I can't disagree with that Dan. But, I guess I'm not one of those adults, and I doubt the musical direction things we'll be taking are much to my taste either. If it was more Asbury Lanes/The Saint, i'd be psyched, but I think we're heading in a more conservative musical direction. I'm not a f

[AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

Jack, I understand your point and don't disagree with your desire for something of wonder and excitement. However, those other boarkwalks have been done or are in point pleasant for example. I think our boardwalk is moving towards a music oriented boardwalk with lots of variety for adults.

[AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

Dan, I just want our grand old boardwalk back that gives equal time to entertainment for familes and children. Just like on the inside covers of the Helen Pike book. I miss the crackle of shooting galleries, I miss the ionized air smell of bumper cars and the sweet scent of cotton candy and taf

[AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

I was thinking more in terms of look then in content. I'd like to be proven wrong. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect for all the retailers that have opened on our boardwalk. I guess the problem for me is that I'm not easily seduced by the redevelopment. I will always agree that it

[AsburyPark] Unique vs. strip mall

I also wonder why when something unique is planned like having a theatre presentation in the carousel building , nobody mentions it as non-conformist, anti strip mall type thinking. Now i know the retort could be, BECAUSE IT IS A CAROUSEL DUMMY and should house big wooden horses with kids whir

[AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

Jack, I am curious what type of shops should be in the pavillions so they aren't a strip mall? Also, who knows if Gary is telling the truth but if you read the article in the tri city news he does not want to bring in big retailers because he realizes that is not what the boardwalk is about a

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

Jack, It is not a strip mall...yet.  Currently you have mom & pop retailers.  Many are residents of Asbury who want to aid in the rebuilding and have taken risks to create these specility shops.  With that being said, who else would open up stores on the boardwalk/  This is truely the first summ

[AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

I'm sorry that you take issue with my comment, but to me, the 5th Ave. pavilion currently looks like a strip mall. Does it look better yes, but I think it's been ruined. To me, it looks throw together, and not faithfully restored according to the plan. It doesn't even fit into the classic loo

[AsburyPark] Re: Help Need with ReVision's productions of HAIR.

How many strip malls have places like Hot Sand, LaPlaca and two dining establishments that look out onto a beautiful beach/surf. I take issue with that comment. I do agree, however, that the bandshell should have a future and it doesn't seem that way now. Dan S. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroup

Unfortunately I'm at work and I can't turn it up load enough to hear the response. What does it say? It sounds to me like they aren't answering the question Werner posed. Meanwhile, while we're all praising MM for the amazing job they've done, that very praise is going to overshadow the fact t

I'm wondering why this isn't more of an uproar about the current situation with the bandshell. Glenn took a photo that clearly illustrates that heating and a/c units have been placed where at the back of the area where the seats used to be located, as well as a huge A/C unit directly next to

Glenn, Thanks for that full report to John. Although I, too, reveled in all the positive vibe in town 7/18-20, your observations of the contrasts with our northern neighbors was icing on the cake. Looking forward here to more late fireworks, raucous beach parties and everything else tha
