Holed up in this freezing weather forced me to entertain myself again (I had sworn off) with this group. What do I find? - the ongoing attitude by some that AP is fine the way it is, 'just enjoy it and have fun'. I'll bet that the people (you know who you are) with that attitude know very

Good morning newbee, I was wondering where the anonymous malcontent was. Just to let you know I drove through town and by the boardwalk last night and there were LOTS of people enjoying AP. Spending their money eating and drinking and taking up parking spaces and providing work for all sorts of

Its very clear that you just dont get-it. All the good things you mention have nothing to do with if AP is financially solvent or not. All those good things have nothing to do with if the redevelopment has been a success or not. Its ok to not care about the workings of a town, please

I Tried unsuccessfully to reply to your last post, so here goes. Maybe because your memory reflects my own memories of what Asbury Park WAS, through the eyes of a (then) child, I can relate to your early club days, the music, just about everything, because my kids reflect the exact same things!

You've got to be kidding me. A thriving restaurant/entertainment economy has nothing to do with a town's financial situation? That's deluded, not you, the idea. All you do is berate this town and the people who enjoy and love it. You my friend are a master of projection. Once again I'll try,

You my friend are the master of Ignorance is Bliss. AP is host to the restaurant/entertainment economy you talk about and everything else so dear to you. If the Host dies or suffers serious illness all of that dies or suffers too. My name or where I live doesnt matter. Be glad that some

Of course it matters who you are. Anonymous people can say anything they want without it reflecting on who they are. You could be a disgruntled failure at a business here. You could be a failed council member, someone who lost their home, a disgruntled city employee. That matters. The source of an

I honestly think that it's appalling that the freedom of speech that America's founders fought so hard for has at times become so twisted and ugly. When I see people on the internet posting horrible racist comments about our new president, I simply will not sit back and be silent. I'd love to

Look Jack, the world and Asbury are what they are. I happen to believe that if we want the world to be better WE have to be better. Not the world. Obama isn't our Saviour. Though many seem to behave that way. I am not using your own beliefs against you, you can't be for free speech for only the
