Wow, I'm sorry to hear that, but glad that it sounds like everyone is ok. I hate to think the answer to what appears to be an attempt by gangs and thugs to infect the boardwalk is to stop doing things like fireworks. Isn't that really just throwing up our hands and saying you win? I don't

Here's a story that hasn't been reported anywhere. Approx. 3 weeks ago, there was an incident at The Beach Bar that's connected to the near riot that occurred after Wed. fireworks. A large group wearing red bandanas went to the Beach Bar, but were denied access. This turned into a large fight

There's a reason why there are dress codes and high prices for drinks. Ashame, because we really love sitting out on the ocean sometimes. Other then that, we had a great bike ride this am. Down the bw, around OG, across the bridge and downtown. On the OG side, there was what may best be

A couple weeks ago, we had some real bad Verizon Wireless service down around the BW and Cookman area. My wife finally called verizon to report the problem. The first girl suggested it was the phone. Told them it wasn't just the one phone, but all. The put a trouble ticket in. The went and

Interesting comment someone made. Can someone define it? I can't say I go out to dinner to often I really enjoy my own food much more. Are boardwalk prices high? How do they compare with the rest of Monmouth County? Is rafferty's high priced or middle of the road? Is the ice cream a fair

So if it was funded, what happened? Was my daughter's story simply a story? Are there any other witnesses (including those in the brickwall and the apartment upstairs ...) The city has spent quite a few dollars on a several marketing campaigns of questionable quality. Maybe it's about time

The problem is the inherent conflict with gentrification. The rich move in and displace the poor. The city, powers that be, investors wants gentrification because it makes money and turns the city around. The community wants it to the extent it makes a community safer, prettier, increases
