Hey Gang:
Half of me said I won't even dignify the accusations with a response, the other
half of me said, Well, kiddo, you have no choice.
The surest way for someone to attempt to gain unwarranted sympathy is to cry
victim. Claim to be on the receiving end of an unjust act that quite
Well Skip -
As someone who actually LIVES in Asbury Park, and has since the summer of 2000,
I feel completely able to answer the question, Is Asbury Park a better place
to live than it was four years ago?
And the answer, and I realize it's probably not one you want to hear, but it's

Excellent point! Excellent point.
Yes, I've always marveled at the sheer number of different communities that
exist within the relatively tiny space of Asbury Park. Many of which are
represented at the highest level of our local government.
Yes, not all communities exist 100%
All right AsburyCouple!
At last! Someone who recognizes that yes, folks, the glass is half full - not

It's amazing to me to read whine after whine on this board about the negativity
