"…this rumor about orthodox Jews taking over -- along with the
Koreans…the gays …the Italians…Blacks …Haitian…" et al.
Yeah that rumor's been around as long as Larry, Ziggy, Curly and Moe
have been in residence at the 4th Street Pavilion fiddling with paint
chip samples.
Certainly the price is right to pull off that caper, they'd have
little use for the historical buildings; but it's hard to imagine such
an intelligent and politically cognizant people either setting
themselves up for the backlash that would follow, or risking as dumb a
guy as Larry fronting such a hair-brained scheme.
That said, who'd of thought Saas would have tolerated this abortion?

along with "the Koreans are taking over starting at the BC Hotel" and
"the gays are taking over" since I moved to Asbury Park five years
ago. I think there was a rumor that "the Italians are taking over"
when Italians started to move into the Northwest part of town in the
beginning of the Century. There's the "Blacks are taking over" rumor
too... and of course all anyone has to do is look at the size of the
Haitian population to know that "they're taking over too -- did you
know that Creole is the #2 most spoken language in Asbury Park? I've
even heard rumor that New Yorker's from Brooklyn are buying up
property in Asbury Park for "investment purposes." Imaging that!

courtesy to Asbury Park to present their plans for the Neptune section
of Springwood Avenue... They talked about how the relatively small 3.5
block stretch of that one street had just received planning board
approval AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF WORK!!

There's another whole-block project "minutes" away from launch (Metro
Home) and other developers (who are not orthodox jews) are actively
working on the former Salvation Army block.
