"One learns quickly that when merchants are constantly endangered and harassed by the community they serve, that's just the way it is (sort of a: what did you expect, it's Asbury? attitude); but shake up a council member, and now we have a problem!
It should be noted that the climate for this gang to exude it's mayhem was set by the fact that the lights on the boardwalk were out for several blocks; not to mention that the constant battle between the partners and the city certainly played a hand in the lack of (city provided) security on the boardwalk (controlled by the partners; with their own ongoing lack of proper security). I don't know if it's the city's or the partners' responsibility to light the boardwalk, but I lost my life savings as a result of their failure to do so for a few hours. As a pioneering merchant, caught in the middle of their differences, one's safety and business potential are seriously compromised." Yahoo!
