Regarding my response to last week's post entitled Baronet Graffiti Cleaned Up, I think everyone can acknowledge that there's a difference between street art and malicious graffiti. I intended to address the latter, specifically the prolific tagging that exists in Asbury, on both public and

Wasn't it you, who said the Munroe Towers should be cleaned? Will clean up my response to you, I sound caustic; don't mean to. Love you and think you're the smartest thing on the planet! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com,

Are you kiddin'? I chuckled at your response about the part, where you spoke to hear yourself, yada, yada! That's why I STOPPED going. Like beating a dead horse! No disrespect, I just have a fatalist attitude! I realize that as good a human being YOU are and the few little gripes, like a

True enough... but let's be realistic. Of that 17k, how many are vocal? How many have a voice, let alone one that's actually heard in what goes on in the rebirth of Asbury Park? And how many of those voices are responsible for the insane Imminent Domain policies, or the comical contracts

Right on! Great post! As one of those 17k people, i've attended council meetings, and i'll be honest, being there felt like a complete waste of my time. The one time I got up and spoke before the council, they sat there and stared at me like see no evil, hear no evil... and I felt like I was

Doesn't Monmouth Cablevision air the meetings? Your citizen journalist idea is a great one and I alluded to something similar in a previous post. If you build up enough of a roster, you wouldn't have to worry about attending EVERY meeting. Folks could divvy up the responsibility. It would be

Chris, In a town, where you can get elected with as little as 400 votes as a low, is incredible! All I have IS a voice! I'm not rich or well connected, so I can bitch all I want, it just doesn't resonate. Now, if I have the ability to raise copious amounts of cash, KNOW people, be WELL
