I totally agree with your post. Even those who still live here, can't afford to. Sad, isn't it? The only people who are excited, are those with a vested interest, have power and money! Like everything else, money talks! You know the rest. Very fine post, indeed. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogr

I still can't understand how a small town, like this is the "lure", for this type of behavior. There are few bars left down on the beach and the new ones, are too upscale, for these folks. They dress funny, like they don't belong, so why here? Just curious and I'm glad they're gone. AP has

Nice post. I completely agree about preserving the musical legacy that put Asbury on the map. Cities like Austin TX get a huge chunk of change every year because of their SXSW festival. It seems to be a no brainer to do the same sort of thing right here in AP. Bring back the concerts on the beach

Dear Friends of Asbury: As far as the Casino goes, it's probably one of the last recognizable Landmarks left in Asbury Park, and well worth saving. This past summer I have visited Asbury quite a few times, I went to the car show and even walked the Board Walk for the first time since 1973. Its t

Tommy, You should take a walk down there and look at the drawing. It looks pretty wonderful to me. In my opinion, if they bring it back to it's original glory it'll be a big improvement to the boardwalk. My only concern is what are they going to put inside the buildings? Just out of curiosity, wh

Hi Chuck, I'm not usually negative about the beachfront. One quirk that I have is my disdain for the Casino. I think we should dump it and build something wonderful there. /I know I stand completely alone on that. //Don't mean to start a flame war over the mertis of the Casino. --- In AsburyP
