Thanks for the link, but it utterly depressed me! I'm not a native, but I love this place, for all it was and what it could be! My kids, grew up here and wherever they live, realize that there's no place like AP, Neptune and Long Branch, for the rich experience of having been young and foolish,

In the eighties when Asbury was still considered questionable, but it had a certain seedy charm, there were many people on the boardwalk. It was very active, the little shops all seemed to do well. It wasn't until the 'last' development scheme failed that the town took a true downward turn.

Additionally, there were no shopping malls, so there was no where else to go anyway. More and more downtown areas are becoming successful because people are getting turned off by the shopping mall idea. It's a regular cycle I think and the tide has turned to more of a downtown preference.
