Of course, what do I know? I'm probably the only person in the world who thinks Asbury Park needs new parking garages on main street. Really bad idea too. Development like that has killed many Main Streets. Parking is better as part of new infill development off of Main. Or, along the

The questions are what do we do in the meantime and where do you build the new one? The problem is we do not own much land. Clearly we need a temporary solution whether the current building is fixed or to build a new one. My god, leave you guys alone for an afternoon and all hell breaks loose–32
