I also remember going to Long Branch when I was a kid (mid-late 70's - wow I feel old now), visiting the haunted mansion, etc... It was well into it's decline but was still a very fun place to go. AP was in a simliar state by then and you could argue all day about which one was dead first,

I think the biggest challenge I have Werner is that the waterfront area's history from the era you rightfully site as the history is just that - history. Unlike Cookman, where much of the infrastructure remained and could be reused, there is not so much left. Rather than a real historical

Well I must say, despite the nostalgic hold the Asbury of old still has on me, I think that this is one of the most lucid, best thought out posts i've seen in awhile about the future of Asbury. Good job. For me, i'll just never understand why the powers the be in AP let all of the old

But what are your feelings about the artists rendering of the redevelopment? Do you see them creating a mall by the sea with very little sensitivity to preserving what little is left of Asbury's heritage? Maybe i'm very much in the minority on this, but I figured I'd put it out there. All I can

Fred, You are incorrect in your assumptions as to what the 'planned' direction was. The plan was not to 'attract people year round' is was to create a year- round residential community. Visitors were not calculated into the mix as evidenced by the planning board testimony. Parking for visitors

Arhythmick, The BC Hotel was pre-existing and had made a comeback over the years in spite of the lack of redevelopment. Its size and use made it undesirable for condemnation. The same for the Empress, it was being rehabed as a gay enclave. They were written into the plan to be saved unless
