To answer your question Gary, I would vote for AP to be a year round residential community.
That of course is the focus of the currnet redevelopment, but I do believe it is mixed use as well. The goal is 450,000 square feet of retail along the ocean and entertainment in the area of the Casino going west down the lake. Sounds like something for everybody. --- In [email protected], Lighty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/16/05 10:28 AM, "bluebishop82" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Oakdorf said of Belmar: > > > > "With nothing to do with your kids at night - why the hell come??" > > > > Nothing to do with you kids in Avon, Allenhurt and Loch Arbor at night > > either, yet they come. > > > > I would say they live there.
