Werner, If the idea of revisiting the plan even within the realm of possibility? That's what I'm talking about. I can't believe that the town wouldn't at least want to review the situation again. Sure things are happening but they seem to be happening at a snail's pace and the damn skeleton building is still very much there as a symbol of continued failure. I understand what you're saying. I just can't believe that everybody in town and the people involved in the town (business owners, regulars, etc.) totally understand that tourism is an afterthought. I still remember being on Restore Radio after the publisher in town forgot to take his medicine and lashed out at me in print. Maureen asked if I wanted to discuss the article. I said the only thing I got out of the piece was it became very, very clear that the publisher was coming out AGAINST having Asbury Park be a tourist destination again. The problem is that I think the majority of people do not realize this is happening. I can see where someone with a family would be interested in having the town be more of a family town. But there are plenty of family towns in Monmouth County and there's only one Asbury Park. Only one town with the potential to be of interest to people around the world. Seems like most places play the cards they are dealt but Asbury's choosing to fold. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo!
