"And just what do you base this conclusion on ? Werner" not sure. no hard facts, just thikings. i think its safe to say when you look around the waterfront the general conclusion is "nothing". sure, the emptiness is nice, and their are some good buildings scattered around. but the general feeling is "nothing". when you add new features like benches or lights, they stand out. they stand out fo the good or bad, but they stand out becasue there is nothing of the same quality anywhere near them. take a look at westly grove, the side facing cookman. it looks like an almost completed city block. clealry it stands out, becasue everything else around is desolate/ incomplete or run down and falling apart. once everything is completed to the degree of the wesely grove, the area will feel whole and complete. your eye wont be drawing in on minor things like benches or lights. of course people will stll have their feelings on these things, good or bad. so it looks like your either going to hate asbury park or love it. however, once the whole area has the feeling of being "whole, or complete" i dont think the lights (for those that dont like them) will stand out as much as they do now once the feeling of complete is acheived (and for those that do like them). and if you like the lights, then they will just add to everything, but again, they wont stand out like they do now. there are quite a few of them though, so we will see. there are a lot on the old cookman too, but i think their spacing is greater by a few feet. still a lot though. they dont stand out though, maybe becasue their old, and adjusted with the eye.
