Two years later and they still haven't fixed it:

Also, how did DeVito make AP his summer "retreat" if he lived there? 
Retreat would indicate going someplace away from where you live. Same 
with Nicholson (or does driving across the tracks count 
as "retreating"?)

Also, apparently no one ever heard of Asbury Park until 1975, when 
Springsteen "put it on the map". (Poor AP, languishing in obscurity for 
100 years. ;) Dare I mention the album actually came out in '73?)

"The character and history of Asbury Park will be preserved.." it says 
on top of page 3.  How can you preserve something you don't even know?

(I AM stoked to see that jetty though. That must be one amazing set of 
rocks!)
