Newbie,
Your point is not lost on me. While I did disagree with you once
when you said the entire redevelopment was to be finished by now, I
don't disagree with your observations about the media statements
regarding Memorial Day.
I'll tell you who else agrees with you. Gary Mottola of Madison
Marquette.
When he first came here I interviewed him for the paper. One of his
complaints was that Asbury had been hyped beyond its repair, and one
poeple came here, they were disappointed and probably would not
return.
I believe that to be the point you are making.
I was surprised too when he started tauting Memorial Day as a finish
point for certain projects. Everyone who is local laughed at the
annoucement. Asbury Park's wheels of progress never move that fast -
too many layers of government.
Another mistake was the "job fair." My office received calls from
people who were promised employment at the job fair, then didn't get
them when buildings and the pool weren't done.
So, I understand what you are saying. You probably were not the only
one to expect a Memorial Day Grand Opening as advertised and were
disappointed when it didn't happen.
