Direct and on point, without all the local stickyness of 'its better,
I like that, they are spending money...etc'. 

As City Historian I advocated for the Casino to be the FIRST thing
addressed. At the time it was still Public Property and NOT tied up in
litigation.

There were Federal and State Grant monies available for restoration.
The Casino is the beachside "front door" to Asbury Park. Thats where
Berman Development Co. would have made the largest impact.
Unfortunately the new council went the 'Weldon Way'

One would think that if the 'Developers' have the money they claim it
would serve them well to start restoring the part that's left at the
very least.

They are mandated to restore the exterior shell to its original
grandeur. Whats the schedule on that ?
