You can say that again. I mean there are several factors playing into the crime, and though its not the biggest factor, I think our city officials are so concerned with parking meters and the waterfront that they forgot about the crime and addressing it
Sure the undercover prostitution bust a few weeks back was nice, but I don't think that one guy (of of the bunch busted)...the 78yr old man was really a threat to the city But the 20 or so youth draped in red on the boardwalk probably is, as well as the same guy slinging rock at sunset park every night, or the two who deal off their porch on comstock I could go on for days Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "oOoOoOo" <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:30:57 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Observations this weekend...- Road Trip BS I understand where you are coming from, but looking at the big picture, its a 4 hr window (7pm-11pm) that CH is closed to the public. I think my guests would be more pissed off if they were mugged or had their car broken into. In my opinion, crime is more of a problem than whether I have to move my blanket 100 ft to the right or have to go to Pop's Garage instead of biggies for clams. --- In [email protected], cbrianwatk...@... wrote: > > From a residents point of view, I agree with you 100%, its ludicris to want > to end any of that stuff, quite frankly its what makes AP so great, however, > look at it from a visitors point of view....... > > I bring my family in from out of town to hit up the beach, and the kids want > to hit Biggies for a quick bite, but now I have to tell my kids NO because > there is a cover charge > > I personally don't agree with shutting down the arcade because of a meet and > greet > > There are plenty of other places that could have happened at besides the > arcade, how about the banquet hall in the Berkely? > > But otherwise I agree with you, its peddie BS to complain about this stuff, > especially when the revenue is there > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > -----Original Message----- > From: "oOoOoOo" <mark07...@...> > Sender: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:02:46 > To: <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Observations this weekend...- Road Trip BS > > All valid points about CH, but we can't stop there.
