What was wanted in AP:
Burned, collapsed or was simply leveled.
One of these days, someone will come up with an entertainment "square" - sure
it will be the "original" - but it sure can tie on the downtown, the boardwalk
and the residential areas. I'd to make it "real" - as I said I'd tie in all
those old AP "brand" names. They might not be in the original, but the theme
can live on.
Shit, even Tillie found a new home on the Wonder Bar - is that right or wrong?
sure sells shirts.... so is Tillie the "face" of AP, the Palace or the WB??
Do a survey one day outside the WB.
There's names I know and names Mario knows even better. Call it fake or
whatever.
It will be ADA compliant, safe and draw a hell of alot of people. Not pier -
but a fun and live entertainment district. That has always been MM's mantra in
their "lifestyle" centers. This could be one that is REAL...and very cool.
We all have visions. glad I don't get excited about them anymore.
Visions need cash. A contempary art musuem, a music museum, a pinball musuem, a
music studio, saving a building, opening a popcorn store or selling something
with AP on it.
It all takes money, time and ingenuity - and the land or building to take a
shot at success or failure.
You can't have a great music destination with no music studio, can you?
Take some of the billions tossed at the schools and use some of that to have
the BOE build a theatre - for the students that can be leased back per event to
any theatre group.....
The problem is, everyone with a vision wants someone to provide prime space for
nothing. Read about every musuem in the US - read about the Guggenheim.
Better yet, try donating time to some cause or board without pulling your hair
out. I'd rather watch sand blow across the beach.
