I came in 2004, America's Cup was not here until much later. In 2004, there was Harry's Roadhouse, Rock Paper Scissors, Be Green and Janet's boutique on Cookman, with a few other things. When did America's Cup open? 2008? When I first moved here, I just parked on Lake bc there was always parking over there at that time.
Quite honestly, I kind of avoided Cookman BC of the parking situation in more recent years. I could never find a spot and I find that annoying if I just want to run in somewhere for something quick. So, I think it really cuts both ways. --- In [email protected], cbrianwatkins@... wrote: > > Where were these patrons (that are suddenly gone from the downtown) parking > before the meters went into effect? > > > > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis Dubrow <traderdube@...> > Sender: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 08:42:37 > To: <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > Subject: [AsburyPark] 2003 > > Asbury is a ghost town, I spoke to a number of Cookman retailers, business is > down since the meters went into effect.
