Asbury Park about a hundred years ago was the place to be during the summer on the east coast, with huge resort hotels like the Monterey and Berkeley Carteret. It was the summer home for New York and North Jersey elite. In the early 1920's a fire broke out and burnt down much of the resort town, but Asbury Park came back bigger and better, building the casino, the convention hall and countless other landmarks. Asbury Park flourished untill WW II, when the nation was set on defeting the enemy and rationing, and vacations were frowned upon. During the 1950's America was in its golden-age, building highways and other public works, as a result people traveld farther south to warmer places, and with the air travel avalible to the average family, people could fly to places such as Florida. Asbury Park, though not as popular as before, became a place where locals could hang out during hot summer days. Then in the early 1970's race riots drove all the buisness out of the town, the once Asbury Park based Asbury Park Press packed up and left and the formerly great Asbury Park became a ghost town. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's the once great casino fell into decay and the roof finaly collapsed, the convention halls great plaster statues crumbled and the boardwalk shops stood vacent. It stayed this way until the late 1990's when the city started calling for a re-development and officialy in 2001 the development started. Plans are under way to knock down the beachfront and turn it into guess what ......... MORE CONDOS / UPSCALE MINI MALLS! We can not lose Asbury Park to more corporate developers, fast food joints, mini-malls and 7-11's. If you want to keep Asbury Park great and not another cultural waste-land join my group and support a renovation NOT a re- development!
