Asbury Park

Besides having a close to always empty beach/boardwalk, Asbury Park is fun to explore. Look around at all of the old buildings, and just look into it’s history. It’s such an interesting place, I highly suggest exploring your way to the roof of convention hall! I try to get to Asbury about once a month, and there’s always something new to see!

The last time I went there was the first time I went there. It was amazing to see all those buildings and all that history you could just tell it had. It was just amazing the feeling you could get. It was crazy to see how you could just tell that this little beach town used to be so alive at one time, and now it has dulled down. Its crazy to see. I loved the nostlgia that was there.

All the cool places are closing! Stony Pony – gone! Wonderbar – gone! The HoJo – Gone! They’re building condos everywhere. I miss doing Big Art Shows There. It was like a big, defunct old carnival on the beach.

I went here mainly because Springseen is from there.

I generally feel a bit melancholy when walking the boardwalk here nowadays. When I was little, I remember riding some rides that were old enough that my mother rode them when she was little. It made for some great family photos.
