Dear Friends and Family:

If you are like me you are wondering where spring is. Its here, just a little hard to find. So it has not been great beach weather, but here in Asbury Park, we don't need the beach to have a thousand and one things to do.

This weekend is the Wave Gathering, a great music festival. Many of the shops and restaurants in town will have FREE live music. At Plan B we have music Friday Night, Saturday Night and Sunday for brunch. Saturday will bring a street festival to Cookman Ave.. with food and music. Entry to most of this festival is FREE.

Also FREE, is a walk through town and the boardwalk. There are so many really great shops and services. In walking around this week, I happened upon a new shop, in the SHOPS AT THE ARCADE, that I didn't know was there...a shop of drums... beautiful pieces of art. Since you can't really sit on the beach, take time to walk Bangs,Mattison,and Cookman, and see what really makes Asbury Park a great destination. Talk to all these shop keepers... some really great stories...

...

Don't forget DINNER AND A MOVIE, Thursday night. $25.00 gets you a 3 course dinner and the movie. Contact The Showroom, www.showroomap.com for tickets. Sunday evening we are hosting a GHOST HUNT and Dinner. Tickets are $50.00. Contact Paranormal Books and Curiosities for tickets and information www.paranormalbooksnj.com.

This weekend will also be the opening of La Petite Mort...A Collection of Erotica at Parlor Gallery.

Restaurant Plan B will be open for Father's Day Brunch and Dinner. Reservations are accepted.

We are continuing our best deal is town, PRIX FIXE, Tuesday - Thursday 25.00 4 course dinner.

Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday beginning at 10am.

So who needs the sun...there isn't enough time to see everything Asbury Park has to offer. And don't forget. FREE PARKING downtown and the Bangs Ave garage is open FRIDAY-SUNDAY, thanks to the generosity of some downtown businesses.

See you in town.

Summer 2008 on the Asbury Park Boardwalk

Wow.

I just got done telling someone I was around 3 when my parents first took me down to the Asbury Park Boardwalk. That was 1964.

In less then two weeks, my daughter graduates high school. It seems like yesterday that I asked her to write her opinions of what was then a lost Cookman Ave and Boardwalk. We'd park around the Palace or she'd go explore the old Howard Johnson's ramps. I'd tell her and my son ghost stories.

But that was the summer of 2002.

As each summer passed, I would tell them to just wait and see. Each summer passed with bits of progress here on there. Then one day, we were all eating dinner at Bistro Ole. Then the original Harry's Roadhouse. Then The Brickwall.

I sent a friend of mine who couldn't find a dress for her dance recital to Allen and Suzi on Cookman. She found two dresses and wound up winning around 13 ribbons in her competition.

So here comes summer of 2008. Madison Marquette, as the new partner in the redevelopment, presented plans a few short months ago to rehab the pavilions along the boardwalk. A new July 4 target date look like a reality as work continues.

A host of new shops and events will be here. The boardwalk will look and feel new. New streets, parking lots and much more. A new mini-golf course.

It's new. It's exciting. It's the new Asbury Park Boardwalk.

Take a drive. Spend a day or a summer.

Now you can.
