Greetings from Asbury Park

Before Disney World, or Six Flags, Asbury Park in NJ was America's first playland theme park. Ah...beautiful ruins (crack dens nearby) though surrounding neighborhood being revived..

Very strange and styled buildings indeed. Would like to see some more here.

Springsteen at 64. AP survives!

I've heard of it, never been there. I'm with AH--the exterior looks almost industrial.

I hope that means this building will be restored soon. I like it!

Fate of these gorgeous buildings is still being battled out by developers and agencies. While looking through web site of Philly Salvage I stumbled upon the interior and exterior marble and limestone pieces from these old buildings! It would have been a stunning accomplishment if developers/city had found a way to incorporate those one of a kind pieces in any redevelopment that may ever get done in Asbury Park. Loss of history very sad especially since I don't think residents will ever see tax monies to be used for their benefit.
