"The Amusement Park Rises Bold and Stark"




I spent a fair amount of my formative years on the boardwalks of New Jersey, and at times living out the lines from Springsteen ballads. Racing the circuit in Asbury Park in my 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner, "hiding on the backstreets" etc. I thought it was cool at the time, OK, well...I still think it's cool. Yes, I am a fan of Springsteen, but I am also a fan of the turnaround that this stretch of boardwalk is making. It's been through many incarnations, and now seems to be in another revitalization stage. So, once again... Greetings from Asbury Park NJ - Don't "waste your summer prayin' in vain" get down to the beach and check out the boardwalk.
