Awaiting the return of the Glory Days

I'm anxious to learn the details of the new oceanfront redevelopment agreement between Asbury Park and Asbury Partners, due to be announced Wednesday after several delays. We've been keeping a close eye on this one. The future of the project could well hang in the balance.
I feel personally invested in the outcome. Growing up in New Jersey, I spent a lot of time in Asbury Park, as a child, as a teen and a college student, and well into my adult years, mostly to take advantage of the empty beaches and the concerts at various city venues.
In the 1930s, my Dad's parents took him to Asbury Park, commuting by train from East Orange. My aunt and her friend used to vacation at the Berkeley Carteret every year, long after most people stopped coming to Asbury.
For me, Asbury's draw, other than the music and the beach, was its book-end boardwalk buildings - the Casino, Paramount Theater and the Convention Hall, where I spent wonderful summer evenings watching the Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and other terrific acts.
Those bookends - and the entertainment they provided - are vital to recapturing Asbury Park's spirit. If they are restored/redeveloped in a manner befitting their former glory, everything else will fall into place. That must be the priority.
