Keep old HoJo's affordable, family-friendly

A representative for Madison Marquette, the company that will be handling the retail development of Asbury Park's oceanfront, promised the Planning Board this week that it would bring a ''first-class restaurateur'' to the Fifth Avenue Pavilion that once housed Howard Johnson's. By first class, we hope he didn't mean upscale. The old HoJo's is a perfect spot for a casual restaurant - one that caters to people using the beach in the summer and attending events at the Convention Hall and Paramount Theater year-round.
There will be plenty of venues for restaurants with $12 appetizers and lengthy wine lists in the development. This location cries out for something affordable and family-oriented - like a Howard Johnson's.

And I am sure, Mr. Bergmann, that you will be quick to report those Howard Johnson waitresses to the government should they neglect to report every single penny of their tips to the IRS, right? If I recall correctly, you called for citizens to do just that in your February 20th blog.

Yeah, I am sure the wait staff at whatever restaurant they put up will be happy to wait on you.
