I was there in '62.. I remember hanging out there, it was great then.. the sounds of WABC.. the music, the era.. it was a different world.. too greed ruined our world, well.. it sure shot our country down.
The racial riots is not what brought Asbury Park down!! It was the crooks that ran the city back then!!! They robbed the city blind and their scapegoats were the people rioting during the racial riots. What a myth and what a tragedy! K.P.
The TOWN isn't a piece of shit you ignorant fool, it's the people who make it so. We need intelligent leaders and an honest desire to make things right. Too long has this town lay in ruins, run by corruption. Let's fix that.
Wow didn't know it stayed the same from way back when. I guess now it's just run down but it's the same buildings. Rep 732

You would think a bomb hit this town when comparing this video to what Asbury looks like now. Things are getting better though!

The "marauding savages" were the politicians that stole every penny from the taxpayers in Asbury Park over the years and left it in ruin.

it's being 'rebuilt' if by 'rebuilt' you mean knocking everything down and building condos.

It didn't "DIE", it was destroyed by gangs of marauding savages in 1970.
