I can't believe this.
Fishy and I will be posting about our NY/NJ adventures in PLEBAns when we get the pictures developed, but for now I have to say:
WHAT THE CRAP.
Of course in Asbury Park we went to the Stone Pony. I don't know how it came up with the woman who worked there that we talked to, but apparently the county or whatever government it is wants to tear down the Stone Pony to make condos.
Why? Not because it does bad business. (It doesn't). Not because it's an eyesore (It's not.)
Because the proprietor ppls were told that the Stone Pony isn't considered to be a historic feature of Asbury Park.
So it should be replaced with condos.
Again: WHAT THE CRAP.
Bruce didn't get his start at the Stone Pony, but I think he performed there more than anywhere else or something like that. And it's still hopping with bands. There are ads fer Zakk Wylde, Steel Mill, and local people.
Anyway, we were shocked aboot this.
There's a website for this cause. Asbury Park has been in need of renovation for some time. The Palace and other buildings around it are deserted and maybe should be condemned because they haven't been occupied or taken care of for awhile. This is Bruce's adopted hometown though. I think it matters a lot.
Save the Friggin Stone Pony site
