Greetings from Asbury Park, New Jersey (2009 Edition--Happy Mother's Day!)

After a trip to Asbury Park in July 2006, I wrote that if New Jersey got its act together, there were signs that it could soon be great again. (Feel free to take a look here: http://herb-lehman.livejournal.com/59868.html#cutid1Read more... )

Many, many years ago, my Dad kept an apartment down the street from the Stone Pony. From what I remember, he took my Mom on a date there, but he also played frisbee with the Boss on at least one occasion. And, inexplicably, one night my mother wound up driving her car on the boardwalk. She claims it was really foggy and she couldn't see where she was going

Thanks for sharing this -- this is absolutely awesome. I would love to know why your mom was driving on the boardwalk. It's good to know we have another former Jerseyan (Jerseyite?) in our midst.

Wow. I checked out your old blog and the difference really is night and day. I can't wait to see what the rest of it looks like 2 or 3 more years from now.

Given the economy being what it is, perhaps the same. But I wouldn't be complaining.
