The Casino Building and Carousel anchor the
Southern End of the Boardwalk. It serves as the
pathway to neighboring Ocean Grove.
See the picture the above image was taken
from here.
The building is
need of major, major renovations. Someday - Bumper
cars, Funhouses, Shops and perhaps a
"summer" movie theatre. Movies and Ice
Cream as you stroll the Boardwalk with your best
friends.....just like ago, in the following ad......
The Merry-go-Round is long
gone. Sad to say. If you walk around the old
building and listen, you can still here the
laughter and sounds of the Casino.....
The Casino and Casino Carousel History
The Casino, which once contained an Ice Skating Rink,
hosted Roller Derby and Flea Markets is slated to be rebuilt - tore down
for the most part to be rebuilt "architecturally significant".
We will see....
The Casino and neighboring Palace Amusements was used as
the setting for the movie "City
by the Sea" starring Robert DeNiro. Asbury Park is used to
portray a dilapidated Long Beach, NY.
