| The Asbury Park Circle |
| I wrote "hopefully someday the Circle
will disappear. " Then someone wrote in: |

....As a lifetime resident at the 'Jersey
Shore'.
I logged onto your website, and
noticed that someone had typed
"hopefully someday, the circle will
disappear".
I wanted to let that person know,
that the circle is part of Asbury Park's
history....as were the other circles in
New Jersey that were destroyed to make highway
space for the thousands of
(unwanted people in my opinion) flocking
to live here each year. I know
progress must move forward, but I hope
that it is not for the sake of the
almighty buck.
....What's so bad about a circle anyhow?
It is one of the many things that
makes New Jersey a unique place to
live.
Wouldn't it be great to have the only
circle left in NJ?
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
Born and raised at the Jersey Shore.
