I've been saying for years, that Asbury Park is a great place to be, and be seen, in New Jersey.

So does the Boardwalk. (Craig Allen photo)

The Asbury Park Boardwalk is also a great place to shop, and eat ... and have fun.

The Boardwalk is open ...

... and so are its businesses, ready and happy to cater to your wants and needs.

As I was walking the "boards" to the New Jersey Natural Gas Asbury Park Boardwalk Studio, recently, for our New Jersey 101.5 broadcast, I was smiling all the way, seeing so many shops open...and busy.

And, it hit me ... that I should show you.

I tried to take the pictures without being noticed (which can be hard to do when you're wearing a New Jersey 101.5 T-shirt). This isn't every cafe, shop, or business ... but it's most of them...until I got to the broadcast studio between 3rd & 4th Avenues.

Having said that, let's GO:

Grab a drink and the bar, and some shade under an umbrella (Craig Allen photo)

As I continue to stroll ..."I scream, you scream ...

It's good to know that neither I, or my promotions or engineering staff, will have to go far for a hot dog, or a burger ...
