Thank you for signing my
guest book!
In October 2007, I closed my
GuestbookDepot service, one of the first (and best) guestbook programs on the
web. But free (without advertising pop-ups) comes at a price in 2007 -
thanks to spam! So, I saved all my guest book entries before starting up a
new book. Here's what visitors have had to say since 2002. By the
way, if you signed the guestbook with your email address, it is included as a
link from your name (I took off the actual addresses when I created this archive
of entries).

As a high school student attending Keyport H.S. (1970-74) my best friend
(Jim Sheridan) and I used to skip school then catch the train in Matawan and
head to Asbury Park. That was our destination of choice, even now I don't know
why, there was just that attraction. We even went as far as riding our
bicycles there and back in one day (all for the reward of getting a free coke
from the local pizza place). As we were discussing, we made Asbury Park famous
before Bruce Springsteen, because everybody in school knew that if we weren't
in school, we were probably at Asbury Park, doing nothing in particular,
except creating great memories. I do have some pictures I took from my last
visit (2003) if anybody's interested, including one of The Palace. I rode
thru, stopping every now and then, just trying to preserve some of those
memories. Well, I guess there's still Seaside Heights :)

Many years ago when I was about 8-11 years old my family went to Asbury
Park every summer. My Dad woke me up at 6AM each morning to watch the British
Navy train at the Berkeley Carteret Hotel in Asbury Prk, NJ. I also played
miniature golf and rode the paddle boats.

Between 1975 and 1977, I was a bartender at a gay club called the Odyssey.
It was one of two clubs (besides the baths) in Asbury Park at the time. It was
Disco's prime time. On the weekends you couldn't move in the club and the
crowd spilled out onto the sidewalks. It was without a doubt one of the best
times of my life. Play all night and lay on the beach all day.

Comments:
Some of my favorite memories are going to Palace Amusements with my Poppop
when I was 5 or 6 and seeing the scary King Kong monkey. I loved riding the
ferris wheel and when you get to the top, you could see the whole view of
Asbury Park. Also, me and my sister still laugh about the time my mother would
go shopping at Steinbach's and we would hit the elevator button and then run
and hide behind a rack of clothes...waiting for the elevator doorman to step
out of the elevator to see who called the elevator to that floor. I remember
going to see a special ballet of "Peter Pan" at the convention center. Plus, I
enjoy looking at all the photos of me and my sister riding the rides on the
boardwalk. The whole "fall" of Asbury Park is a shame. The politicians should
be ashamed of themselves. I have nothing to show my own children what made up
my wonderful childhood memories.

I worked in asbury park during the summer of 1948 -- when I was 14 -- for a
photographer somewhere not far from the carousel. I loved the boardwalk and
the amusements with all the carney people who ran them. They were very nice to
me, just a kid. We took color slides of people with a 35 mm camera (then
rather new) and punched them out in a circle and put them into little plastic
telescopes for $1. The boss was named Rod Meltzer and I made $18 a week --
enough to pay my way from my home in Freehold and buy lunches all week. I
loved the job and I loved asbury park. Too bad. Thanks for your very
informative website.

Asbury Park has very special memories for me. As a young working adult it
was a closer drive then other places. My parents looked forward to my weekly
bringing home of hot peanuts before I left. Oh the cotton candy stands...
candy stores. Even shipped candy from there to a boyfriend who was in the
navy. My niece/nephew loved it. Especially the fun house. I had them down
several times a mo. Loved the boardwalk's food. Sometimes only for a day and
then the bathhouse was great. Rented a room in a house on 2nd Ave. all the
time. I am so so so sadden to lose such a great place. There will always be a
special place in my heart for Asbury that can never be replaced by any other
amusement place...ever.

walkways to be cordoned off. Historically significant buildings are beginning

I grew up on the NJ boardwalks. My family would occasionally go to the
amusements in the summer (from Asbury thru Seaside)but I always preferred
walking the boards in the winter, whether it was Belmar, Sea Girt, or wherever
we would stop. When I was a newlywed in '82, we got our first apartment in
Ocean Grove, and every morning, I would walk our dog across the lake into
Asbury, right past the Palace, up to the beach and home. That big neon smile
was there (though not always on) all of my life. In the summer, a guy named
Bass would make paintings of beaches, grass, and old boats. The girls would
let him paint them right on their jean pockets and were lovingly called a
"Bass Ass".
I've been in the Air Force for 20 years, and will likely retire in TX, but
in all of my travels there has never been a place to equal the Jersey shore as
it was for me. Even San Antonio's famed River Walk holds nothing to my
memories of walking the boards...it was a way of life.

years. I recently purchased a house that was owned by Madame Marie, a gypsie
who ran a tarrot card and palm reading business out of the house as well as a
hut on the Asbury boardwalk for years. I am searching for information on her,
newspaper stories, pictures etc.. any help would be very much appreciated and
help preserve some of the magnificent wonders that made up so many memories.
Thank you and continued success in your efforts

Hey,
Great job on the site, especially the Asbury Park section! No, the
Ambassador isn't getting demolished, it is going to be converted into condos
(or so they say.)
Nice to see pictures of the "new" Empress, I am going to be heading down
there this or next week to get some shots of the Hotel for my site.
Good job and keep up the great work!
P.S. There is an Asbury Park webring now, if you want to join! http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=AsburyPk;action=list

My name is Amanda Hayden. I'm 15 years-old, and I am from Garfield, NJ.
I've been following the history and the journey of the Palace Amusements for
years. I've started a site, www.tilliestamp.org, with the domain name and web
space my father bought me. My mission is to have Tillie's face and the Palace
Amusements immortalized on a US Postage Stamp. I think it is a great way to
preserve the memories, honor its history and glory, and let Tillie continue to
bring smiles to everyone! Please check out the site, sign the petition, and
pass the link on. We need all the help we can get! Sincerely, Amanda M. Hayden

I lived in Asbury Park from 1970 until 1981 when my father, a retired
police officer of the APPD, passed away. Even though things were changing and
the small town was beginning to suffer from loss of business and tourism, none
of that mattered to an innocent, naive 15 year old who was about to be
uprooted from her home and move to the notorious jungle of Washington, D.C.
Now, 23 years later and four children of my own I still have not adapted to
this enviornment and still truly miss my old hometown. I know Asbury is not
what it once was but for those who understand, Asbury Park possesses and
special, magical charm and the memories I have are timeless. I hope to one day
soon return and try to recapture some of the joy I experience when I was still
so young and innocent. I doesn't matter what it looks like now. When I see
pictures of it's delapitated state I look right past that and remember I was
there and there was the place to be.

on July 4, 1928 my mother and her friends went swimming in the ocean at
asbury park. We have a photo of them in their rented bathing suits. The
bathing suits have "Asbury Park" written across the chest. There are people in
the background, on the boardwalk,in their 1920 garb.
She was just going to turn 18 years old in August.

I went online looking for some the history of Asbury Park. My parents moved
to Neptune after my dad retiered from FT.Mommouth/Army in 1968.There was still
alot going on then Cookman Ave still had lots of business, Main Street had
lots of shops & GoGo bars. Convention Hall was still a hub, I remember seeing
the Temptation there. Springwood Ave was still a big part of the night life.
