I attended the Justice For George Floyd protest in Asbury Park yesterday. It was peaceful and positive. It made me proud to be a New Jerseyan.
I love Asbury Park. My grandparents (Genevieve and Walter Range) moved from the Bronx to Asbury Park in the late ’60’s…and stayed happily in Asbury until my grandpa’s passing in the early ’90’s. As a kid, I loved it when my grandma would take me to the Rendezvous (a circus-themed restaurant which was located on Cookman Avenue), and then we’d swing by Palace Amusements.
I thought Asbury Park was magical as a child…and yesterday…many of those same vibes came back. We need to fix these problems! Harmony is attainable! Thank you, Asbury!
