Before I added the Copyright Notice across my images, many were stolen and appear on many sites developed after this one was created around 1998.

The Famous Boardwalk
The once and still famous Asbury Park boardwalk along the Atlantic Ocean. The first scene below is from a postcard with the title "Boardwalk at First Avenue showing Casino, Asbury Park, NJ". The postcard is postmarked "Asbury Park, September 20, 1949" and was mailed to the Hough residence in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The second and third images below were photographed on the very same boardwalk, forty years later in 1989. The famous Casino is long since closed, the windows broken out. There are few bathers, the beach is closed/open? There are few strolling the once magnificent boardwalk.
1989:
Late 1990's, still no signs of recovery for this historic and once marvelous beach resort along the Atlantic Ocean...
