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).

Very nice site..I used to work as awriter for the 'Aquqrian' and
interviewed most bands in all the venues in 'Asbury'..Afterwards I ran camera
for the 'Uncle Floyd Show' where I met Mugsy..We developed a long time love of
Asbury together. Between Between the late 80's up until his death a couple of
years ago, we amassed between us thousands of still pix and film footage of
Asbury. Someday, in his memory, I'll do something with them..For now, I still
greive for both Mugsy and Asbury...

But then there was Schuneman's too.
Maindenname was "Lethert" prominent persons in early St. Paul, Jordan,
Chaska, Shakopee and Chanhassen areas. Wondered if there were any photos of
the Catholic French Church (St. Louis?) in downtown St. Paul. A maternal
Lethert gr.mother used to talk of an orphanage (large structure) and also of
the workhouse. Was there such a structure near Como Avenue?

Recently for some reason I have been searching these old amusement part
areas. Asbury Park for some reason hits me hardest. maybe fond memories from
my past. I visited "Down The Street" once but pushed it aside for "Paradise"
once it opened. I recall being in Asbury Park for gay pride in 1999 or 2000
and recall the state of the downtown area. It's so depressing to see it in
shambles. I view these pictures and just imagine that the city could have been
restored to it's once glory days. I live in the south now and have only my
memories and these picture on these various sites to remind me. Thank you for
such an informative site. You have done a great job representing Asbury Park.

Stevie, as I called him, to play in his paridise. Im presently working on a

As a kid, Asbury Park was THE place to go, as was Keansburg, NJ. I liked
Asbury better, tho. Every summer, we'd spend weekends at the old Metropolis
Hotel, and enjoyed the boardwalk and the beach during the day. There was a
wonderful Greek deli not too far from the boardwalk, and we always bought Feta
cheese and Kalamata olives, and Halvah. I remember the free organ concerts at
the Convention Center, and loved the Merry Go Round, with the Golden Ring at
the Palace Amusements. I have such fond and happy memories of Asbury Park, and
it's a tragic shame that it has been allowed to fall into such disrepair, and
sadder still to know that the Palace is gone. I have pictures of Tillie, I
took them when I rode the skyride. It was always my favorite place to go in
the 60', and 70's.
