As a correction, this is *not* the Asbury Park convention hall.

It's a derelict building that really doesn't look much worse than the last time I was there in 1981.

Here are a couple of photos of Asbury Park taken in June 2006. I don't believe Springsteen has since or ever put his money where his mouth "was".
