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".

No, he has not.
I hate to admit it but I used to hang out in AP because of Springsteen.
Every chance I got, I’d go spend a few days just slumming around the oh-so-melodramatic/romantic *ghost town*.
For a long time, NY homosexuals have been quietly populating it.

The last time I was there, Madam Marie’s decrepit shack was still on the boardwalk.
Apparently she’s upgraded to a new store front.
The last time I was there Park Place had “mysteriously burned down” and ‘family’ had bought up a lot of the property but development was stalled.
There were a lot of incredible bar bands up there and I loved going.
The Palace was in ruins and has since been torn down but there was a fund drive to save “Tillie”.
But it’s ghost town now and probably always will be.

Which bizarrely, has made it a destination spot for weirdos like me, apparently...:)
