RE: 🎠 👻 Ghosts at the Skateboard Park 👻 🎠
Probably a good call on not going downstairs. They could have easily collapsed. Then you'd be in trouble.
It's interesting seeing buildings like that. At one point it was new and shiny. There was probably some fanfare and excitement as it opened. It would be interesting to know the story behind how it got built, and why it fell into disrepair. Things don't just collapse for a no reason. Why did it stop getting kept up? When was the decision made to shutter it? How long have people been sneaking in anyways? :)
Much of Asbury has been in a funk since at least the late 70s. There have been a number of attempts to try and revitalize it, but it just never seems to fully latch on. If I had to speculate, I'd say plenty of mismanagement and probably a sprinkling or two of corruption and palm greasing.
That's too bad. It's sad that so much good could be done, but can get missed or removed by mismanagement or "other reasons." It's really a shame.
