Feel obligated to post here. Yeah. The pork roll/taylor ham debate is the most nonsensical debate ever. Central Jersey is literally purgatory.

 

South Jersey for me starts where I see more Sillydelphia Sillies and Eggle fans.

 

East Philly

 

What's up with everyone recently?

I was down in Belmar at Djais a few weekends ago and mistakenly started dancing with a girl I thought I was talking with earlier in the day. Turns out it was this jacked dude's girl. Almost got my ass kicked.

 

Djais is disgusting. Go anywhere else.

 

JK. Don't go to Headliner or Bar A either.

 

They're all terrible fun.

 

Another hot one today. It reached 95 in Central Jersey. Fall can't come quick enough.

 

Since I left Howell, I don't do the Belmar scene anymore. I usually just stuck to Boathouse. Now, whenever I head down south, I stick to Johnny Mac's, Biergarten, Bond Street, Brick Wall, or Ale House in Asbury. Everything is so close and easy to get around. Nights of shows, I'll go to Yacht Club or Watermark. Asbury.

 

Bar A is an actual hell hole.

 

Asbury Park. If you want to go to a jersey shore beach town that isn't every bad jersey stereotype in the world...go to asbury. they're really building it up as of late. Great place for the hipster/punk/rock/laid back crowd.

 

The punx last glory hole is being torn down. No more Planes Mistaken for Stars playing at the Lanes.

 

I'm gonna try and make it down the shore this summer. Make use of my Summer Friday's. I like Belmar, the beach. I don't really do the bar or club thing.

 

wait i thought asbury lanes were just being rennovated? noooooooooooo

 

Renovated to be a 'vintage style bowling alley'. Everyone who works there is saying it won't be putting on shows and they aren't being hired back on. No more hanging with the dude from A Life Once Lost.

 

that's.... very sad.

I don't get things like this though. Same thing with CBGB years back. These places are potential gold mines as historical landmarks, why get rid of such historic places...especially in a town like Asbury Park where it's places like that that gives the town character. REAL character too, not manufactured Williamsburg type places

 

Everything in Asbury is being monetized. It's depressing. They are really pushing to make it THE shore getaway. it feels really weird that it all seemed to happen to quickly. For years, people talked about how the LGBT community was coming in to make improvements. Now it is happening at an overwhelming rate and pushing a lot of people out of their homes.

 

Hahaha!! Time for me to come down and bougie it up with my bros!!!

North > South

 

Man, Asbury Lanes was the best spot around! Saw almost all my favorite bands there and could count on being there at least twice a month. So sad to hear its not coming back.

 

I work on the beach in Asbury, and as much as I love the boardwalk and the town, the gentrification is real. You can really tell how much more tourism there is this summer compared to last.

RIP the Lanes.

 

boo

 

J Macs!

 

i feel like there should be a balance. It's a shame that developers and local governments can't see the bigger picture...and in my eyes...the financial opportunities to leaving such landmarks open. Forget the emotional pull...there's MONEY in this kind of shit! That's more of why i'm shocked.

 

I don't know if you still go there, but it isn't the place it was even just a year or two ago.
