Asbury park is a very gay friendly town. Club paradise is a very well know gay club.

Do these change.org things actually do anything?

I've heard some stories where people have gone in to go to bed and they were pretty much up until the stopped. It's the only the upper floors that have that problem.

So here's the deal. As u/N0_ThisIsPATRICK mentioned, there's four proper hotels (I'm trying to find the fifth, but I can't think about it or can't find it) in Asbury. The Empress, The Asbury, The Asbury Ocean club, and The St. Laurent.

The Ocean Club and The Empress are gonna be the closest hotels to the Pony. The Empress is the closet and you can watch and hear the show depending on your room is. For reference, here's a street view of The Empress looking toward the pony. You can see the Ocean club in the distance, but you won't really be able to hear the concert that well from it and it's pretty expensive. The Empress is strictly 21+ due to the fact that it's a very gay friendly hotel.

I know that during the summer the roof bar is opened during the summer and they have a DJ that runs till 1 at The Asbury, so it might not be a good idea if you're bringing your kiddo. Not too sure about the St. Laurent since it's still new, but it might be better since it's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Might be a little pricey during the summer though.

The Asbury Book Co-op in Asbury Park has a good selection of used books. I believe that they are having a sometime in April. All books will be $1.

This would happen only at Monmouth. Source: I went there.

I do remember that. Was it all the time or toward the end? I think around the time I was starting college it was still fine, bit midway though was when it got bad.

Deko turned into Ikon in the early 2000s and bascially closed in 2016. I never went myself, but man, since Abyss and it closed, it's so boring.

> Deko

I haven't seen it yet, but Deko has officially been leveled and will be a storage place.

They're closing next weekend. So... yeah

I don't know how far you are from Middlesex County, but The Clay Pot in Spotswood offers classes and such.

This is 100% true about this woman.

Yep. I brought this book years ago called The Works, which talks about infrastructure of cites, mostly New York in this case, and one idea suggested this. The only issue that would be the same is running the cable to the land.

Oh totally. This article come up during one of my searches and I kinda knew this already (I forget how, but I read something similar a while ago), but there's other things that are probably involved in this. Example: if the sonar is scaring the whales, what are they running into?

Pretty much. I've almost asked her if she's a marine biologist a few times, but I don't wanna start shit with people on a photo sharing app. But then again, she's just a shitty artist who has done some armchair research.

> Phil Murphy is governor

I've also started seeing people posting an old tweet from 2018 that said that he signed a bill that was going to prevent any new drilling off the Jersey coast. Ummm... folk, this is in relation to the natural gas drilling that Christie was in favor of, not windmills.

I've been in favor of this for years. The only thing that can think of is that fixing them is gonna be a mother if then break.

I've been saying for a while now that it's plausible (I use the Mythbusters scale here that goes busted-plausible-confirmed), but there's something else besides the sonar that's killing them. Some woman who's an artist based in South Jersey keeps posting this article and while it makes sense, there's a lot more that doesn't right now. If the sonar is scaring the whales, then what's killing them? Not the sonar itself, that's for sure. Either they're running into something or it's something else.

There's two college basketball games on that day, which is odd, but at least I get to see the marathon later.

I'm gonna agree with this. If you do get a chance, go there. They beat the pandemic and are doing well.

Are they actually opened? Google seems to suggest they're still closed and they facebook says the same.

It's downstairs right? I could have sworn that they have only new.

I just checked to see if I can go to it the next time I was down there. I think they don't have a physical store anymore. It looks like it just directs you to someone's house. The Asbury Book Co-op is very active and opened.

The Asbury Book Co-op is actually pretty good. It's got a really good selection of used books.

I mean, the Block Island Wind Farm had the same issues I'm sure, but they got it done. But that's a whole other argument.
