End of an era for Asbury Park Boadwalk
No mo' HoJo in Asbury Park. I'm sad to read that the gloriously "worn-out HoJo's" has been gutted. I should probably dig up some old AP pics by Emiana and me. Until then, enjoy this one by Emiana © 2007:

I imagine that only a rubbish refurb can be accomplished in three months. A stylish beach cafe? Stylish? Did they not see the HoJo? There was such style there! Oh, what could have been done...
Another one gone, strange how things so iconic can just disappear. A while back I found this website devoted to the memory of the HoJo: http://www.hojoland.com/
