It is beautiful. Asbury Park has a lot of musical history which is why I love that beach. That building is Convention Hall/Paramount Theater. It was built in the 1920's. It has seen better days but the architecture is gorgeous. So far they are doing their best to preserve it.

I thought super storm Sandy removed a lot of sand from the beaches. But this beach looks perfect. so I figured they moved some back in.

Asbury Park thankfully wasn't hit too bad but I'm sure there was some beach erosion which they replenish from the ocean floor.

Here are a couple more pictures of the building that I found online.

This is the entire building. The Paramount Theater on the left, the center is The Grand Arcade and the right is Convention Hall.

Inside the Grand Arcade during the Tree Lighting. We go every Christmas.



The pictures don't really do it justice.

This Summer there was a boardwalk fire , was that near here ? I remember hearing about it on the news.

Seaside Heights...about 25-30 minutes further south. They also got hit very bad by Sandy.
