Another Asbury Park landmark, the Wonderbar, has been forced to close. I'm not really the bar type, but the seizure and forced closing of any popular landmark so that developers and politicians can pad their pockets is sad...

Regrettably, The Wonder Bar will officially be closing on the weekend of September 28, 29, and 30. As you may or may not know, the building was taken by the developers over the winter, and they were "kind" enough to give us a 6-month leaseback so that we could stay open for our last summer. Well, now it is over, officially, and the historic Wonder Bar, which has sat on the corner of Ocean and Fifth Avenues since 1949, will be boarded up, and eventually torn down for future "development."
Anyway, that was one of my assignments today. The other two were a ribbon cutting and a field hockey game, so this was by far my best image of the day.From their website: http://www.thewonderbarnj.com
