Would you buy a multi- million dollar condominium in a town that allows its main street to look like this? The new high-rise construction at the ocean has been likened to the Hamptons, at least in terms of the real estate prices over there, but A. Park has a long way to go before it can be anointed as a first-world American city.
I drive on Main Street almost every day, and the pot holes are threatening the health of my car and my own peace of mind. In fact, I wouldn’t suggest even riding a horse over there.
Do you think that investing a fortune in a home in A. Park is a good idea? i Star is wagering that it will be successful selling those expensive condominiums in their new sky-scraper on the beach.
KAREN ELSON (with Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks) from HBO’s Boardwalk Empire:
What would be great, would be if they removed the asphalt and just left the brick! It would look great, be distinctive and also probably have a traffic calming effect!
