That was won by the Advocates of Historic Ocean Grove. I’m the only one left in OG from that group. It cost me a lot of money because I was left paying the remainder fee for the attorney we hired. But it was worth it to keep that eye sore off the south end. When I think back to what could be there today it would have been a real tragedy for the Historic district.

Here is a link to a Blogfinger piece from earlier this month which discusses this 1986 history and includes a young Kevin Chambers being interviewed in opposition to the CMA’s plans to build condos there. This is one of the the few open land sites still available in the Grove.
The CMA has been working here lately. Let’s hope that they will not again consider development. Hopefully the State. (GreenAcres) will keep watch. I think that the CMA is getting tax breaks here.
