Asbury Park
Boardwalk beach town
Asbury Park is a city on the New Jersey shore, known for its boardwalk, beach, and role in American music history.
Bruce Springsteen's debut album *Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.* helped cement its association with rock and roll.
The city experienced decades of decline before recent revitalization: We spent the weekend in Asbury Park.
