This revised and expanded edition of Daniel Wolff's classic study of Asbury Park, New Jersey tells the tale of the city's first 150 years, guiding us through the development of its lavish amusement parks and bandstands, the decay of its working-class neighborhoods, the spread of its racially-segregated ghettos, and the effects of recent gentrification.
