Winner of the 2005 New Jersey Author Award for Scholarly NonFiction from the New Jersey Studies Academic AllianceLong before Bruce Springsteen picked up a guitar; before Danny DeVito drove a taxi; before Jack Nicholson flew over the cuckoo's nest, Asbury Park was a seashore ShangriLa filled with shimmering odes to civic greatness, worldrenowned baby parades, temples of retail, and atmospheric movie palaces. It was a magnet for tourists, a summer vacation meccato some degree New Jersey's own Coney Island.In Asbury Park's Glory Days, awardwinning author HelenChantal Pike chronicles the city's heydaythe ninetyyear period between 1890 and 1980. Pike illuminates the historical conditions contributing to the town's cycle of booms and recessions. She investigates the factors that influenced these peaks, such as location, lodging, dining, nightlife, merchandising, and immigration, and how and why millions of people spent their leisure time within this onesquaremile boundary on the northern coast of the state. Pike also includes an epilogue describing recent attempts to resurrect this oncevibrant city.
