Asbury Park's Convention Hall and Paramount Theater are joined by an arcade that spans the width of the boardwalk. Like the Casino, it was designed in the 1920s by the same architects behind NYC's Grand Central Station.
Palace Amusements was a historical indoor amusement park in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The park was built in 1888 and expanded several times over its history, but after a worsening economic situation in both Asbury and the country in the mid-1980s, the park closed in 1988.
Several efforts were made to save the structure, including its hand-carved carousel, murals and decorations, but in 2004, after an independent structural inspection, the building was deemed unsafe (and already damaged in several areas) and was ordered demolished. A local grassroots organization was able to save several pieces from the building, including the famed Tillie mural.
In popular culture[edit]
The Palace is mentioned in 1974 Bruce Springsteen hit 'Born to Run' in the lines 'Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones / Scream down the boulevard'[3].
