It’s been eons since I visited Asbury Park, and it definitely looked spiffier than I remembered, but by no means posh. Inside the old Paramount Theater building, a shop owner was telling a customer about how Gov. Chris Christie visited after Hurricane Sandy, and whatever you think of him, that meant a lot to her. We got there on cloudy Monday morning so it wasn’t that busy, but when the sun came out, so did more people.

Manhattan Beach has Kings fever: Every other store had a sign rooting on L.A.’s hockey team tonight as it tried to clinch the Stanley Cup. The bars and restaurants were hopping, the game playing on their TVs. Alas, the Kings lost — but they will return to L.A. and try to win it at home.
