June 11, Beachwood.
We're just like everybody else.
We're devoted fans of The Sopranos, the HBO television drama. So instead of going just two miles to the beach here in Toms River next door, we drove all the way up to Asbury Park, eight exits on the Parkway, to go to the place where a Sopranos scene was shot, on the boardwalk next to the Asbury Park Convention Hall, a grandiose Art Deco building, designed by the same architects behind Grand Central Station in New York City, jutting out into the ocean. I had gone there with Kris in February and it was just like in the series, deserted. Today there was a lot of construction activity, the renovation of the center and boardwalk retail shops, and people on the beach, albeit not that many.
