Springsteen reflects on Asbury musical heritage

is to fight Parkinsons disease, but it has also become a de facto celebration of the musical heritage
of Asbury Park.

Its loose sometimes, but if you want to know

JERRY CARINO CARINOS CORNER
POINT PLEASANT The basics are
here. Theres a bed, a kitchen sink, a
mini-fridge and a full bathroom with a
shower stall. Five windows allow plenty

feet wide.
Its also amazing how little space we really need to

Everyone who sees this tiny home, built for $10,000
by a group of 14 volunteers last summer, offers the
same reaction I had when Minister Steve Brigham
gave me a tour.
I could live here.
