The Asbury Jukes were born from this seaside amusement park. Below you will see the park in various stages to the present when 2 days ago, May 26, 2004, the wrecking ball began the demise of the Palace and Carousel. A new board- walk has been constructed however, and Madam Marie's shanty still stands. The Stone Pony still has entertainers, Bruce and the E Street Band, Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, Bon Jovi, Joe Grushecky and the House Rockers, Soozie Tyrell and The Soozie Tyrell Band, and many more, that go back and sing up a storm. The Convention Hall is being preserved and Bruce and his band usually do a Christmas show there.
