Red armchair in the back of the independent clothing store with three of your friends piled up in it dressed like zombies, trying not to get the fake blood - sweet, sticky, and the wrong shade of red - on any of the merchandise. You signed your names on their wall with the confidence that some things last forever. A few years later you hear that the store closed, a little too independent for the locals, and you wonder if you're feeling nostalgic or just hungry.

We'll never go back to Asbury Park
Red armchair in the back of the independent clothing store with three of your friends piled up in it dressed like zombies, trying not to get the fake blood - sweet, sticky, and the wrong shade of red - on any of the merchandise. You signed your names on their wall with the confidence that some things last forever. A few years later you hear that the store closed, a little too independent for the locals, and you wonder if you're feeling nostalgic or just hungry.
