Photography amd fine art prints of Asbury Park by John Rizzuto.
A seaside resort town, Asbury Park once flourished. From the late 1800s until the 1960s, it was known as the "Jewel of the Jersey Shore." In the 1970s, Asbury Park (along with many other New Jersey cities) became a victim of race riots due to segregation and lack of opportunity for the city's large black community. This caused many residents to move out of the town. In the years to follow, businesses moved out and large parts of the city lay abandoned, so much so that a city manager called it 'Sarajevo-by-the-sea'.
