Story5 out of 5 stars 11
In 1970, Asbury Park, New Jersey, was ripped apart by race riots that left the once-proud beach town an hour away from Manhattan smoldering, suffering and left for dead. Four years later, a few miles down the coast in Seaside Heights, two bouncers, Jack Roig and Butch Pielka, tired of the daily grind, dreamt of owning their own place. Under-prepared and minimally funded, the two bought the first bar they considered, in a city where no one wanted to be, without setting one foot in the place. They named it the Stone Pony.

Outstanding Rock Read

If you’re a fan of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes and rock history this is a must listen/read! Incredible stories and info on the place where it all began on the Jersey shore.
