Greg Kelly is a longtime Monmouth County journalist. He welcomes comments at monmouthcountylife@gmail.com.
Am new to your site, and it looks like a very comprehensive list of thing to do in Monmouth County — and I’ll tell family and friends about it for when they visit Ocean Grove.
I didn’t see listings for the Showroom in Asbury Park, or Beach Cinema in Bradley Beach. These are small neighborhood theaters upholding a longstanding tradition of movies at the Jersey Shore. Might they be included? (Full disclosure: my father worked for the Walter Reade Organization in the old days!)
I’d also like to learn more about Greg Kelly — he is doing quite a public service by compiling this information. Do you have a bio on hand?
Thanks so much.
