The First Edition of Asbury Park: A West Side Story was published by Madonna Carter Jackson in 2006 using over two hundred black and white photo's that were taken in Asbury Park, NJ from the early 1940's through 1980 by her father, Joseph A. Carter, Sr.. The book has stimulated hours of conversations reminiscing about the way of life depicted in that time period. People of all ages are sharing their memories about the nostalgic photographs, and senior citizens are spending hours identifying people and places that they recognize in the 244 page book. In this Second Edition, more of Joseph A. Carter's photographs have been selected to keep the memory of Asbury Park, Neptune, NJ and other Shore Area towns alive, and never to be forgotten.
