THE SCENE, UNSEEN. The sun was shining, the sky was a cloudless blue, but the Asbury Park boardwalk lacked any sign of life on an April afternoon during the
statewide coronavirus lockdown. Given social-distancing requirements, many Jersey Shore towns closed their beaches during the state of emergency. In Asbury
Park, the boardwalk was closed, but the beach remained open for exercise. In the nearby downtown, most businesses were shuttered for several weeks until late
April, when a number of well-known restaurants reopened for curbside takeout. All of the town’s iconic entertainment venues remained closed at deadline.
