A tribute to Tillie, that once adorned the now torn down Palace Amusement is on the marquee of the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The bar is now closed.
The Wonder Bar closed its doors for the last time in September 2006. As new construction takes place in the area, it stands as a reminder of the past. On its marquee is a tribute to Tillie - the face that once adorned Palace Amusements before it was torn down. The image of Tillie stands as a symbol of the shore of old. One of the images of Tillie was saved before the demolition and is hoped to be incorporated into a new Palace as the city is revived.
NEWS FLASH! - The Wonder Bar was showing signs of life when I went by this past weekend (June 29, 2008)!! As I learn more I will let you know... Asbury Park is definitely showing signs of life!!!
