The Asbury Park Press is putting its Neptune office building on the market and will begin to look for a new location, the newspaper reported Thursday.
According to the newspaper's website, "The company's manufacturing facility moved to Neptune from Asbury Park in 1980, followed by its news and business office operations in 1985."
The Route 66 office was considered state-of-the-art when the newspaper moved from its much smaller facility at Press Plaza in Asbury Park. The newspaper went beyond the warehouse look that was typical of media offices, and created a high-tech, modern facility with a cafeteria, a nurse's office and a running trail.

And what were you smoking beforee you posted. You sound like a fool.
To me, the Patch is a breath of fresh air. The Editor is if anything more than willing to let all sorts of opinions fly around and it's a shame if we who write those comments don't understand that more than politics are involved in this very complex mess we are in. Yes, there certainly could be streamlining of the administration of the programs and towns and committees and it would help if more towns supplied the Patch with in depth information about just what the rules of these many games are. But there is a time for specific finger pointing if you know someone is not doing his or her job but this storm was neither a gift from the democrats or the republicans and when the chips are down it is going to be up to New Jerseyans to pitch in and help any and everyone in need. The more we can do for our communities, the less we will need government help. And Governments on all levels are flat out broke. So when you finish typing here, head for a troubled spot and donate and hour or so of your time to helping things get better. We will all be better off for it.
HuffPo also tends to let ideas float from folks from left to right but that can't be said for say The New York Times which seems to cherry pick responses from readers so that they primarily fall in line with that paper's editorial outlook. The Patch isn't doing that. Thank God. It's time to be grateful for the few things that are working and it would help if people would think through what they are writing and not just sling mud. We have enough of that to clean up!
Give Drudge's left hand column a try because it's quick and certainly helps me try to understand things from other nations' points of view. And there are liberals and conservatives in their streams of journalism but at least they try to cover more than their own backyards.
I stopped buying the Asbury Park Press years ago when I was unable to get any news on the rare "subway series" that Autumn. In my paper they omitted details for The World Series from their sport section because I was not in that precise area of the Gannet distributorship allowed to receive it(without paying more money, of course!). The wanted me to purchase a second paper just to read that story alone. The local town news can be gotten on line now, making them obsolete. Goodby Press dinosaur, heading for the La Brea tar pits! About time!
