Kimmee Masi of Freehold opened Confections of a Rock$tar in August 2012.
A Freehold resident has combined two of her greatest passions to create a one of a kind business with attitude. Confections of a Rock$tar is one of Asbury Park’s newest bakeries. Opening in August of 2012, Kimmee Masi, owner and baker, has brought her rock star style to the baking world with original creations that follow the business’ rock and roll theme. Masi’s passion for music and baking both stem from her childhood. “I started baking when I was a kid and it has always been a consent in my life.

An upcoming concert will benefit five charities that have aided and continue to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Suffice it to say, On the Beach: A Sandy Relief Concert is no 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief. Perhaps that’s not such a bad thing.

The concert helped highlight the need that followed Hurricane Sandy and has resulted in millions of grant dollars being distributed to various organizations, a majority of them in New York City. But, the concert left promoter and Jersey Shore native Tony Pallagrosi feeling a bit detached. Despite Jersey representation at 12-12-12 courtesy of The Boss and Bon Jovi, the show was held at…

An ordinance that dates back to decades ago leaves Asbury Park beach boardwalk patrons breaking the law. The ordinance bans bathing suits on the city's boardwalk, but has little to no enforcement from the city these days. Former Asbury Park Councilwoman Louise Murray, who is now the municipal chair for the Asbury Park Republican Party, reminded the council of this ordinance at the Wednesday, June 20 council meeting. “I’ll be darned if I want to be standing at a bar and have somebody slither up in a Speedo or bikini that shouldn’t be in a bathing suit,” Murray said, according to the Asbury Park Sun. “It’s disgraceful … I implore you to enforce this, but do not amend it.” And according to the Asbury Park Sun, Deputy Mayor John Loffredo …
