        Since it opened in 1974, the Stone Pony has been the beating heart of Asbury Park, a beacon for musicians and fans alike. But its survival, much like that of its city, has been a story of resilience and revival, of sold-out shows and shuttered windows. https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/opmHK5WhuN

        Asbury Park was only a few years removed from the race riots of 1970 when the Stone Pony opened https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/P2uuGvaTjW

        "I strolled up to this closed spot, the Magic Touch. It was the future Pony," Jack Roig said. "I looked in the door, and I said, 'O.K. I’ll buy it.' Never went in the place. Talk about stupid." https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/BCFVlgut0W

        "The local bands were the ones that kept the place going. We were able to open seven nights a week with music." —Jack Roig, an original owner of the Stone Pony https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/Y8PweGnVhy

        "It was just a local, friendly, convenient place that had a good feeling to it, and I suppose at that time it kept me kind of locked into the area and the local music scene while I was having my initial shot of success."—Bruce Springsteen https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/1R6sECxIHW

        Liability lawsuits forced Jack Roig and Butch Pielka to close the Stone Pony in September 1991. "One lawsuit was because of the Ramones." https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/AKfUhKDwXZ

        Steven Nasar, of nearby Deal, New Jersey, bought the Stone Pony in bankruptcy court and reopened it a year later. But Asbury Park was weathering some of its toughest times, and a decade of struggles followed. https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/mY4DQNbTsO

        The closing of the Stone Pony in 1998 had some wondering if it would be for good. But Domenic Santana saw an opportunity. Soon enough, the Stone Pony was again on the rise, and Asbury Park was ushering in a new era of development along the oceanfront. https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/nyu0GuEJBI

        “I’m sure it was like bar life in a thousand other towns going on simultaneously. There was that one club where your local musicians gathered and would get up onstage and play.” —Bruce Springsteen https://nyti.ms/2Ag4I5X pic.twitter.com/s8LeEvX9rv
