Villa Italia, circa 1966

A sea of asphalt...

Update: One thing that amazes me about this photo is the distance from some of these parking spaces to the old mall entrances. Yes, everyone coming to Villa Italia had a surface parking space, but most of those people were going to have to walk to get to their destinations-- some of them quite a bit.

Surface parking is going to be harder to find in Belmar when the development is fully built out, but the distance from Belmar's free, multi-level parking garages to shoppers' final destinations is going to be much shorter than was the case with the old Villa Italia.
