The Empress is the only hotel of it's era still standing on the ocean in Asbury Park. It stands in block after block of empty ocean front property.. It was saved from oblivion by the GLTG community who began to move into the area and take over derelict property and begin to revive the city. It's a slow process that is on going but going there is worth the effort.
From Wikipedia : "The Empress Hotel, located in Asbury Park, New Jersey, is a popular gay resort.
The Hotel opened as a luxury resort for vacationing families in the 1960s. It was a successful resort, attracting the likes of Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli.
In 1980, the Empress was featured on the picture sleeve of Bruce Springsteen's hit single "Hungry Heart", which depicts a photo of Springsteen standing near a phone booth on the Asbury Park boardwalk, with the hotel visible in the background."

Here we have the protagonist of arguably the most resonant American myth:

Dorothy Gale, the ostensibly small and meek, of Kansas.

L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is not without its charms (it supplied the title of this photo), but for my money the 1939 MGM film starring Judy Garland is, was and always will be the most compelling Oz vision.

I used the Color Splash feature at Pixlr to reinforce the notion that Dorothy carried the power within her long before she wore the ruby slippers.

In closing, I leave you with the words of Salman Rushdie:

'Over the Rainbow' is, or ought to be, the anthem of all the world's migrants, all those who go in search of the place where 'the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true'.

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else". Judy Garland

Temple of Knowledge

Madame Marie Temple of Knowledge Marie Castello (May 25, 1915 – June 27, 2008), who was known as Madam Marie, was an American Fortuneteller and Psychic Reader who worked on the Asbury Park, New Jersey, Boardwalk from 1932 until 2008. Madam Marie was the longest running tenant on the Asbury Park Boardwalk.

Castello was a fixture in Asbury Park for decades, telling fortunes on and off at her tiny booth on the boardwalk which is nicknamed The Temple of Knowledge. She read the fortunes of celebrities ranging from Judy Garland to Bruce Springsteen. According to accounts, Castello reportedly told Springsteen that he would be a huge success. Springsteen later jokes that she told all her musician clients the same thing.

Springsteen mentioned Castello in his 1973 song, "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)", which earned her a certain amount of fame among his fans. Springsteen wrote in the song's lyrics of Castello, "Did you hear the cops finally busted Madam Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do." Castello was never arrested during her career, according to Asbury Park deputy mayor Jim Bruno. Bruno added that, "...Springsteen turned her into an icon." Also in his song Brilliant Disguise,in writing about his failing first marriage he sings, "As we stood at the altar the gypsy swore our future was bright, but come the wee-wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied". Springsteen reportedly never forgot Madam Marie and often visited her when he was back in Asbury Park. "He always comes by to say hello...He knows where he came from," Castello told the Asbury Park Press in a May 2008 interview with reporter Bill Handleman.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Judy Garland : The Wizard of Oz)

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
(...)
Sandy did not do any harm to Montreal. Only a little bit of rain... and some beautiful rainbows.
Sandy n'a pas vraiment affecté Montréal.Seulement un peu de pluie et de magnifiques arc-en-ciel.

Judy Garland.
