Asbury Park is considered to be a mecca for musicians, particularly for a subgenre of
ock and roll known as the Jersey Shore sound. It is home to The Stone Pony, founded in

University of Pennsylvania Campus

In 1749 in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin presented his vision of a school in a
pamphlet titled Proposals for the Education of Youth in Pensilvania. Unlike other
American Colonial colleges, the new school would not focus on education for the
clergy. Instead, it would prepare students for lives of business and public service.
The proposed program of study would become the nation's first modern liberal arts
curriculum. Doors to the University opened in 1751, when the first classes were held.
