Bruce Springsteen has always been an Asbury Park guy.

While he was raised in Freehold, the Boss’ debut album was famously “Greetings from Asbury Park,” with hits like “Blinded by the Light” and “Spirit in the Night.”

So it makes perfect sense that he would be spotted this week in the Jersey Shore town.

Bruce Springsteen in Asbury Park

(Quick side tangent: It’s been months but I’m still bitter that I narrowly missed running into Springsteen at Jersey Freeze in Freehold. I legit left less than ten minutes before he stopped by the incredible ice cream spot. OK, back to the point…)
