The History Chick
From hidden gems to hometown legends, we explore history, folklife, and culture in New Jersey and the Tri-State Area. Whether it’s Revolutionary War tales, boardwalk stories, or local folklore, The History Chick is here to keep the past alive—and a little bit sassy.
The History Chick
Springwood Avenue Asbury Park!
Join us this week as we stroll down Springwood Avenue in Asbury Park to take listeners back to a time when Ike & Tina, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and other jazz, blues, and R&B greats would serenade audiences in many of the nightclubs that were a part of the culture and Black community.
