10 Things You'd Like to See at the Old Charlie Brown's in Lakewood

Your ideas are so much more exciting than what's actually moving in there. Office buildings are taking over the Old Charlie Browns. Charlie Brown's in Lakewood and Forked River closed because of Covid-19. It was sad to see these leave Ocean County. Every time I would drive by the parking lot would be full.

Sara in Toms River said she would love a Rainforest Cafe. I totally agree with her, but are Rainforest Cafe's only in places with large crowds, like Atlantic City or Orlando?
