		Demolition of the Palace in 2004 came over the objections of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Asbury Park Historical Society, Preservation New Jersey, and Save Tillie.
		In the end, we saved more than 125 internal artifacts from the Palace and the Tillie mural from the Cookman Avenue wall, and through our work the Bumper Car murels on the Lake Avenue facade were also removed to storage.

	Backstreets.com: Save Tillie
		The Palace itself lay partially demolished behind Tillie, victim of neglect by owners, hostility by Asbury Park's waterfront developer, and the complicity of New Jersey's state government which rejected preservation appeals from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preservation New Jersey, the Asbury Park Historic Society, and the Palace preservation campaign, Save Tillie.
		The Palace Museum Online is the result of nine months of research by members of Save Tillie, the organization which rescued more than 125 artifacts from the Palace prior to demolition.
		Until May 26, 2004, the Palace was a landmark on the Jersey Shore, a place that excited 10 decades of visitors and inspired songwriters, photographers, and artists.

	Movie theaters aim for live 3D sports in 2007 Reuters News 2006-03-23 By Gina Keating
		In 2004, during Boston Red Sox baseball fever -- the year they won the World Series for the first time since 1918 -- National Amusements, the controlling shareholder in Viacom Inc, began screening high-definition broadcasts of Red Sox games in its Showcase Cinemas in several New England cities on weekday nights.
		National Amusements had no problem securing rights to screen games because the Red Sox organization controls the New England Sports Network that broadcasts the team's games in the region -- a lucky break, Redstone said.
		Ticket sales at theater chains dropped 9 percent in 2005 from what analysts said was a combination of lackluster films, competition from other forms of entertainment such as video games, and the spread of large-screen, high-definition televisions and digital video recorders.
