To the Editor:

Why is Long Beach Township trying to buy the old M&M Steam Bar, a viable, taxpaying commercial property, so the town can turn it into pickleball courts? If we need more pickleball courts in the township, there are other less expensive alternatives.

One of these is to add pickleball lines to the existing tennis courts at the Acme. This is done in other communities and enables the use of the same courts for either game and costs almost nothing.
