When I"m asked where are you from and I say Atlantic City, NJ they
look at me like people live there? LOL
Growing up there ,it was so beautiful and so much fun living 2blocks from
the beach and ocean. I knew every block and crevice and had club houses
all over Atlantic City. Watching the rich people being pushed along the
boardwalk in carriages, watching people swim in the pools along the boardwalk and sneaking into some without getting caught.
The Easter Parade and Miss American Pagent, all things I grew up
with when AC was beautiful. Watching the diving horse at the Pier
and proforming in the Ted Mack Amatur Hour playing the accordian
are all wonderful memories I have of the city.
Now, it's dirty and ugly, IMO.
I never go into the city when I go down to visit. Hate the casino's and
what they have done to a beautiful city. They were suppose to revitalize
it but made it worse. Oh well, that's where I'm from.
