Too dizzy watching this...... :P

Atlantic City doesn't have one super market in the whole city. That's a damn shame. I have a cousin who lives there and he told me. SMDH

Lived there from ‘57 to ‘83 and still am there almost daily. And I was an altar boy at ‘that church’ .

urban blight

Bill please come back 😢 and review Lyndhurst again

Bring professional boxing back to Atlantic City.

30 yrs ago boardwalk was like Time square. But every state has Casinos so AC died. They need to make Beach a bigger pull

I walked by the building at 4:15 and there were 3 squad cars and many people coming out of the building at 10 am- prying away the wood. I feel like they all lived in there and the police were looking for someone specifically. This was 3 mins from the boardwalk filled with families. I am from Chicago and walk the West and South side all the time- and this was literally the worst thing I have seen in person besides a shooting of an off-duty police officer 50 feet from me in Chicago.

How often must you repeat "like, like, like, like, like, you know, you know"?

Build a business and stiff the labor,milk the business,break the business, go to mara lardo.

I grew up in Glen Rock in the late 60's and 1970's. Family moved away in 1978 (I was in 10th grade). I went to the little grade school down the block from the big Rock. So many memories.. The last name on the 911 memorial was my scout leader. RIP.

The home of Glenn Danzig and The Misfits. The city once had a notable Italian character, but today it looks like everywhere USA.

Reno Nevada was a gambling meca until California did the indian casinos

He's looking at the problem , Investors are buying whole blocks..They are waiting for the whole block to vacate..

I live just outside AC. We call it Atlantic Shitty. I know…SAD 😞

Glenn Danzig should have his own memorial shrine and monument in Lodi

Shit hole now!!!!

I went to visit for the first time for a couple days stay and i saw its mostly abandoned 😢 we wanted to see the history

Im launching a crypto casino.😊

What happened? Is it not self explanatory...the undesireables moved in and destroyed all of it like they do anywhere they go. A virus

Go there in the summer the boardwalk is popping

Pretty much all NJ cities are run down

Went to Atlantic City in 1963, what was amazing even then were these enormous deserted hotels right on the Boardwalk, that must have been big in their heyday. These hotels were real relics.

Get use to it, the pandemic pretty much ruined our cities. Now we have 4 more years of Trump the criminal. The Exton Mall is done thanks to Trump not handling the pandemic correctly. This country is doomed. Thanks Democrats and Republicans, thanks for ruining the country with your greed.

That’s what happens when Trumps takes over… think he’s a genius businessman… that’s what’s coming to you America. If you think am talking shit. Do your research… the. Thing you didn’t do before voting for him.

Look the whole AC thing is this," Give us your money and get the hell out." Vegas has it right.Good shows,buffet meals,reasonable prices,comfortable rooms,and suckers win once in a while.

Everyone took from Atlantic City but never gave back...

There's no help from people in Delaware. I miss Bergen County really all of it 😢

You wouldn't get that in Delaware

Beautiful Area

Historic

Clean well kept

Ridgefield used to be nice now its almost a gheto town all good stores are gone nothing but smoke shops and with smoke shops you know what moves in, so any good decent family thats left they're selling and moving out.

I got carjacked on September 30th 2024 by the same people doing business on the boardwalk. Crime is well organized there.

Waldwick Resident here! I've been living here since I was a kid it's so great. Really safe

Bill Bradley took an honorarium from Sheldon Adelson in 1992 to keep Nevada's sports betting monopoly.Had Trump gotten it then,he could not have left and the money could have made AC into Dubai East.

I been visiting AC since I was a teen and its always been a rough town.. Everyone always said dont leave the casino area. I remember when they first built the outlets for shopping and even that was a little rough. To put it in context we were comimg from Philly, so I know bad when I see it. AC been bad at least since I the 90s when I was a kid. Winter time is always pretty desolate too.

It’s a great place The politicians destroyed it So many mayors have gone to jail How could you not make money when you sit on the ocean What a shame

During the first half of the twentieth century, Atlantic City was the nation's most popular middle-class resort--the home of the famed Boardwalk, the Miss America Pageant, and the board game Monopoly. By the late 1960s, it had become a symbol of urban decay and blight, compared by journalists to bombed-out Dresden and war-torn Beirut. Several decades and a dozen casinos later, Atlantic City is again one of America's most popular tourist spots, with thirty-five million visitors a year. Yet most stay for a mere six hours, and the highway has replaced the Boardwalk as the city's most important thoroughfare. Today the city doesn't have a single movie theater and its one supermarket is a virtual fortress protected by metal detectors and security guards. In this wide-ranging book, Bryant Simon does far more than tell a nostalgic tale of Atlantic City's rise, near death, and reincarnation. He turns the depiction of middle-class vacationers into a revealing discussion of the boundaries of public space in urban America. In the past, he argues, the public was never really about democracy, but about exclusion. During Atlantic City's heyday, African Americans were kept off the Boardwalk and away from the beaches. The overly boisterous or improperly dressed were kept out of theaters and hotel lobbies by uniformed ushers and police. The creation of Atlantic City as the "Nation's Playground" was dependent on keeping undesirables out of view unless they were pushing tourists down the Boardwalk on rickshaw-like rolling chairs or shimmying in smoky nightclubs. Desegregation overturned this racial balance in the mid-1960s, making the city's public spaces more open and democratic, too open and democratic for many middle-class Americans, who fled to suburbs and suburban-style resorts like Disneyworld. With the opening of the first casino in 1978, the urban balance once again shifted, creating twelve separate, heavily guarded, glittering casinos worlds walled off from the dilapidated houses, boarded-up businesses, and lots razed for redevelopment that never came. Tourists are deliberately kept away from the city's grim reality and its predominantly poor African American residents. Despite ten of thousands of buses and cars rolling into every day, gambling has not saved Atlantic City or returned it to its glory days. Simon's moving narrative of Atlantic City's past points to the troubling fate of urban America and the nation's cultural trajectory in the twentieth century, with broad implications for those interested in urban studies, sociology, planning, architecture, and history.

and also the cannon is a real revloutinary war cannon

that creek goes forever

i live here and im 10

That’s my spot by the physic reading place

Kind of unprepared.. wandering around aimlessly and just blabbering to fill the time. What about visiting the house Sinatra owned. Or Tony Orlando. Or any mention of the serial killer Cottingham

I almost forgot you come in and destroy the boardwalk and take away all the family attractions Atlantic City used to be a place to take the family you destroyed that nothing but economic extermination well Atlantic City used to be the place they used to graze the cows a long time ago maybe It should just go back to that

The real problem Atlantic City is that they couldn't move all the residents out to make it totally commercial that's why Atlantic City is stuck the unsaid thing that exist they say Atlantic City people are stagnant that was told to me in 1978 when they were given the jobs to out-of-town people just take it back to before the casinos opened how they were trying to buy the residents out of their homes for little or nothing fact check me if I'm lying

Once a great town, No More. Sad!

The last time that i felt safe walking in center city was 1964

😢
