That's my hometown!! I have walked from one end to another many times. I grew up there in the 60's and 70's. So different now. I was a senior in high school when Resorts opened. It all changed after that. I am so grateful that I was blessed to experience AC "back in the day". Great video! Thank you.

The beginning of the Boardwalk was at the old Captain Starns. Its sad to see what happened to the boardwalk, I remember Tabers Toyland, Irene's, Hackneys, Carsons .Lit Brothers dept. store, etc. I get annoyed with these videos' because they never lived the history. Remember States Avenue, the mansions that were torn down ?

Enjoyed the walk and what I do when covering fights and so many great ones over the years at Boardwalk Hall, Resorts, the old Trump Plaza, Hard Rock. Unfortunate the element of people on the boardwalk has changed to a point you need to keep your guard at all times. Great tour. Will look for more and the boxing history there.

That's where the Miss America pageant was in that convention center. Everything sure is so different than it was in the early 60s. My Aunt n cousins lived a few blocks North and West of the convention center. I remember when I was 6 watching the Miss America Pageant live and thinking this is happening a few blocks away. I thought that was so special. Going to the beach and walk up n down the boardwalk and eat salt water taffy and cotton candy and penny candy shops and play the carnival games. No casinos on the boardwalk back then, just hotels and theaters and little shops, arcades, and card rooms throughout the city. Just West of the Boardwalk was a main drag that had all these cute little boutique shops with the pink n white striped or turquiose n white striped awnings.That's been their theme since after WWII. That's why you see the little carts with the pink n white striped canopies. A lot of pink or coral colored small apartment buildings too.The ocean was always warm and the sand always white. Us kids used to go down to the fishing docks and wait for the fishing boats to come in and hold up our hands and the fishermen would frisbee giant clams to us - they were about 7 - 10 inches wide. We'd take them home to my Aunt's apartment for dinner. We used to find so many giant seashells on the beach, like huge conch shells and abalone and the spirals. Made sand castles everyday. Listened to great music on my transistor radio that my Grandma gave me, still have it. A few blocks in, they had miniture golf courses. Fun in the sun. Thanks Frank, brings back good memories.

@@fgpalm - it's unbelievable how much it's changed with casinos and big hotels going in and then torn down 25 - 30 years later. Shopping centers in and out. I wonder what happened to the theaters. I know the boardwalk is all new since superstorm Sandy damaged it. I haven't been there since '64 and that's when the Beatles were touring and vacationing and were on the boardwalk in their vacay pics, so everybody asked if we saw them when we were on vacay. I said we kept looking for them, but didn't see them. Those were the days when life was fun and a lot safer. We were free range kids too.

Nucky Johnson. In the show Buscemi was Enuch “Nucky” Thompson. But the Ritz Carlton turned into the Ritz Apartments in 1982. Calvin Coolidge, Lucky Luciano, Marilyn Monroe, Al Capone - from Presidents to Gangsters and movie stars its an iconic legend. It still looks inside much like it did in the 1920’s. Nucky had a whole floor of the place. Every time I am n there, i have a few friends who live there you can’t just walk in, but it feels like ghosts are in there. Its nostalgic and opulent, historic. I’m amazed you walked the whole boardwalk without seeing Batman or myself (JK the tap dancing alien 😂). The week after 4th of July is always slow because everyone came the week before

As a poker player , im in AC pretty much every weekend for about 30 years. AC has been going through its waves of ups and downs. 2006 was probably the last year of a long positive stretch for AC. That is when online gaming was passed and the recession was on the near horizon. It seemed like it was trying to dig itself out of a hole from that whole 2008-2015 time frame as there were new investments through 2016-2019 and then boom....another setback called covid. Here we are in 2024 and AC has still not recovered from covid , online gaming and new casinos in neighboring states are starting to nail the coffin in AC....unless the casinos get together to do something about it. Right now they seem to focused on doing it cheaper instead of doing it better

I also regretted it when I went there when it wasn’t summertime. Everything was closed and there was barely anyone there. I also don’t gamble so I went for the beach and like the shops. It makes me feel so nostalgic because my uncle lived there so we went there many times while my dad was still alive. He passed away this March so watching this was bittersweet. I also had a similar experience to you where the round trip flight was cheap and ended up going to Denmark during Feb. I regret it but would love to go back during summertime, it was just dark and gloomy, sometimes rainy the whole time.

The Trump Plaza was a very nice hotel/casino too. The Trump World's Fair he bought from another casino operator who failed and made it part of the Trump Plaza. The Atlantic City Council passed a law that no single corporation could own more than three properties. My late wife and I used to like to eat at the Black Forest Restaurant in that mall opposite Cesare's. No more craps tables. The Bally's Casino is very nice. My wife and I used to love going to Bally's. I think Claridge is still part of Bally's. When I got lost last month I walked into Claridge and from there through a few hallways into Bally's. New York Ave is on the Monopoly board. I enjoyed staying at the Trump Taj Mahal as did my wife. Resorts was owned by Trump. He sold it to Merv Griffin when the Atlantic City Council voted that one owner could not own more than three Hotel/Casinos. Maryland Ave. Another property on the Monopoly board. Showboat had a really nice casino too.

Excellent presentation! You touched on everything including the Skywalk to the Sands / Claridge and you knew that Resorts couldn't be talked about without mentioning Merv. I'm from upstate NY and been going to AC for 35 yrs. I've stayed in all the casinos and was there last week. I had 2 questions as I walked the boardwalk: 1) what's happening with the Hilton? 2) why is Trump Plaza parking garage and one tower still there. You addressed both points. Thanx, AC will continue to chug along but it's heyday are well in rearview mirror.

Just walk fast and act like you don't hear or see them. Alternatively, try to pace yourself to appear as if you are in another group of people when you are coming up on some open territory (no buildings, lights, police/security presence), or see people loitering--standing, sitting, sleeping--they are inevitably going to ask you for money (and as a woman I'd be worried about much worse).

Resorts opened in 1978 formerly known as Chalfonte - Haddon Hall, which was taken over by the federal government and became known as Thomas England General Hospital during WWII. During the war, AC became known as Camp Boardwalk. From that point on, a once grand classy seaside resort declined into severe economic times.

There isn’t any parts of Atlantic City that are third world looking. Lol I grew up here and I haven’t seen a section of town to this day that looks as such. But you did give a pretty good video of the boardwalk sir. I drive the tram up there now, it was a very much prosperous summer for the city from what I witnessed. The city should be the Mecca of the east coast in my opinion! They have more work to do with all the vacant properties/land. Make it a family resort for all ages and stay turned on! Thanks for your share.

You are correct and Trump‘s world’s fair casino had an interesting history. It was the Playboy club and at one time before that it was the penthouse resort which Bob Guccione, who was the owner and publisher of penthouse, decided to open up in Atlantic City and it was a failure just like everything else he touched.

PS Atlantic City was a dump and is a dump. That’s why Mohegan is pulling out of resorts. They see the handwriting on the wall. You want to see a real casino and a real place for relaxation, fun and gaming visit Mohegan Sun, Connecticut or Mohegan Sun in Scranton not dealing with a ghetto and you’re not dealingwith taking your life in your hands by coming out of a parking lot at night, not not doesn’t have a future at least long-term future just an opinion

This dude should do his homework before making a documentary. Golden Nugget/Bally's grand/Hilton/Atlantic Club is correct chronological order, the tower at Trump Plaza opened 1960s as Holliday Inn. The Sands parking garage still stands. Resorts was originally Chalfonte/Haddon Hall and the bridgeway connected the two not built for later expansion. There are more discrepancies but I'm tired of typing.

If you are a believer in the Angel Gabriel then you know he is here. He was born into the flesh by a man who lived in NY. Imagine the father of this Angel passing away but never having the chance to live with him. This Angel coming to NY to bury him.The brother of the father taking this Angel to Atlantic city after taking the money the father left for this Angel. The First visit was to bury his father where he let out his scream and tears from missing his father. Second visit is when the uncle lied to the courts to get the money his brother had in his bank account .The son was taking advantage of and taken to Atlantic City so him and his wife could gamble the money up. They didn't understand the non value of money to the son. He walked the Boardwalk speaking to the sea. Soon a great cloud will come to this place first then NY where the father lived. This Angel lives in NC. A cloud like no other signifying the spirit poured out and anger towards those who are wicked .Imagine Gabriel and his mirror image of heaven. What signs his will display. He will be living proof of all mathematics. His children will equal the stars and the earth will be his land. The womb is his tuning and all children he counts. Soon all will see him and many shall bow.
