Atlantic City was once a nice place, now its as you put it, "a dump" thanks to these high rollers who suck the life out of something and leave it dying. I know bus loads o seniors from around here used to take busses to Atlantic City but no more. <br /><br />Everyone I knew in NJ has migrated owing to the high taxes, or died, including the Ex who lives in SC a state that fits his Conservative values.

A ride around town in the heyday of the casino boom still showed dilapidation and seedy neighborhoods. Perhaps their greed became their demise. I know many people in the outlying areas who lost jobs with all the closings, and unless things pick up again, they'll be in dire straits. Do you think the downfall is due to lack of interest or possibly the new casinos in Philly?Muffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542678482763101104noreply@blogger.com
