We had left D.C. to get away from a very busy day in the city and wanted the quiet. Unfortunately we also had a long drive to do this and had dinner in Atlantic City. I have been to this city a couple of times in the past. It was a small town with a famous boardwalk and known for the relaxed atmosphere that was just pleasant. It felt like it must have been even a hundred years before. Once the casinos came to town it all changed. The small houses and business that were the neighborhood behind the boardwalk was quickly removed to provide parking for the big hotel casinos. It made this just another gambling center. This last trip showed it needs to do something to integrate the boardwalk with the city that is on the other side of the parking lots. By the way the first thing that you see when you enter the city is the parking lots for the employees. They must come from outside the city and park where they can be bused to work. They apparently do not employ many people from the city or they are made to go out of their way to park and get to work.
