Vegas ain’t got nothing on Atlantic City. In Leaving Las Vegas, Nicolas Cage portrays a suicidal alcoholic and makes Vegas seem depressing. Sadly, that’s Atlantic City, although it really shouldn’t be. Sometimes a place can be a cesspool though. We say things like we “didn’t connect with” someplace we went, as though it was our fault or the destination wasn’t for us even though we all presume that it was – of course – special. We’re not supposed to say that destinations are awful, even when they are. Who should need Vegas, when you have Vegas-on-the-Beach accessible by car? Not only is there beach and gambling, but proximity to Manhattan - as a population center and financial center. On its face Atlantic City should have every conceivable destination. Take the beach in New Jersey and add legal gambling and you should have an even better destination in Atlantic City. I loved it when my train broke down on the way back to New York once, I think I was 7 and I was happy waiting for the next train to come by and pick us up since the cafe car on ours had run out of M&Ms.
I have wonderful memories growing up of the beach in New Jersey, although I don’t remember the train as being especially reliable. We used to take the North Jersey Coast Line to Point Pleasant. Now, I grew up on Long Island but didn’t spend summer weekends in the Hamptons. But they are apparently trying to take the home of an ill senior citizen, son of a murdered holocaust survivor, in order to help a failing casino in some unspecified, Underpants Gnome way.
