If you like all these things you will LOVE Atlantic City New Jersey.

This is a city without a soul. Cities have spirit or idenity. This one has none. Atlantic City has casino's like Vegas but it's a third class Vegas. It has a beachfront like Myrtle Beach but it's a second rate Myrtle Beach and it tries to have an aura of New Orleans but it's not even close to what New Orleans was. I've been all those places, Atlantic City you ain't them.

This was some large expensive government social engineering program meant to bring in "Jobs". Jobs sucked the life out of whatever identity they ever had. So it's a town that doesn't know who it is. Be who you are and be the best that you can be. I have seen the worst effects casino gambling brings and it's not a pretty sight.

It is without a doubt one of the lowest class places I have ever visited. I’m glad to live in Chicago.

Oh, and Mayor Daley, if you should read this, the Atlantic City casinos are the equivalent of placing a Trump, Sands, and Cesar’s palace in the center of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago. It doesn’t make the neighborhoods better it makes the casinos sleazy.

I will have to go back to Atlantic City. I hope they get some Hispanic folks in there to upgrade the slum. We like them in Chicago and they make the place better. What's there now is not better, it's pitiful.

This is the worst I have seen in America in a long time.

**Update, OK, the democrat jab was wrong. I spend mornings walking and listening to conversations with the other men coffee Klatching on the boardwalk. Let's just say, NONE of them are Bush supporters or fans of anything conservative or Christian. At least none of the conversations I heard. They couldn't find Israel or Iran or Iraq on a map for a hundred dollars but they all had an opinion. They had only watched the TV news. Big time opinions. Small time minds. The thing that bothered me is some of them are allowed to vote. Yikes. But the good news is, most of them don't get around to it.

So, I don't know if those dunces were democrats or not. I do know that they didn't or wouldn't vote for GWB and hate him now. So, if they are democrats it's hard to tell, they're just plain stupid and uninformed. I had a hard time telling the difference.
