Description
Many people unfamiliar with Atlantic City's origins think of it as a has been Vegas with a beach. Not true. AC was at one time one of America's premier family resorts.
The Boardwalk along with a great beach and fine hotels, was the place to be during the summer months. At the turn of the century you could take an express train for $1.00 and get there in 50 minutes from Philadelphia. Rent a wooly bathing suit for a quarter, and stuff yourself with fresh seafood. And before air conditioning, that was as close to heaven as most people could get. Everyone dressed in their finest and outdid one another. It was a place to let go and make believe. There were amusements for kids and plenty to do. Now all we have are old post cards, and fading photos.
