Yup!

In 1953 I walked the boards during the 100th Anniversary of the founding of Atlantic City. The history was super.

Lincoln would summer there.

The Planters Peanut store with the roasting machines being driven by Mr Peanuts!

Salt water taffy was invented, (actual an accident), there and the diving horses on the Steel Pier were magnificent.

We would ride the jitney bus and get off at Marvin Gardens! the place was much better than N'Awlins!
