Have never been to AC, and now that my home state of PA has casinos, why would I want to?
What originally made AC was the Sunday Blue Laws in Philly. Someone worked all week only to find the saloons closed on the one day he had free. What to do? Go to AC on a train with cut rate fare and enjoy the booze that flowed there all the time. Later, when prohibition kicked in, liquor was openly served at AC. For awhile, gambling in the East could only be done legally at the AC casinos but now is available almost everywhere.
It is on the ocean?
