Walking around yesterday we realized this town has been here a while - since the mid 1800s. Atlantic City started out as a resort town back in 1851. And given the length of the boardwalk and the footage of boards they used (no time to figure out the board feet Lynn) they would have had to start back then.
Today there are a half dozen casinos or more and a nice shopping outlet area here as well.
And then there's the sandy beach....
Another tidbit about Atlantic City .... the First Miss America Pagent was here in 1921 ! Attached is the boardwalk stage that is apparently still use occasionally today.
And we were fortunate enough to see the latest runner up !
