Atlantic City was built in the early 1900's as the closest place to Philadelphia. Reading and PRR went in on building the Reading-Pennsylvania Seashore lines. Went there often in late '50s up to '66 when it was no longer good. Used to go to Hackney's.

The Casinos were to invest in rebuilding AC, but they did not.
