And as far as having "the ability of seeing and knowing what went on there on a day-to-day basis." Have been going there since the days of the Steel Pier, Miss America, Kinght's hamburgers, the Clairidge hotel, the Mr. Peanut store, Resorts opening day, Beach Boys concerts on the beach, Superstorm Sandy and the annual Fireman's conventin there and since Wildwood. So please don't assume that your accuracy is better than anyone else's - including mine. Rather than read about A.C., I can go there any day I care to for a dose of A.C. reality.

Okay, madam -- let's not split hairs. The state authorized the referendum after enough signatures from the public were gathered with heavy pressure from the gaming industry.

You are mentioning things and places that millions of people have experienced, and all those experiences were as a tourist and have nothing to do with gaming. You brought up hurricane Sandy which has nothing to do with casinos in addition to only happening a few years ago. I have never heard of Kinght's Hamburgers or of an annual Fireman's convention and bringing that and other things into this thread also have no meaning when speaking about the casinos.

You stated you were at Resorts on their opening day. I'd be interested in hearing about your experience.

I never said that my "accuracy" is better than anyone else's, so please don't even intimate that's what I've said. And yes -- because I lived there before and during the advent of casinos and worked there for five years, there is no doubt in my mind that this is one area where I definitely know more than you.[/QUOTE]

My experience @ Resorts opening day - abominable! So much so that we left after obtaining our "courtesy card" and attempting to battle crowds and went to The Sweetwater Casino in Mullica Twnsp. for dinner!!!!

How could you claim such an intimate relationship with A.C. and never have heard of the annual firemen's convention?
