Gay Atlantic City
----------------------------------------
In 1854 the Camden and Atlantic Railroad began educate service between Philadelphia and the coast, and the first commercial hotel was built the same year. The first boardwalk was constructed in 1870 and soon after half a million people were visiting each year. To treat the traffic more lines followed, including the Reading Railroad. Sound familiar? Landmarks and street names of this town are properties on the board game Monopoly. The city's golden age came in the 1920's when speakeasy liquor flowed freely despite prohibition, and gambling flourished in back rooms between blocks of the big modern hotels that had transformed the city. After the war the city's economic decline was a factor when voters approved gambling for Atlantic City in 1976.

The grand old hotels from the 1920s were being renovated or torn down to build identity new gaudy casinos. Not exactly fancy those in neon-clad Las Vegas, but much more flashy compared to the art deco hotels from the Boardwalk Empire era. Neighborhoods were gentrifying, whole blocks were razed, little motels were now condos, and it was non-stop action everywhere you looked.
