I've often that the the casinos should be shifted towards the borgata (As they're rebuilt), opening the boardwalk back up to beach related life.

AC used to be the center of the NJ Beach world. Steele Pier, World famous Boardwalk, excellent Beaches. Millions of Americans flocked there for their Honeymoons (including my in-laws). It was the place to go.
I don't remember exactly what happened, but it went downhill sometime in the early 70's.
