clearly they needed to reinvent themselves, with aging hotels adn a run down waterfront. ultimately, though, I thionk demolishing the waterfont for a wall of casinos that merely allowed the city to function without ever improving itself was probably a negative. if casino money was to be used, they would have been better off using off boardwalk sites and then movign some of the tax money to allow for incentives to modernize existing hotels, fix up streets, build parking garages, and implement high speed train service. Imagine being in AC in 30 min from Philly?
Even as it is, if there were reasonably priced, decent hotels in AC I'd rent a room. less hassle, no beach tags, and trips to the white house. still, I'd prefer a fast train ride, beach day trip. a day in teh sun puts you out, i hate that end of the day drive.
