Atlantic City A Last Resort, Honestly

082007acblvd.jpg

The Press of Atlantic City walked the boards in AC recently, and learned people apparently only go down the shore because they have no other option.

“I would’ve liked to take a cruise,” said Tony Giuliano, 28, of Albany, N.Y. “Probably the Bahamas or something” he said, dryly.

“Act like you’re happy, like you’re on vacation,” goaded his vacation partner, Andrea Johnson, 27, also of Albany.

Julio Melendez, 28, of New York, would have preferred to visit Europe. With prices the way they are, it may just as well have been a fantasy, he said.

And the people who do enjoy the shore are either (a) dogs or (b) guys who dub themselves “The Poker Menace.”

    I went down the shore for actual beach going for the first time in like 20 years last summer.

    I much prefer to go to Europe where it’s acceptable to get drunk and stab people over sports.
