 ATLANTIC
CITY , on Absecon Island just off the midpoint of
the Jersey shoreline, has been a tourist magnet since
1854, when Philadelphia speculators created it as a
rail terminal resort. In 1909, at the peak of the seaside
town's popularity, Baedeker wrote "there is something
colossal about its vulgarity" - a quality which
it sustains today, even while beset by bankruptcy and
decay. The real-life model for the board game Monopoly
, it has an impressive history of popular culture, boasting
the nation's first Boardwalk (1870), the world's
first Big Wheel (1892),
the first color postcards (1893) and the first
Miss America Beauty Pageant (cunningly devised
to extend the tourist season in 1921, and still held
here yearly). During Prohibition and the Depression,
Atlantic City was a center for rum-running, packed with
speakeasies and illegal gambling dens. Thereafter, in
the face of increasing competition from Florida, it
slipped into a steep decline, until desperate city officials
decided in 1976 to open up the decrepit resort to legal
gambling . |
