Book Synopsis Atlantic City Revisited by : William H. Sokolic
Download or read book Atlantic City Revisited written by William H. Sokolic and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1854, a group of engineers and railroad businessmen drew a straight line from Philadelphia to the New Jersey coast, built a railroad along the line, and created Atlantic City. From the 1850s to the 1950s, the city attracted the creme of American society and the working class alike and gave birth to the beauty pageant, rolling chair, boardwalk, saltwater taffy, jitney, and the successful Monopoly board game. But the onset of air travel in the 1950s and the aging grand hotels brought Atlantic City to its knees. The opening of Resorts International in 1978 and the prosperous gaming business that followed in its wake helped the city rise from its own ashes, and a year-round tourism industry exploded. Garish and opulent casino hotels replaced many of the boardwalk dowagers, and new palaces transformed the once desolate marina section into a vibrant destination.

Book Synopsis Boardwalk of Dreams by : Bryant Simon
Download or read book Boardwalk of Dreams written by Bryant Simon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-29 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first half of the twentieth century, Atlantic City was the nation's most popular middle-class resort--the home of the famed Boardwalk, the Miss America Pageant, and the board game Monopoly. By the late 1960s, it had become a symbol of urban decay and blight, compared by journalists to bombed-out Dresden and war-torn Beirut. Several decades and a dozen casinos later, Atlantic City is again one of America's most popular tourist spots, with thirty-five million visitors a year. Yet most stay for a mere six hours, and the highway has replaced the Boardwalk as the city's most important thoroughfare. Today the city doesn't have a single movie theater and its one supermarket is a virtual fortress protected by metal detectors and security guards. In this wide-ranging book, Bryant Simon does far more than tell a nostalgic tale of Atlantic City's rise, near death, and reincarnation. He turns the depiction of middle-class vacationers into a revealing discussion of the boundaries of public space in urban America. In the past, he argues, the public was never really about democracy, but about exclusion. During Atlantic City's heyday, African Americans were kept off the Boardwalk and away from the beaches. The overly boisterous or improperly dressed were kept out of theaters and hotel lobbies by uniformed ushers and police. The creation of Atlantic City as the "Nation's Playground" was dependent on keeping undesirables out of view unless they were pushing tourists down the Boardwalk on rickshaw-like rolling chairs or shimmying in smoky nightclubs. Desegregation overturned this racial balance in the mid-1960s, making the city's public spaces more open and democratic, too open and democratic for many middle-class Americans, who fled to suburbs and suburban-style resorts like Disneyworld. With the opening of the first casino in 1978, the urban balance once again shifted, creating twelve separate, heavily guarded, glittering casinos worlds walled off from the dilapidated houses, boarded-up businesses, and lots razed for redevelopment that never came. Tourists are deliberately kept away from the city's grim reality and its predominantly poor African American residents. Despite ten of thousands of buses and cars rolling into every day, gambling has not saved Atlantic City or returned it to its glory days. Simon's moving narrative of Atlantic City's past points to the troubling fate of urban America and the nation's cultural trajectory in the twentieth century, with broad implications for those interested in urban studies, sociology, planning, architecture, and history.

Book Synopsis Meet You in Atlantic City by : James Pettifer
Download or read book Meet You in Atlantic City written by James Pettifer and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Springsteen"€""The Boss""€"has towered over the rock world since he shot to international fame with "Born to Run" and other classics in the early 1970s. He has always been an outspoken advocate of his home state of New Jersey, which has produced many stars of stage, screen, and the musical world, and was the backdrop for the global success of the award-winning The Sopranos TV series. In this original narrative of travel and cultural analysis, historian and author James Pettifer makes his own philosophical journey in which Springsteen's music becomes a metaphor for the nature of New Jersey society. Set within the kaleidoscope of life in the state with its rich and complex history, it takes place in the key year of 2007 with the release of the brilliant Magic album at the height of the Bush administration and against the background of the intensifying Iraq War. This book takes up Sopranos producer David Chase's nostrum that New Jersey is a state of mind as much as a state, and expl

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Atlantic City as a Winter Health Resort: Embracing Official Reports, Meteorological Tables, &C., Concerning the Climate of Atlantic City, N. J., The Testimony of Eminent Physicians as to Its Effects on Various Forms of Disease, Hygienic Hints for Invalids at the Seashore A letter from Dr. William Pepper, Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, written in reply to a request from me for a statement of his experience in sending pulmonary cases to Atlantic City, was not received in time for insertion in the original paper, but is now printed for the first time. Another year's experience has been strongly corroborative of the views hitherto expressed by me as to the curative value of this climate at all seasons, but especially in the winter and spring. Last winter was much colder than the average, here as well as in Florida and all over the continent; yet quite as much benefit as usual was derived by consumptives in the earlier stages. The same may be said of persons suffering with bronchial or throat affections. But perhaps the most marked improvement has been noted in casesof nervous exhaustion in all its protean forms, and of chronic malaria. These have almost uniformly gained rapidly and steadily here under proper hygienic conditions. Testimony has been gathered with regard to the effect Of this climate upon lung diseases especially, because, while it is generally admitted that sea air is highly curative in nearly the entire list of Chronic ailments, there has been a widely-prevalent impression, both among the laity and medical profession, that consumptives are always better away from it. This impression is now known to be erroneous, it having been demonstrated by abundant Clinical experience that phthisis in its earlier stages is no exception to the rule that all the morbid results Of weakness and impaired nutrition, when not too far advanced, may hope -for improvement from the tonic and alterative effects of a dry and stimulating sea air. This fact has been well attested in Europe, and is confirmed in the fol lowing pages by the testimony Of a few of the many physicians who have long been sending consumptives to Atlantic City.
