Thank you so much for watching. Yes there is so much history. I was watching a video from 1919 in Atlantic city with old rickshaws and just that the push rickshaws are still around is amazing too me. It's great to see people keeping tradition alive. Let's keep the positivity going in Atlantic city. I will be back!!!!👍👍😎😎♥️♥️⛱⛱

I loved your video AC always gets a bad rap but wherever you go nowadays very city has bad areas. I go every year I'll be there in July and in August, there building the largest indoor waterpark in the east coast next to the Showboat. They have a small but nice aquarium and by the Garden Basin area they have more restaurants and to can get on a boat to see the dolphins.

They should hire you to do PR for AC. It gets such a bad rap because of the surrounding areas but by supporting AC , you are supporting the many residents that make a living working on the boardwalk and in the Casinos. I would love to see a water park built here, providing year round entertainment. They could place it in the nearly abandoned mall across from Caesars.
