So, the federal government is also to blame due to an over abundance of low income subsidized housing and they also destroyed the visual allure of the ocean by requiring super large sand dunes that block the view from the boardwalk.

Greed killed Atlantic City! No industry there as hotel owners wanted to keep cheap labor. Casinos only extended the time before it’s demise. Lived there 1948- 1969. Went to (ACHS) with Vince Vola. I was the Steel Pier’s official photographer 1961-62. Maybe two churches still operate there. St. Michael’s only one that has daily masses.

FYI for those interested - some of my circa-1990 collected imagery for "City by the Sea" was used for a 2020 montage documentary called "Trump AC/DC" - a masterful and sincere ~20-min combination of archive footage from Trump's AC hey-days that paints what I consider an meaningful picture of the era, and a foreshadowing of things to come circa 2015-2020. At the least, it provides more proof that if someone says something publicly, especially someone rich and powerful with many connections, they may actually intend to do it someday under the right conditions. Never underestimate will power and survival instincts. Anyways, here's the link to "Trump AC/DC" - no matter what side you're on, you should give it a viewing, IMHO. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXl9j6qpZNefo7g.html

Everyone already knew that something strange was going on, because of the quarantine. It's a good question though... I always figured it was urgency. They sent him absolutely as soon as they realized what they had found, without waiting for the next scheduled flight or whatever -- keep in mind that by the time he gets to the orbital it's 3 or 4 days later, the excavation has been ongoing over that time, along with the incident that Floyd's Russian colleagues mention. Another half day to Clavius Station and by then everyone is already getting really antsy... if he had waited for a regularly scheduled flight it would have taken even longer.
@scottsheckman31612 жыл бұрын
Great observation. One theory is to demonstrate that Floyd is not only a US Space Program VIP, but thinks of himself that way, which we see at the briefing on the moon (which is weirdly earth gravity, despite the scenes afterwards on other parts of the moon)...hence the space shuttle all to himself to the space station, and not too many passengers on the ship to the moon from the space station...some scholars think Kubrick is trying to subtly show alpha male dominance, like the ape-men in the sequence before where we assume the aggressive apes are all male. There are actually very few women characters in 2001, and besides the nosy Russian scientist ladies (led by a male) and a no-name woman we see at the male-dominated briefing, the few women characters in 2001 are basically servers of some sort, or mom in the video. Even HAL is a male voice, and discovery spaceship looks very phallic. Perhaps that's a 60's thing, but it was to be a forward-thinking film...but in the year 2021, a woman has only made it to the VP office in the USA, so maybe Kubrick got it right.

Why do many of these AC documentaries focus so much on the Trump casinos? AC always had gambling whether it was legal or not. See Boardwalk Empire. Trump had nothing to do with the decision to bring casino gambling to AC in the 70s. Several Casinos where already operating before the first Trump casino. He owned 3 of the 12 Casinos at his peak, and several more he did not own have come since then. And, Trump had nothing to do with corrupt Demoncrats blowing all the tax revenue over the decades to line their pockets. Democrats have run near every large city into a dumpster with their corruption for 100 years, and somehow that is Trumps fault? AC was failing before the casinos. It seems to be coming back a little thanks to the great economy in the last 3 years I hope it continues.
@scottsheckman31614 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. Just as reminder, this documentary was made in early-to-mid-1990 right around the time of the grand opening of Trump's >$1-Billion Taj Mahal in Atlantic City NJ...it doesn't blame Trump for anything except building something that maybe didn't belong in AC... IMHO, my doc is mainly a portrait of a 85 year old long-time AC resident who in addition to being a pretty good on-foot tour-guide, is having second thoughts about the city and state allowing legalized Vegas-style casino-hotel gambling starting in the mid-1970's, based on his observations, feelings, and the increasing cost of living there. This cut hasn't been changed since first edited in 1990, long before Trump became a TV entertainer and later a polarizing political figure, but just about a year before the Taj's first experience with going BK. I'm not an AC expert, but I believe Trump owned and/or operated 4 casinos in the city limits, but maybe not all at the same time which I think was against the rules (i.e max 3) - in addition to the Taj, I recall they were the Trump Regency (formerly The Playboy hotel/casino) which was about a block away from the soaring Trump Plaza, and Trump Castle was not on the boardwalk, more a marina casino/hotel that was not really accessible by foot like the 3 on the boardwalk. In any case, that's a large percentage - I think the largest any entity has had in AC, but again, I'm not an expert. Anyways, thanks for watching....and maybe stay tuned for an extended cut that I keep promising myself I'll make before I'm 85!

Hello Anthony - thanks for the kind comment. The old man in this doc is my maternal grandfather, Adolph Raske, who received that classic but discontinued first name from his parents long before WW2, actually, well before WW1, as he was born in 1905. He passed in the late 1990's at over 90 years of age. In this film (circa 1990), he's about 85 and in better shape than me today! Raised in Philly (I believe he was born there), Adolph lived in Atlantic City for about 30 years since the early 1960's with my Grandmother (during the warm months), and like many from their generation, spent the worse of the NE wintertime in Miami Beach for over 25 years starting in the late 1960's.

More than 60% of the Oxygen we breath comes from the Oceans and whales have a key role on this process. Whales preserve and feed the Phytoplankton (vegetal) O2 (di-Oxygen producer). Whales eat the zooplankton (Animal) that eat Phytoplankton. Then, Whales with their 3 tons of poo fertilize Phytoplankton. By extensively whaling, zooplankton dramatically increase and Phytoplankton eaten so much seriously decline and so, O2 producing. Then, Phytoplankton is not fed as much as before. Hypoxic zones deficiency of Oxygen in waters or called dead zones have quickly increased those last years, all Marine Species passing through die of asphyxiation. On 2003, there were 150 hypoxic zones and on 2008 there were 450. Another reason of the importance of whale is that whales are keystone species, I mean they are what we call Tropic Network. By their symbiosis and parasitism, they shelter on themselves a great number of species with their great relationship. When a whale is stroke this is not only destructive for her but for many others species as whale a biodiversity only by herself. if nothing change, by 2050 Life on Earth; all lives on Earth would begin to suffocate by lack of Oxygen and the oceans would be empty.

Maybe! I have to go check my notes and what little I have on camera of the narrator at the top (think it was an interview at city hall area)....it was a long time ago, film student project.
Joe Copa Seth is a good guy.
Anyone for Elite Dangerous?
Yes, me

Breathtaking genius
Donald Trump did more for Atlantic City than anyone. He bought boxing the Rolling Stones off shore power boat racing. He bought the Trump castle and fixed it up. He bought the Atlantis casino and fixed it up. You can say what ever you like about him but he did a excellent job promoting Atlantic City and bring people to the city.
You are exactly correct James. I will elaborate in a fresh post.
Captain Paul Watson is great Visionary on the Conservation and Preservation of the Ecosystems. He is the worthy successor of Commander Cousteau who already complained of "...lack of Moral Education, Greediness" on some humans who are destroying oceans, whales and dolphins!

More than 60% of the Oxygen we breath comes from the Oceans and whales have a key role on this process. Whales preserve and feed the Phytoplankton (vegetal) O2 (di-Oxygen producer). Whales eat the zooplankton (Animal) that eat Phytoplankton. Then, Whales with their 3 tons of poo fertilize Phytoplankton. By extensively whaling, zooplankton dramatically increase and Phytoplankton eaten so much seriously decline and so, O2 producing. Then, Phytoplankton is not fed as much as before. Hypoxic zones deficiency of Oxygen in waters or called dead zones have quickly increased those last years, all Marine Species passing through die of asphyxiation. On 2003, there were 150 hypoxic zones and on 2008 there were 450. Another reason of the importance of whale is that whales are keystone species, I mean they are what we call Tropic Network. By their symbiosis and parasitism, they shelter on themselves a great number of species with their great relationship. When a whale is stroke this is not only destructive for her but for many others species as whale a biodiversity only by herself. if nothing change, by 2050 Life on Earth; all lives on Earth would begin to suffocate by lack of Oxygen and the oceans would be empty.
Whaling condemns Oceans and so the Future of the planet! Only Captain Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd are able to fight against Japan that violates all laws of Preservation of whales and Biodiversity! (moratorium on whaling 1986 by 90 Countries and Antarctic as a Sanctuary 1994 .. and many others laws!)

I was born in 1972 in Atlantic City and it is very sad to see what happened to it. Joel m love
sheckstream omg where did u find this incredible video. i lived in AC from 86-92 as a kid and teenager. this video brought back some great memories. thank you.
Thanks Richard. Glad you appreciated and it brought back memories.. I actually made the video myself in 1990....mostly on 16mm film! A project for my film studies courses at Temple U in Philly. I had to keep this cut <15mins for the class, but I have more to add, one day when I can properly re-transfer the film and other b-roll to digital (it's quite pricey). One day.....
How about the cold December days when the wind would blow hard........and you could hear the cables slamming on the Sky Tower.
All because of NJs horrific Property Tax rete. The casinos arguably caused the appraised values of the other properties to go up so the people's taxes went up. I live in MD but my Dad's side of the family is all in NJ and I find the Property Taxes there just incredible.
I was there back then and was against casinos coming in, because I knew the casinos would not do anything for the residents, but be all for the casino owners.
