Fading Starr at the Pier

It has become public knowledge Steven Starr wants out of the pier. He has filed suit saying he was misled into thinking Rumjungle would open up on level 3. Drawing much needed traffic. Now Starr wants to close buddakan and the continental. Too bad because they are among Atlantic city's best.

I feel that the lack of a nightclub in the pier is it's original sin. That along with a drawn out opening allowed the venture to lack the pizzaz it promised. Closing next will likely be the 40/40.

Oy vey.

Surfing on Safari

The Atlantic City Surf are another casualty in Atlantic City's recent problems. After 12 years the team has called it quits.

I must admit the stadium and experience had been going down hill for a few years now. Though I will miss the fireworks shows. Minor league baseball without a major league affiliate is a tough sell.

Boardwalk Bullies RIP
Atlantic City Seagulls RIP
Atlantic City Surf RIP
