I could be wrong, but isn't this *the* famous boardwalk? The one that the song that goes "unnnder the booooarrddwalk...down by the sea..." is about? Well, it's nice and all...but if you're looking to get blown away by some majesty about it, forget it. There's a ton of souvenir shops along the way...oh wait...excuse me, I meant overpriced souvenir shops. Need an example? In our ongoing quest to get postcards, I needed to get more stamps for them. I found a machine for stamps in one that offered two $0.24 postcard stamps for $1.00. Yeah, no adjust that for items that aren't just 24 cents and you get the picture.

There are a few big casinos along the boardwalk as well, but even those pale in size to the giant Las Vegas ones. A coworker of mine from Jersey mentioned that no one flies to Atlantic City to go there. The only people that go there are from New York or travelling through on road trips...makes sense to me...
