Boardwalk of Dreams: Atlantic City and the Fate of Urban America

Boardwalk of Dreams: Atlantic City and the Fate of Urban America
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, boardwalk angevale and the board game Monopoly. By the 1960s, it had become a symbol of urban decay boardwalk angevale and blight, compared by journalists to bombed out Dresden boardwalk angevale and war-torn Beirut. A dozen casinos boardwalk angevale and twenty five years later, Atlantic City is once again one of America's most popular tourist spots. Yet visits last an average of a mere six hours, boardwalk angevale and the highway has replaced the Boardwalk as the city's most important street. Bryant Simon does far more than tell a nostalgic tale of Atlantic City's rise near death, boardwalk angevale and reincarnation. He turns the depiction of middleclass people with leisure time boardwalk angevale and disposable income, into a discussion of the limits of this public space. During the city's heyday, African Americans were kept off the Boardwalk boardwalk angevale and away from the beaches, boardwalk angevale and the improperly dressed were kept out by ushers boardwalk angevale and the police. The making of this space was dependent on keeping undesirables out of view unless they were pushing rolling chairs on the Boardwalk or keeping the tourist industry alive. Desegregation changed this delicate racial balance in the mid-1960s, boardwalk angevale and urban renewal projects served to destroy one quarter of the city's housing boardwalk angevale and its traditional neighborhood structure. The opening of the first casino in 1978, the urban balance once again shifted, creating a space of glittering casinos boardwalk angevale and another of dilapidated houses, boarded-up businesses, boardwalk angevale and lots razed for redevelopment that never came. Tourists are deliberately kept from the reality of the city, whose residents are predominantly poor African Americans. DespiteAtlantic City's 35 million visitors annually, gambling has not saved the city.
