Experience in Atlantic City



When I moved to Atlantic City in 2005, my first impression was that the city would be clean, filled with lots of good places to see and people to meet. Atlantic City is a clean and nice place to live depending on what part of Atlantic City you live in. Something interesting about Atlantic City is that it’s been called “Americas Favorite Playground,” because it has fourteen casinos and the boardwalk.

People come from all of the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, etc to visit Atlantic City. Just recently the city added several new shopping stores and restaurants. We have the Pier Mall on the boardwalk. My opinion about Atlantic City is, some of the areas need to improve because there are lots of crimes, robbery and murders going on.

A month or two ago, the city had a circus at the Boardwalk Hall; it was the first time that I had ever been into the Boardwalk Hall. There were many animals. Elephants walked on one foot, tigers jumped out from a fire ring, and there were also different jokers in the circus. Another fun day was when my friends and I went to see the Ripley’s show once. That was on the boardwalk. It was amazing. I had never seen anything like it. They showed lots of magic tricks. Some were scary and freaky. They also showed people disappearing etc.

At these shows, there are many other exciting places to visit. Atlantic City is a beautiful city to work and live in. It has lots of history behind it. The boardwalk is one of the oldest from what I know. Atlantic City is a great place to hang out with your friends or family. You will have fun.
