I'm staying at Harrah's, and from the hotel, I can see the Atlantic City Wind Farm, which is a set 5 new wind blades which power some of the city. It's a pretty neat sight, but one of the few and rare sights. This city is a bunch of senior citizens!! Ahhh!
Today was an OKAY day. After working a 10 hour day at the FAA Tech Center, I was able to get some time to rest and relax, hang out, and TRY to go get dinner with some co-workers. Oh the horror, as Vu would say... we go to my car to find that the car won't start! The battery died, for some reason! argh. We ended up eating at the hotel cafe which was decent, and then went around the casino for a bit, lost a few bucks, and then went to deal with the car.
After getting the car restored, I took a drive around town, but was literally too scared to get ouf o the car. hahaha. This place is not only senior citizen, but totally NOT Vegas or even Reno like. The hotels are totally spread apart, even on the main strip, and between each hotel is totally ghetto and run down homes, store fronts, and abandon buildings. It's a very interesting mix of rich and poor. Those streets in Monopoly don't really fit the "property value" in the game. I drove down Pennsylvania and it was totally like going down a dark alley way. I haven't had a chance to go down the Boardwalk yet, but if I get out of work early tomorrow, I'll try to hit that up. Go outside before it gets too late!
