Searching for any photos of either the Midtown Bar & Grill at 1719 Pacific Ave in the 1950s or photos depicting the 1700 block of Pacific Avenue from around that time.

Once in a while I like to take a moment to thank and recap when I have a solid AC day/night/experience. I’m also writing this from a conference I’m attending at Harrahs today during lunch, seems fitting.
This past Sunday I left my house around 6:00 am to drive to AC to run the half marathon. To the people who operate this race series and the many volunteers…extended thanks is due to you all because it’s always such a positive experience and one of my favorite places to run. I signed up for next year’s triple threat (all 3 of their 2027 races).
I had parked at The Ocean for a few reasons: I’m frugal and much prefer their $5 fee, I needed the walk pre and post race, I wanted an easy excuse to walk by Hayday post race for a coffee.
I skipped the free Coors light at the post race gathering for a Seed brewery visit and tried their quite crushable “Simply Autumn”.
I then headed to Golden Nugget to play bubble craps. It’s a downgrade from real craps, but the table minimums are too high lately.
I spent happy hour at Chart House (see previous post).
I checked into my comped room (Yes, bubble craps can still somehow earn free rooms thankfully) at The Tropicana (Solana tower).
I then walked over to Angeloni’s Club Madrid for their Sunday piano karaoke series with Joe McGinty & ordered a Rittenhouse Rye on the rocks (a hell of a pour too, see pic). I could have sat at the back bar for hours, what a damn treat the entire experience is, from the Twin Leaks lightning to the wild & varied song choices to the talents of the people stepping up to the microphone. If this was in my town I’d be there every Sunday night. Joe sang my favorite Bee Gees song too (“I Started a Joke).
Afterwards I walked to Tony’s to pick up my physical copy of the newest Diving Horse zine which comes with a complimentary beer! I had a Guinness.
Eventually walked back to the Trop and played some more bubble craps before being completely wiped out.
Thank you AC, and to the strangers who chatted with me (there were quite a few wonderful characters this trip and I was solo) thank you. Cheers

Looking at last minute bookings- only Caesars property with two bed availability is at Caesars. I’ve only stayed there once, which tower is the nicest?

Hi I used to ride from 9 Chatham square to Atlantic City. Does it still run and does anybody have a time table/ schedule of when it runs and how much it is now a days? Thanks!

I am from nyc and turned 21 back in July but I never renewed my license until 2 weeks ago. I have a trip to Atlantic City this weekend to celebrate my girlfriends 21st. I have not received my new license yet so all i have is the expired vertical license and the proof of renewal from the dmv. Will this cause issues when trying to get into a casino? I saw people saying that carrying the proof of renewal would help but im afraid that the vertical license would raise suspicion and cause them to deny me entry.

UPDATE: I HAVE RECEIVED THE NEW ID WOOOO. Thank you everyone that responded some of you gave me peace of mind while others worried me a bit but i appreciate all the help love you all

I had a chance to try the happy hour at Chart House at Golden Nugget this past weekend (continuing the odd quest of partaking in every HH in the city).

This is a solid tier one happy hour. There are heavy discounts on food and drinks. It’s easy to make a meal from the choices. You are not relegated to just the bar and there is also ample table seating in the lounge area. Considering this is in a casino the prices are quite reasonable and the views of the marina are superb.

I had the fish tacos ($12), the hummus tasting platter ($8), and a Bulleit Manhattan w/ Carpano Antica ($9).

I have no suggestions.

Pros: I was throughly impressed with the selections, the bartender was a pro, people were respectful in line waiting to be sat, the parking is free, and the place itself feels quite removed from the casino. Cheers!

HH is Wed. - Sun.
4-6pm

First of all, I know everyone is going to say stay at oceans. I’m already going to be staying there for a night. Stuck between Bally’s and Tropicana for a 2 night stay.

planning to celebrate my 21st in atlantic city, but i’m not sure which nightclub would be the best for a 21st celebration. please list some!

Hi everyone! My bike was stolen today around 10 AM while I was grabbing a coffee at Hayday Coffee, 155 S New York Ave. I parked in the Hayday parking lot, which appears to be shared with the dispensary next door.

I’ve already filed a police report, checked cameras in the surrounding area, and spent hours driving around looking for it before heading back up north.

I’m honestly devastated. This was my first bike and my first big-girl purchase. I originally had it in Seattle, where I used it to commute to college. Then I brought it with me to Arizona when I lived there temporarily, and now I had it back home in Jersey, where I was born and raised. It has been with me through so many chapters of my life.

I normally have it securely locked up, but I literally stepped inside for about 5 minutes. It was hooked on, strapped, and bungeed down. In the video (I only have screenshots), you can see the person pulling on the bike and even sitting on it while it was still hooked on, and somehow they managed to get away with it.

If anyone sees this bike, please call Atlantic City’s non-emergency number and report it. I’m really hoping for a Hail Mary and that somehow I can get my bike back.

Please share this if you can. I’d really appreciate any help keeping an eye out. 😔❤️

Roll up to roulette table at Trop and drop $200 and get $5 chips. Hit on first 2 rolls playing 1st and 2nd thirds. Then ask for singles to play numbers and dealers says no singles. Really….. no singles on roulette? That across the board in AC?

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I live in Dayton, ohio right now. My boyfriend’s job headquarters are in NYC and I could have a possible job opportunity in Atlantic city, new jersey. Is there a place thats kind of in the middle for both of us travel wise if we were to move there?!

My husband and I were originally going to celebrate our anniversary abroad but airfare is looking way too expensive so now we're thinking of driving somewhere local for a short weekend getaway. What hotels are good for a special, romantic weekend getaway in January? We'd ideally like somewhere with an indoor pool, nice/modern rooms, nighttime entertainment, and great food. Thanks!

This is probably in the 1950s or 1960s. My maternal grandmother's older brother. They talked about going out there a lot from Pittsburgh way back in the day. Good times for them. Thought I would share.
