Serp - old crew going there meaning who ? No offense to anyone who still lives in that area but I just couldn't imagine hanging around that place, imagine coming out of there with half a load on and you're basically in the slums - i guess there is a market for it and yes there are firehouses with Irishmen everywhere but I wouldn't frequent that area unless I had to. It sucks every time I go to AC it gets worse . On the other hand there was a good amount of activity on the boardwalk yesterday and today - helped by warmer weather but at least the boardwalk and casinos weren't totally depressing. Stayed at the Taj Mahal the newer tower - it was pretty nice actually and the room hallways view were good. Didn't manage to get into scores like I wanted but next time. Hopefully it's better than. Bare Exposure on Atlantic - that place is always pretty sketchy.
