The Boardwalk

Atlantic City, New Jersey has a new logo, "Do  AC," which stands for Do Atlantic City.  Apparently the logo is catching on since the boardwalk, beach, casinos and shops are quite active with locals and visitors.  Actually, I enjoy periodic visits to the shore because I appreciate the sea breeze, squawking seagulls, ocean waves and sounds.  People in general are enjoying the ever changing activities the walk has to offer.  It certainly isn't the best place to be during a tropical storm or hurricane, but it's comforting to know the sun will once again shine and the shore will recover.








Ripley's Believe It or Not has been at the resort for a number of years, and it's fun to watch children as they marvel at the exterior with the collapsing appearance.


This handsome character was rather stiff but captured the interest of people in front of Ripley's.




 


The sun can be very penetrating, so vendors have umbrellas for rent.  It's amazing how individuals can find their home base when it appeared yellow and blue umbrellas were everywhere.




People watching can be very entertaining, but it's especially nice to meet someone like this lady from Brick, N.J.  She was so excited after winning the pink pig, her game was throwing darts at balloons. 

 
 

A new stock of stuffed toys and animals were bagged and ready for the  games of chance.  Not everyone was lucky, but there were a number of people walking on the boardwalk carrying  colorful objects of all sizes shapes and forms.  It was a great afternoon!
