It’s very difficult to hear that so many jobs are being lost in Atlantic City. There are alot of people that are being affected by the economy and jobs are being lost all over the place. I travel to Atlantic City 3 to 4 times a month and I definitely see the effect of the downsizing in this city. It’s such a beautiful city and so enjoyable. I know things will turn around soon. Peace.
