We'll take a deep dive into the city's history, from its humble beginnings as a small seaside town to its golden era in the early 20th century, when it attracted millions of tourists from around the world. But we'll also delve into the city's decline in the mid-20th century, as changing attitudes towards gambling and entertainment led to a decline in tourism and a rise in crime. Along the way, we'll hear from experts, historians, and locals about what made Atlantic City so special and what caused its downfall, and we'll also explore the city's ongoing efforts to revitalize and reinvent itself for a new era.
