On March 30, 1987, the Showboat Hotel, Casino and Bowling Center opened with a 60,000-square-foot casino and a 60-lane bowling alley. The grand opening ceremony featured Bob Hope and Al Hirt.
The complex was built on land leased from Resorts International, just north of the under-construction of Resorts Taj Mahal -- which became the Trump Taj Mahal upon opening in 1990, and is now Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.

Today, with Autism Awareness Month just around the corner, the Ocean City Police Department announced a new program to help officers identify the characteristics and behaviors of individuals with autism.
Steffen Klenk had approached Sgt. Vivarelli with the idea of bringing the blue envelope program to Ocean City, with thr ultimate goal of improving communication between officers snd drivers with autism and their families. The envelopes could be kept in the vehicles of individuals with autism, so that if stopped by police, drivers could present an envelope to officers to better inform them.
Pictured, from left to right, is Police Chief William Campbell, Steffen Klenk, Community Policing Sgt. Chris Vivarelli, Ocean City Free Public Library Director Karen Mahar and Deputy Chief Clint Helphenstine.

On the Black Horse Pike in the West Atlantic City section of the EHT stands an early Studebaker Car Dealership from 1927, a Mediterranean themed building on the corner of Toulon Avenue. It was owned by Mathis Motors, a beautiful building built before the Great Depression.
The Spanish Revival stucco building with a red tile roof was enhanced with the terra cotta Studebaker emblem on the sides. After this business closed, it went through many owners, serving as an antique shop and car repair business.
It is listed on the New Jersey National Register of Historic Places, Atlantic County. Hopefully, before time takes a further toll on the building, it will be restored to its former glory. #EHT #westatlanticcity

As we age, maintaining muscle mass and strength becomes increasingly difficult. Women begin losing muscle mass as early as their 30s, with a more significant decline starting in their 40s and accelerating after menopause. Fortunately, there’s a simple, science-backed solution to help slow this decline—creatine supplementation.

Atlantic City’s Air Show is making a comeback in 2025, a revival supported by city officials. However, details such as the event date and headlining acts have yet to be announced.
An official announcement with further details is expected soon. Mayor Marty Small credited the CRDA and Visit Atlantic City for helping bring the show back.
In addition to the air show, the city is planning a summer concert series at Boardwalk Hall. About $400,000 has been set aside to secure four to five shows, filling the gap left by the beach concerts, which the city hopes to reinstate next year.

The first jitneys in Atlantic City date to March 15, 1915, and looked very similar to regular cars. They were large, black Ford model-T touring cars, which used a rope-and-pulley system to open the back doors. Over the years, there have been more than eight different designs and at least four different colors for the Atlantic City jitneys. The current version, introduced in 1997, is a thirteen-passenger light-blue mini-bus by Champion Motor Coach. In 1982, a retired 1963 jitney was donated to the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History.
The word "jitney" is a slang word for nickel, which is what it cost in 1915 for a ride in one of Atlantic City's earliest buses. Even though the price has increased over the years, the name is stuck, and today, you can still hop on a jitney to travel around Atlantic City.
The Atlantic City Jitney Association, established in 1915, claims to be the longest-running unsubsidized transit company in the United States. Each jitney is individually owned and operated, and drivers keep the fares. The Association awards the franchises and regulates the appearance of the buses and drivers; the Association also issues fines for violations and holds its own traffic court.By Atlantic City ordinance, the number of jitney franchises is limited to 190. City ordinance also regulates the price per trip and controls the jitney routes. Most of the jitneys routes run along Pacific Avenue. A jitney shuttle also runs from the Atlantic City Train Station to the various casinos.
For jitney routes and prices, please visit the Atlantic City Jitney Association website.https://www.jitneyac.com/
