‘Achtung Baby’ 20th Anniversary Deluxe Sets Hard to believe, but U2’s smash recording from the early ’90s, Achtung Baby, is 20 years old this year. (Has it really been that long since my high-school girlfriend and I broke up while the song “One” played on a boombox in the background?) For the occasion, one of U2’s most popular albums is getting the full reissue treatment with a 10-disc Super Deluxe version, including the full albums Achtung Baby, its follow-up Zooropa, a disc of acoustic/demo versions of the Achtung songs called Kindergarten, as well as discs featuring remixes, b-sides and previously unissued tracks. The four DVDs include videos and live performances from the 1990s, a hardcover book, art prints, as well as the insightful doc From the Sky Down. A 2-disc set features the original album, plus 14 tracks of rarities. The sets come in a variety of formats, from vinyl to digital. —Jeff Schwachter

hirty years ago, after yet another night of hoofing it on a Broadway stage, Rita Rudner went searching for the path of least resistance for a successful career as an entertainer. the road, she quickly discovered, wasn’t paved with gold. it was lined with laughs. so then and there, rudner — a classically trained dancer who left home at 15 determined to make it on the great White Way — began channeling her energies into comedy. Never mind that she was never the class clown, wasn’t naturally funny and didn’t have a clue how to write or construct a joke, let alone tell one. rudner realized there were probably more opportunities for a woman in comedy than there were for women dancers. Up to that point, rudner, who was 25, had always managed to find steady work as a “gypsy,” just another anonymous chorus dancer who moves from one show to the next. she performed in national tours of popular musicals and landed chorus spots in a variety of Broadway shows, including the original companies of Follies and Mack and Mabel. “i thought maybe i’d try [comedy] because it wasn’t such a crowded field [for women],” she recalls. she began hanging out in New york comedy clubs after completing her dance chores each night. “i became obsessed [with comedy],” she adds. ”What is a joke? What makes people laugh? What’s the persona? how do you develop a routine?” rudner, who plays her first gig in Borgata’s Music Box on saturday, Nov. 5, remembers the first time she got up on a comedy club stage. a shy and introverted person by nature, rudner convinced Richard Walker, a colleague from the Broadway musical Annie in which they were performing, to do a musical comedy set with her in a club. their “act” consisted of singing songs and stopping during each number to trade jokes. after their set ended, rudner lost her partner. “richard said it was the worst experience of my life, i never want to do it again,” rudner remembers during an early morning phone call from her Las Vegas home. “i said i kinda liked it, and i’m doing it next week.” it was more like next month. Like all fledgling comics, she had to earn a spot on an open-mike night. all the while, she was crafting her material and working on the innocent, doe-eyed, epigrammatic delivery that’s become her comedy trademark.“it was a very gradual process,” she says. failure at comedy was never an

21995 BAC Monopoly Go E16 ACW HP 4.9375x10.875.indd 1

10/4/11 10:46 AM

option, she says, and something she never actually considered. “i knew there was something i could do with that profession,” she explains. “Because even though i didn’t now how to write jokes, the first hurdle is for people to like your presence on stage. i kind of felt people were in my corner, because it was so unusual that someone that introverted would get on a stage. [audiences] kind of were pulling for me. so all i had to do was learn how to be funny and learn to write jokes.” she’s done that, all right. Between books, screenplays, and a dizzying array of standup comedy shtick, rudner, 58, has a seemingly endless supply of material. her semiautobiographical book Tickled Pink has been turned into a stage play by her biggest fan, producer and writer Martin Bergman, who also happens to be rudner’s husband. the play will have its debut in Laguna Beach, Calif., next april. in 2000, rudner went to Las Vegas to play a six-week gig at the MgM grand hotel and ended up becoming a permanent resident of sin City. the successful run led to a series of residency dates at several casinos, and she’s been packing them in at the Venetian hotel since last January. Pitching her comedy tent in Las Vegas literally changed her life. after signing her first long-term contract there, she and Bergman signed an even longer contract when they became first-time parents of an adopted child. their daughter, Molly, is now nine and rudner says she and Bergman would have never started a family if she hadn’t settled in Vegas. “We lived in a house [in southern California] that was unsuitable for [children],” she says. “it was four stories, we would have to put gates on every level, the baby’s room would have been two floors away from ours,” she says. “i would have been awake all night looking at the child making sure she wasn’t on the stairs.” Living in Las Vegas gives rudner something that has eluded her during her quarter-century of barnstorming the country doing comedy one-nighters. in that respect, motherhood was the perfect solution for her tendency to roam. “i didn’t want to be traveling any more,” she says. “i just wanted to stay home and be a mommy.” n

hen the Borgata first announced in september that it would stage a fall Poker open nov. 9-23, it looked like the casino was trying to kill off a competitor. namely, the United states Poker Championship, the city’s oldest poker tournament, which is usually held in november at the taj Mahal. But now, it’s hard to tell if the U.s.P.C. was even still alive. Did the Borgata put the final nail in the tournament’s coffin? or, is the Borgata tournament just filling a hole in the schedule left by the tournament’s unannounced demise? Who can say? the taj won’t say definitively whether the U.s.P.C. event even still exists. the casino’s Web site still promises a U.s.P.C. in the fall, but no dates have been announced. and last we checked, this is the fall. Last year’s event was held from nov. 1-22, but struggled throughout to attract players. the tournament has been hurt in recent years by a lack of a high-profile tV contract and equally high-profile sponsor such as the World series of Poker or the World Poker tour. of course, the Borgata fall open doesn’t have those things either (only the Borgata open in september is a televised WPt event). still, the Borgata has created three very successful regional events with it spring, summer and winter opens. now the casino is adding a fifth open. the taj, however, hasn’t been able to get much traction for the U.s.P.C. as a regional event in recent years and you have to think they didn’t want to take on a Borgata event at the same time. the Borgata consistently schedules weekend tournament events against other casino’s big poker events and this move may have, in fact, been the final nail for the U.s.P.C. of course, the U.s.P.C. may stage a comeback at another time of year, but for the moment, and until we hear otherwise from the taj, it looks like the U.s.P.C. is dead. that leaves the Borgata as almost the only city poker room staging special tournaments of any kind. only World series of Poker Circuit events at harrah’s resort in December and Caesars in March are left on the calendar. so since they have a virtual monopoly on big tournaments, at least you can take Like us:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

comfort in the fact that the Borgata puts on a good show. the fall open begins Wednesday, nov. 9, with a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool no-Limit tournament that carries a $400 + $50 buy-in. that’s on par with the opening event of september’s Borgata open, which attracted more than 1,700 players. Without the big-time WPt connection, however, it’s unlikely they’ll see that big a crowd, but the potential is there. the Borgata is also cashing in on its latest popular gimmick, the bounty tournament. remember the Borgata’s twist on the bounty scheme is that every player has a bounty on them. along with the buy-in and tournament fee, each player buys one real casino chip (tournament chips actually have no value) and places it in front of their stacks. if knocked out, they lose the bounty to the player that sent them to the rail. the only difference between bounty tournaments is the amount of the bounty chip. During the Borgata open’s mainevent schedule, five bounty tournaments are scheduled, each for some pretty high stakes. on nov. 12 and 16, $500 “purple chip” bounty tournaments are scheduled. the first is a $500 + $60 + $500 no Limit, twoday event and the second is a $700 + $70 + $500 six Max, two-day event. there are also two “black chip” ($100) bounty tournaments; $350 + $50 + $100 no Limit on nov. 14 and $270 + $30 + $100 no Limit on nov. 22. in addition, there are also eight bounty tournaments scheduled for secondary afternoon and evening tournaments. five are $100 bounties and three are “green chip” $25 bounties. of course, the main event is the nov. 20-23, $1 Million guaranteed, $2,500 + $200 Championship event. this year’s tournament is a Double Play, meaning anyone going out on Day 1a can re-buy on Day 1B. the casino introduced the Double Play aspect at september’s Borgata open championship event and it went over pretty well. Players start the tournament with $25K in chips. Day 1 levels are 60 minutes and then 75 minutes on following days. satellites for the championship event start nov. 17 on the secondary schedule. seven are scheduled. Most are $270 + $30. You can find the schedule at A.C. Weekly’s poker blog “the real Deal” at acweekly.com/poker. n

Then & now Issue: The InTervIews Atlantic City Weekly took a stroll down memory lane with local historians and members of the community to see just how much has changed in the Atlantic City region with regard to certain aspects of the city and surrounding areas. our interviewees, who all grew up in or around Atlantic City, share their memories of the city’s past and offer varied points of view concerning Atlantic City’s best times and its outlook for the future. re-visit and re-imagine Atlantic City as you read these interviews throughout the pages of this special “Then & Now” issue. And remember the city that at some point or another stole many a hearts, for some forever. —Katarina Corda

• Were you born in A.C.? No, I was not born in A.C., but I lived in Atlantic City ever since I was eight or nine years old. We lived on South. maryland Avenue. my family was involved in a beauty shop and we lived in the apartment above the shop. During the war years, we moved to South Georgia Avenue. • What are some of your fondest childhood memories in Atlantic City? There was nothing better to do as a child than to go to Steel Pier. I’d bring 25 or 50 cents, maybe $1, and spend the whole day there. They had all the big movies, entertainers, and big bands. I saw Glenn miller, Tommy Dorsey, Frank Sinatra, and the beatles in person. I have a lot of fond memories of Atlantic City High School. There was dancing in the gym during lunch time; two or three musicians would play. That’s where I met my wife, she was in my same class. We’ve been married for 64 years now. Atlantic City was a great place to grow up. • What in your opinion was A.C.’s greatest time period? The late 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. During that time, there was a spirit that this was a great town. People were enjoying it. It was a great town to live in, to be in business, to raise a family. Atlantic City was pretty well respected. • What do you think A.C. needs to do now to get back to its roots as a major tourist attraction in the US? I think the city needs to diversify its attractions to include more things in the entertainment world and to emphasize other art organizations. The city needs to create more family-oriented attractions. It also needs to be cleaned up and made safer. • Do you watch Boardwalk Empire? How does it compare to the real history? Yes, I do watch the show. There is a certain element of history in it, about 25-30 percent. It’s interesting to see the scenery of old A.C. but the rest is fiction. The show’s function is not to tell Atlantic City’s history though. It’s to entertain, and the show is very entertaining. n

We will be closed for a short period of time beginning this weekend

• Were you born in A.C.? no, but I visited for decades. • What were some of your fondest childhood memories in Atlantic City? Going to Steel Pier; seeing Paul Anka in-person when I was 16. I loved to listen to the polka music WLb broadcast from the Senator Hotel. I loved going into the hotels that were around then, the Shelburne, the Dennis, the marlborough-blenheim, the Traymore. I enjoyed many great meals in A.C.; I dined at Capt. Starn’s and Hackney’s. • What in your opinion was A.C.’s greatest time period? between 1954 and 1972 [up until the Casinos came]. The hotel restaurants served wonderful meals. I remember riding a trolley car to have dinner at Capt. Starn’s. I only rode the trolley a couple of times, but I loved it. • What do you think A.C. needs to do now to get back to its roots as a major tourist attraction in the US? I don’t think anything today could replace what Atlantic City used to be. I don’t think they could do anything to bring back the grandeur it once had. • Who is your Atlantic City hero and why? Seymour “Pinky” Kravitz, I love his devotion to A.C. radio commentators ed and Helen Davis; I knew them well and I had great respect for them. Joseph Hamilton, former president of Atlantic City Transportation Company, for donating old records of the A.C. and Shore railroads. • What’s one of the best times you had in A.C.? one year, my friends and I took a tour of every hotel on the boardwalk. It was the early 1960s. We started at one end of the boardwalk and worked our way down. We had one drink at every cocktail lounge in each of the hotels. I loved the revolving bar in the ritz Carlton. You stepped up on this round carousel platform, this revolving wooden platform and sat in seats around the bars. It turned slowly, it couldn’t have gone faster or people who had too much to drink might fall off. • What is your favorite movie about or based on A.C.? Atlantic City with burt Lancaster. n

Mary Kirlin, 70 retired Casino employee Current residence: Pomona • Were you born in A.C.? no, but I’ve lived here since I was seven years old. • What are some of your fondest childhood memories in Atlantic City? Going to Steel Pier: there were three movie houses in the ’50s; Tony Grant’s and the vaudeville shows, the high-diving horse, the Diving bell, hot dog and popcorn stands. The marine ballroom was huge, and all the stars would come to the music Hall Theater on the pier. I remember ricky nelson had to be moved to the end of the pier because there were so many people in the audience. They had to put a disguise on him so he wouldn’t be mobbed as he made his way outside. I loved seeing the miss America Pageant every year, and going to Captain Starn’s and all the great restaurants. I also have great memories of attending St. nicholas grammar school. • Describe your first apartment in the city. I lived in the Preston Apartments on the corner of Pennsylvania and Atlantic avenues. It was a huge apartment building with all sorts of stores underneath. • What in your opinion was A.C.’s greatest time period? The ’50s. It was a nice family resort back then. You could walk the streets day or night. It was just a great city. There was nothing to fear. There were tons of restaurants and the beach. It had everything. It had it all. • What do you think A.C. needs to do now to get back to its roots as a major tourist attraction in the US? bulldoze Atlantic Avenue and start over. I won’t go into Atlantic City now, I’d be afraid to walk the boardwalk. I remember getting done work late, 2 or 3 am, and walking from S. Carolina Ave. to virginia Ave through alleys. You never had to worry about anything. It’s not like that today. The city needs to be cleaned up. • Who is your A.C. hero and why? When I was younger I remember how much the older people around me talked about nucky Johnson. There was nobody they respected as much as him. • Are there any old A.C. traditions that you miss? During the ‘50s until the early ‘70s, they used to keep the shops on Atlantic Avenue open late on Wednesdays around the holidays. I remember getting my Christmas shopping done along Atlantic Ave. on Wednesday nights. There was the Fireman’s parade. It was a gigantic parade with fire engines and bands that took place during the middle of September. • Do you watch Boardwalk Empire? How does it compare to the real history? Yes, I’m a fan — big time. I noticed that in the show what they portray as the ritz is actually the marlborough-blenheim. It wasn’t my time, but from talking to older people around me growing up I know that you didn’t go anywhere or do anything unless you were a republican and a registered voter. I don’t believe Frank “Hap” Farley was involved with gangsters and I don’t think he was having people murdered or anything like that — that’s Hollywood. n

76ers Circa 1966-’67

Seeds for the Sixers’ successful ‘66-’67 season planted in Margate

The 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers it was on the ocean,” said melchionni, who roomed with fellow rookie matt Guokas, the team’s firstround draft choice. (the complex may have been the Canterbury, where the team had stayed in 1965). “the team brought in a chef to cook our meals,”

melchionni remembered. “Some of us would go to the beach [to relax]. Practice generally was pretty intense. You didn’t do a lot of running around afterward.” the seeds for a successful season were planted in margate as the team came

together under hannum’s guidance. Chamberlain returned in time for the exhibition games. When the regular season began, the 76ers reeled off 46 wins in their first 50 games. they ended the regular season with a 68-13 mark, an NBA record, and homecourt

advantage for the postseapostsea son. they rolled through the playoffs, eliminating the Celtics in five games, snapping Boston’s streak of eight straight NBA championships, and defeating the San Francisco Warriors in six games for the NBA title on April 23, 1967. the ‘66-’67 76ers would be voted the best team for the first 35 years of the NBA in 1980. melchionni played one more year for the 76ers before joining the New York Nets of the American Basketball Association, winning two ABA titles with Julius erving in the 1970s. “to play with two of the top 10 players of all time was an honor,” melchionni said. “to win championships with them was an even bigger thrill.” n

1965 and 1966 playoffs. “Alex had been around as a player and coach,” melchionni recalled of the 6-foot-7 hannum, who coached the St. Louis hawks to an NBA title in 1958. “i found him to be very strict, but very fair, a no-nonsense type of guy.” hannum used training camp to instill discipline and order, emphasizing that basketball was a team game. “We practiced in the morning and afternoon,” said melchionni, who was 22 at the time. “i was always exhausted after practice. the veterans knew how to pace themselves and eventually i learned.” While no exhibition games were held in margate, the 76ers held a series of intrasquad games in margate and at the holy Spirit high School gymnasium in Absecon when the Jewish Community Center gym was closed because of the religious holidays. Unlike the practices, the games were open to the public, who got a chance to meet and talk with the players and obtain their autographs. it was a different era in professional basketball, melchionni pointed out. “When we flew, we went coach, not first class. there was just the 10 of us [players] and the coach and trainer. there were no entourages.” One game on Sept. 21 was notable since only 10 players were available because of injuries, meaning that everyone had to play the full game without any substitutions. the Blue squad, led by Greer and Walker, defeated the Gold squad, led by Cunningham and Jackson, 95-88. Off the court, the team stayed at a hotel in Longport during the nearly two weeks in camp. “i don’t remember the name of the hotel, but

he third time would be the charm for the Philadelphia 76ers when the team’s rookies and veterans took to the basketball court at the Jewish Community Center in margate in midSeptember 1966. it was the third consecutive year the team had come to Atlantic County for training camp and it marked the start of a championship season that would put the team in the NBA record books. rookie Billy melchionni was no stranger to the region. he had starred at Bishop eustace Prep in his hometown of Pennsauken and was one of the top scorers at Villanova University before the 76ers chose the 6-foot-1 guard in the second round of the NBA draft. “the facilities were somewhat spartan,” recalled melchionni of the margate gym. he had considered playing professional basketball in italy before signing with the 76ers. the talent on the court was first-rate, even with the absence of center Wilt Chamberlain, who was dealing with the aftermath of a fire that heavily damaged his San Francisco apartment. the lineup included future hall of Famers hal Greer at guard and Billy Cunningham at forward. All-star forward Chet Walker, prototype power forward Luke Jackson and guard Wali Jones, a teammate of melchionni’s at Villanova, were also part of the roster. initially, melchionni was a bit in awe of his new teammates. “i had grown up watching some of these guys play,” he said, referring to Greer and Chamberlain. Overseeing the squad was new coach Alex hannum. A future hall of Famer, he was brought in to get the team over the hump after losses to the Boston Celtics in the

• Were you born in the city? Yes. • What were some of your favorite childhood memories in the resort town? My father, who was raised in Atlantic City, loved the beach and the ocean. I remember he would take us, my brother and I, as small children on short trips to the beach. This is the first summer I did not spend a day on the beach. Walking home from Holy Spirit School on the Inlet it would take us two hours to get home because we would go in and out of all the shops. We’d stop at the library, we stand out front of the Salt Water Taffy store and watch the salt water taffy machine. We’d go into the department store, M. E. Blatt’s and see what was “in.” My mother always wondered why the rest of the kids would get home hours before us. I thought there wasn’t anything you couldn’t do. You could walk on the Boardwalk, go to the beach — there was always a choice. My father loved everything about A.C., and he passed it on. I love the city. My children have all stayed here, they all lived and loved Atlantic City, like mother told them to. • Describe your first apartment. I bought a house across the street from the house I grew up in on Atlantic Avenue. We have a big family and it was large enough for everyone to come over and visit. I moved into the new home with my husband who was originally from Colorado. He always asked me, “What is it about this city?” And I’d say, “Just wait. You’ll see.” And as time went by he was really happy here and he would admit, “The city’s got something. I don’t know what it is, but it’s got something.” And it’s true. My father would always say you get sand in your shoes and you don’t want to leave. • Who is your Atlantic City hero and why? My father was my first hero. He lived and loved A.C. So that grew up in me. • Tell us more about your Atlantic City growing up. I remember walking on the Boardwalk on Easter. Everyone would go to show off their outfit — even if it was just a new pair of shoes. It was jammed with everyone dressed to the nines. When I was younger, my girlfriends and I saved up to buy something from M.E. Blatt’s, the biggest department store in AC at the time. We wanted to buy something that was alike but in different colors — we decided on scarves. We’d go in each week and make payments on our scarves, we’d pay 50 cents each time because we couldn’t afford to buy them outright. “Blatt shopping” was the thing to do back then. And there was nothing better than to come home from work, put on my bathing suit, even if it was at night, and go swimming in the ocean — I was a beach baby.

Cass Heald, 89 Historian, Retired Bookkeeper Current City: Atlantic City

Love on the Boardwalk In our interview with Heald, one stroll on the Boardwalk in particular stood out in her memory. She was walking with her girlfriends when she ran into a friend from a different group. He confided in Heald his attraction to one of the girls she was walking with. So Heald, playing match-maker, told the girl that her friend was “walking her way,” and that maybe she should go along with him. And off they went together. And later they married. Her friend used to joke, “I had to go to the Boardwalk to meet the girl I was supposed to marry.” n

• Were you born in Atlantic City? Yes. • What are your fondest childhood memories in the resort town? Atlantic City was a great place to grow up. During the summertime there was Steel Pier. You had to allocate a whole day to spend on the Pier, 10 to 11 hours, not two. Every top group imaginable during that time played on the pier. I saw most of them. There was also movie theaters, the water show, the diving horse, and all types of other games and amusements. When I was a teen, Kentucky Avenue was a great place for entertainment, there was Club Harlem and Wonder Gardens. • What changes have you witnessed to the city? What do you think A.C. needs to do now to get back to its roots as a major tourist attraction in the country? Atlantic City has changed substantially. Unfortunately, the way gaming was planned could have been done better. Amenities that existed when I was a kid should be here, but are not. The million Dollar Pier disappeared. The Steel Pier is there in a very limited way compared to what it used to be. If you look at other shore towns — ocean City, Wildwood — there are amenities for kids that could have co-existed with the entertainment in Atlantic City. Now, Atlantic City is an adult town. It is not a town for kids. It is an adult-gaming destination. but I understand that the advent of gaming was necessary, and that gaming is the economic engine that provides revenues for the city, the county, and the state. Hindsight is 20-20, and it’s much easier to look back and see all the flaws. Hopefully we’ll be able to create other amenities. This is a stressful and critical time period for the city. • What in your opinion was A.C.’s greatest time period? The advent of the casinos was a very exciting time. but I think A.C.’s heyday was prior to my time, some time during the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s. • What’s one of your favorite things about the old A.C., and about the new A.C.? Without question, the greatest amenity I had growing up as a teenager in Atlantic City was the Steel Pier. I wish that my children could experience it or something like it. I’m also lucky that I got to take advantage of places like Club Harlem and Wonder Gardens — that’s a bygone era. A.C. has always had tremendous entertainment; I’ve seen everyone from Ella Fitzgerald to Chicago to Earth, Wind and Fire to Frank Sinatra. I’ve talked to and know many people who got their start in clubs in A.C. Every entertainer that I’ve talked to who has played in A.C. has nothing but wonderful things to say about it, nothing but wonderful memories. most prefer old A.C. to new A.C. It was different to play back then — smaller, more intimate settings. A.C. still has great entertainment and some of the finest restaurants you’ll find anywhere — we take it for granted because it’s in our backyard. • Who is your Atlantic City hero and why? I couldn’t isolate one person [as] there are so many people who helped A.C. and many people who helped A.C. progress. Steve Perskie and his work with the advent of casino gaming. And people like Jimmy Cooper who did a lot for Atlantic City, who fought to preserve old aspects of the town like the jazz festival, that eventually fell by the wayside; 14 years of Ella Fitzgerald and buddy rich — they’re things you just don’t get anymore. n

Hunger for History?

Dock’s, the Knife & Fork and several other local dining establishments have become synonymous with the area landscape, some for centuries. By Frank Gabriel

wo and half decades prior to the atlantic city depicted in Boardwalk Empire, our region’s original dining dynasty began. harry “dock” dougherty opened the doors of his eponymous seafood house, Dock’s Oyster House, at 2405 atlantic ave., in 1897. in the intervening century, thousands of other local restaurants have arrived, run their course, closed and thoroughly disappeared into the mists of time. and still, dock’s remains. having never swerved from an original commitment to providing the very freshest — much of it locally sourced — seafood, it has maintained a special cachet despite the arrival of spectacular, celeb-chef facilities at virtually every casino. if you happen to be an oyster lover, dock’s is a true mecca. Typically serving a minimum of a half-dozen assorted varieties, their raw bar personnel are crafty, surgically skilled pros who can deliver those pristine mollusks with amazing rapidity.

more popular entrees include the seafood imperial, the surf and turf, and tilapia topped with spinach and lump crabmeat.

Tony’s Baltimore Grille

opened in a.c.’s inlet district during the 1920s, Tony’s moved to its current location (2800 atlantic ave.) in 1966. Thin, crisp and downright guaranteed to singe the roof your mouth, their pies are admirably simple, yet, in this writer’s opinion, just about the most authentic outside of sicily. it’s peasant fare done with great reverence and restraint. while the place serves a full menu of seashore and italian cuisine, it remains pizza, first and foremost, which will always define the Baltimore Grille. it’s also the greatest latenight/early morning, post-pubbing, inexpensive grub you’ll find. hunker down at a booth with your own jukebox in the delightfully dim barroom — never the official dining space that is tourists only — and enjoy a slice of real atlantic city flavor.

The Ram’s Head Inn

named for former owner/art impresario fred noyes’ aries zodiac sign, this northern atlantic county institution has existed since early days as a pre-wwii roadhouse. sold to harry Knowles in 1978, his organization kept the name, but added a level of sophistication, based on Knowles’ experience at a flagship facility, The Manor, in west orange. These days it’s a white-glove, fine-dining and specialevent destination with very few peers. n

Yama’s Sushi’s Superb

Whatever you choose, you’re in for a treat — those superhero chefs don’t just cook, they create works of edible art. “We can make your plate look beautiful,” owner Ken Gao boasts. “It’s about taste and presentation.” Enjoy the taste and look while relaxing in the casual feel of Yama Fusion. bYob accommodations allow you to top off a great meal with some sake or any other beverage of your choice. For dessert, check out the fried ice cream, fried cheesecake, or fried banana (yum!). The best part: it’s affordable and fresh, so you don’t have to sacrifice quality or your bank account. There’s never been a better reason to spice up the old meal-time routine. So forget the sandwich, and get the customer-acclaimed “best Sushi in South Jersey.”

Everybody needs a superhero. Even your taste buds. Enter: Yama Fusion Japanese of ventnor — responding to cries for help (i.e. growling stomachs) all over southern New Jersey. This fusion-style restaurant blends Chinese, Japanese and Thai styles to create one-of-a-kind dishes and new takes on traditional Asian cuisine. Their innovative chefs will save your taste buds from another dull meal with flavor mash-ups and inventive combos that make returning customers and first-timers alike “oohh” and “ahhh.” Taste for yourself the daring genius of Yama Fusion when you try their most popular dish, Sushi Pizza: an Asian-style pancake spread with guoi sauce, topped with seaweed salad, and finished with spicy tuna. or try the owner’s pick, the Hot Lava roll, a combination of spicy tuna, avocado, and chicken tempura wrapped in seaweed and topped with eel and sriracha sauces. one of many vegetarian highlights, the Garden roll, made with cucumber, avocado, apple, and mango wrapped in a fried banana and drizzled with mango sauce, is sure to delight those herbivores out there. If your a less adventurous eater, stick with the traditional and try a teriyaki dish or any of the classics left untouched.

Name: Q & A’S #6; Width: 4.9375 in; Depth: 5.375 in; Color: Black Advertising Current Residence: Atlantic City plus three Were you born in Atlantic City? Yes. What are your fondest childhood memories in the resort town? The boardwalk, Steel Pier, boating on the bay. marion Hackney, one of the first people on the diving horse, gave me swimming lessons at the Chalfonte Hotel’s salt-water pool. I remember I’d have seaweed in my mouth while I was swimming. my father and I used to eat out every night of the week, and we’d go to the same restaurants every week. We’d go to Chef vola’s, I’d jump out of the car, run up the steps and knock on the door. Then I’d go back downstairs, they’d unlock the restaurant and cook us dinner, just us, no one else in the place. Today, you can’t get in without a reservation made a year in advance. We’d go to Angelo’s Fairmount Tavern and Angelo, the grandfather, would make us homemade meatballs and homemade wine. What in your opinion was A.C.’s greatest time period? The first 10 years of the casinos. It was busy. Gaming brought people to the town. It was starting to turn into a destination. It was a town where people came to be entertained. What do you think Atlantic City needs to do now to get back to its roots as a tourist attraction in the U.S.? Atlantic City should have been the Las vegas of the east. It should have been the number one resort in the world with the beach, the boardwalk, and the three biggest cities in the world within driving distance. Hopefully, the state will come in and turn it around. but they have to make up their mind whether they want this to be a family destination or “Sin City.” They need to bring in attractions other than gambling, clean up the beaches, bring back security to the city, and there needs to be a focus: where are we going? Who is your Atlantic City hero and why? [new Jersey] Governor [Chris] Christie for sending in troops to take over Atlantic City. Throughout your time in A.C. what’s one of the strangest things that happened to you? I remember being dropped down to the bottom of the ocean in the Diving bell at the Steel Pier as water leaked in from all around. There’d be about 10 people in it and the whole way down water would be pouring in, coming in from around the windows. Do you watch Boardwalk Empire? How does it compare to real history? Yes, I do. my grandfather was the chief of the vice squad during that time period and the stories I heard are totally different from the way Prohibition is described in the show. most people around that time were afraid to commit crimes. nucky Johnson was a benevolent friend of everybody, and he was very close to my grandfather. Entertainment in AC black tells the story of the time the beach boys came to town for their historic free beach concert: “I parked cars at the time,” says black. “When the beach boys made their appearance live on the beach there was not one more space in the whole city to park one more car.” black also recalls a story of his father, who worked security for the A.C. Convention Center [now boardwalk Hall], transporting the beatles from the arena to their hotel using city buses, a White House sub truck, a bruno’s truck, and limo decoys to escape the thousands and thousands of fans. n

from the start, starn’s was one of the city’s last must-see attractions. “it was like a mini-circus,” says hulme. “they initially even had porpoises in a tank there, but they found that they didn’t winter well here. so they let them go and brought in sea lions. they stood up better in the winter and became a tradition.” starn would recruit his fellow inlet captains to operate from the center, built his own vessels and a line of speedboats, constructed a fish market and basically made starn’s one of the inlet’s most glorious successes. “he was just a great businessman,” says hulme. “he got it. he would spend 90 cents to make a dollar. it became a pretty great place.” along with another iconic inlet restaurant, the nearby hackney’s (opened in 1912), the inlet would thrive well into the 1960s. But the inevitable decline would come. starn died in 1969 and while his business survived another decade, it closed at the very beginning of casino gaming. hackney’s, under different ownership, closed in the early ’80s. some of that inlet tradition, however, still exists at gardner’s Basin, itself famous for being a popular landing site with rum runners during Prohibition. the maritime park offers restaurants with waterfront dining (and drinking), ocean cruises through atlantic city cruises, and even returned the tradition of live sea animals at the atlantic city aquarium. the inlet has, as we said, slowly been coming back through the years. maybe great days are ahead. there are certainly enough memories to build on. n

hen casino gaming first came to atlantic city in 1978, with promises of revitalizing the city, one of the first areas that community leaders had wanted to see reborn was the city’s inlet section. and that would be both sides of the inlet, north and south. at the time, the south inlet sat mostly barren and vacant, its homes demolished and its lots cleared during an ill-fated urban renewal scheme in the mid-1960s, championed by Pauline hill, then director of the city housing authority. it was dubbed Pauline’s Prairie, and while it did remove blight, it also ended the south inlet as a thriving neighborhood. much of it sits vacant to this day. the north inlet, however, still had all the trappings of decay and urban blight that hill had hoped to erase into the ’60s. constructed to out-of-date building codes, subject to a constant series of suspicious fires in the ’70s that left many buildings gutted, and just overall general decay, the remnants of a once proud neighborhood sat like empty brick ghosts. today, mostly through housing projects and demolition funded and supported by the casino reinvestment Development authority (crDa) in the north inlet, and casino projects such as the showboat, taj mahal and the ongoing revel project in the south inlet, both areas have staged comebacks, even if there is further to go. But like so much of the “old” atlantic city before the resort’s decline in the ’60s, the inlet can only hope to regain the stability it once had. from the early days of the city through

Comparing HBO’s Nucky Thompson with his real-life counterpart

hree older genTs siT on a Boardwalk pavilion bench and feed the pigeons. “But i read it in the newspaper,” says #1. “don’t believe everything you read in the papers,” says #2. #3 jumps in. “i saw it on television.” #1 and #2 both look at him with arched eyebrows. A good television show, of course, induces the viewer to believe the characters and events in its created world. Nucky Thompson, kingpin of the Atlantic City depicted in the compulsively watchable HBO series Boardwalk empire, has a scripted agenda. Because the show is stellar, the script disappears. In truth, Steve Buscemi’s iron-fisted yet tortured Thompson, born with the show in September 2010, shares the same species as, but is a different animal than, seashore boss Nucky Johnson, born January 1883. The screen character, for example, has a tolerance — at times, a preference — for bloodletting. But real-life Nucky’s town was hardly the savage land we crave and cringe at on cable. Certainly not instigated by the Boss himself. “There was no crime in Atlantic City — they [the “organization”] took care of crime,” says local resident Richard Black, whose grandfather was a law enforcement official at the time. The crime that Black means is the capital kind. While Nucky and company were “taking care” of crime, their own brand was devoid of splattered guts and severed body parts. “There is no reason to believe that Nucky

Onscreen Nucky shares the original’s “He was considered a good guy who cared insistence on natty attire and, to a lesser about people.” TV’s Thompson is not averse to peeling extent, a taste for nightlife and pliant women. (Thompson strikes us as less a party animal off dollar bills for his constituents, but does than a deft arranger of raucous soirees to it with much less gusto.

antithesis of Johnson’s. Buscemi, slight of build and a master of quirk, does not play hail-fellow-well-met types. Vintage Nucky was well over six feet tall with a large frame, a booming voice, an unrestrained infectious laugh, and an iron handshake. His was a larger-than-life figure that strode the boards like a conquering Caesar, yet remained accessible to the common man. By contrast, Nucky Thompson, though attentive to public duties and no stranger to the Boardwalk, is essentially an introverted soul less sympathetic to the populace and even more manipulative — witness his twofaced relationship to the black community and equally adroit northside enforcer Chalky White (played by Michael Kenneth Williams). Above all, Thompson seeks to maintain order, status quo — whatever it takes. Nucky Johnson’s maintenance tasks were not nearly as daunting, but that makes for less compelling drama. Changing Nucky’s surname is consistent with the latitude sought by Boardwalk empire producers in sculpting the character. Verisimilitude abounds, but there are marked differences as well. Meanwhile, the comparison is not static; we’ll see how Mr. Thompson evolves in the coming seasons. His progenitor, however, is in the books — Enoch Lewis Johnson was born in Galloway Township when Chester A. Arthur was in the White House, and died in Northfield a month after Richard Nixon’s election. By all accounts, he respected his mentor-predecessor, Louis “Commodore” Kuehnle (emphatically not the case in Be). And he routinely wore glasses as well as carnations. n

common perception today is that the vast area known as the new Jersey pine Barrens is an undeveloped, undisturbed expanse ideal for fleeing the daily grind to find a little peace and tranquility. ask the average non-southern new Jersey resident what images the pine Barrens conjure up and you might hear about the endless tract of trees they drove through to get to the seashore, the folklore of the Jersey devil, or the place where paulie and christopher got lost trying to bury a body on The Sopranos. the pine Barrens (or pinelands) is, in fact, one of the largest contiguous stretches of wilderness on the east coast, encompassing parts of seven counties, three state forests, and over a million acres protected by the state dep. “Barrens” is sort of a misnomer, though, in that hundreds of species of plants and animals — many indigenous and completely unique to this area — lurk in those bogs, woods and creeks. What is also erroneous is the common assumption that the pine Barrens is, and always was, undeveloped. in fact, when the nation was in its outset during the 18th and 19th centuries, the pine Barrens was a hub of all sorts of industry. Harvestable food sources that managed to thrive in its sandy, acidic soil include cranberries and blueberries, and the pinelands also teemed with gristmills, logging mills, paper and glass manufacturers and — undoubtedly the most notable asset of its bygone era (and one that played a huge role in the manufacture of, among other things, weaponry and supplies for the revolutionary War and War of 1812) — iron production.

WHITNEY’S RADAR

New Social Network for Bartenders M By Whitney Ullman

any of you have attended the Bartenders Ball in years past, the annual atlantic City event that benefits the heRo Campaign for designated drivers. every year the efforts of andrew Wells, founder of the atlantic City Bartender training Center and the Responsible Bartenders of america (RBa) association, and Jamie Muratore, the sales and marketing director for the heRo Campaign, can count on hundreds of bartenders, workers in the service industry, and supporters with a common cause to attend the event and help raise awareness about key issues — foremost being the promotion of designated drivers and drinking responsibly. Knowing there was a real need to promote more responsibility within our country’s ser-

vice industry, Wells brought his vision to life by starting the RBa social network. the core concept of his brainchild is that it’s really a professional restaurant/hospitality business association that unites bartenders, servers and other restaurant and food-service employees who serve alcohol on a single online platform, with the goal of creating a unified voice to express RBa’s concerns. Some pressing concerns are based on responsible serving and handling of alcohol and the influence of laws and regulations designed to protect bartenders, servers and managers at all food service, hospitality and entertainment entities that serve alcohol. When I first heard about this program I wasn’t sure what to expect, but after checking out the Web site, rbanation.com, and reading the overviews of everything offered from tIPS (training for intervention pro-

mote responsible behavior regarding serving and drinking alcohol. the goal of the RBa is that the more members it has, the greater representation and bargaining power they will have over the power of influence for cedures) certification to discounted health responsible legislation. With its moniker “Leading the Industry benefits and car insurance for bartenders and hospitality workers, I thought that this Into a Responsible future,” I’m confident is surely a well thought out organization that that Wells and his team will see their dreams come true, as this can become the will soon be widely used across the nation. nation’s no.1 resource for everyone in not only does the RBa offer great incenthe service industry.

Can you hum the melody to one of the biggest hits about Atlantic City? Most songs about the seaside resort have been buried in the sands of time.

By Jeff Schwachter

eventy-five years ago, then atlantic City Mayor Charles White decided to sponsor a songwriting contest. the prize was a cool $1,000 — pretty big bucks in those days — and the mission was to write a song about atlantic City.

from) to enter and rig the contest. Ultimately, a song called “atlantic City by the sea,” penned by atlantic City residents and musicians alma Price and vincent e. speciale was deemed the city’s official song and “sittin’ in the sand” was soon washed away with the tides. Many other songs have been written about atlantic City — as well as other Jersey shore towns, such as Ocean City — most notably, Bruce springsteen’s sparse 1982 track “atlantic City,” from his Nebraska album. another song of the same name was also introduced during the early stages of the city’s casino era, written by local resident and musician eric Madison who played with the band the Magnets. it too has faded with the shifting sands of time. included among many earlier efforts is the “atlantic City rhumba,” written in 1949 by local bandleader and accordion instructor Pedro albani; “the atlantic City Pageant,” written by John Philip sousa in the 1920s; “the City by the sea” from 1888, a song played by a Philadelphia minstrel band; “atlantic City by the rolling sea,” published in 1941; 1912’s “atlantic City all the time”; and the song that garnered the most popularity of them all (aside from springsteen’s), a little ditty called “On the Boardwalk (in atlantic City),” from 1946’s 20th Century-fox musical Three Little Girls in Blue, set in atlantic City. another a.C.-centric classic? “Why Don’t you try (the rolling Chair song).” see the sheet-music covers on this page to see more regional songs of yesteryear, many of which can be found at Princeton antiques in atlantic City — at least for your perusal. Maybe it’s time atlantic City had another songwriting contest. n

Composers and lyricists — some professional, some amateur — from across the country entered, including several from a special new Jersey division, which included many city residents trying their hand penning songs. Most of the songs entered in that separate statewide contest, the finals of which were held at the Hotel traymore on June 3, 1936, have long been forgotten. the song that won, “sing a Little Diddy about atlantic City,” written by Ocean City resident Walter Doyle, didn’t even make it into the semi-finals. On June 21, 1936, the overall contest winner was selected by judges at the steel Pier. Composer Dorothy Dick and head of irving Berlin Music Publishing Company, Harry Link, chose the song “sittin’ in the sand a ‘sunnin,” attributed to ted shapiro. a controversy, however, erupted and by the next morning, many of the resort’s hoteliers met with mayor at length. they told him that they thought the song was “too jazzy,” according to reports, and persuaded the mayor to nix the win in favor of a song that better expressed the dignified spirit of the city. aside from the winning song apparently being terrible, as the mayor himself admitted, there was a sense that the win was rigged and that the $1,000 prize spawned a few corrupt folks from new york’s songwriting central, tin Pan alley (where the judges came

Renault’s Prohibition Loophole The local landmark managed to stay open during Prohibition. And did you know Nucky Johnson once worked there? By Lori Hoffman

hen you are talking about then and now in the atlantic City region, renault Winery has to be near the top of the list in longevity. the oldest continuous commercial winemaker in new Jersey, the house of renault was founded by Master vintner louis nicholas renault in 1864. Finding a climate and soil similar to that which he knew in France, he decided to settle and establish his own vineyard. think about it — our nation was still engaged in the Civil War when renault first opened its doors in egg harbor City. by 1870 he had introduced his new Jersey Champagne. renault Winery soon won prizes for its wines and became the largest distributor of champagne in the united States. the atlantic County city itself, founded mostly by german immigrants, was an important stop for travelers from Philadelphia in the late 19th century since visitors going to atlantic City had to change trains in egg harbor. a few decades later, renault was faced with the problem of losing its right to make wine because of a national ban on booze. When Prohibition was instituted with ratification of the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution on Jan. 16, 1919, which prohibited the “Manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the united States,” it could have been the end of renault. however the winery was able to slip through a loophole in the law. in 1919, John D’agostino and family bought the winery and continued to operate it during the 14 years of Prohibition under a special government permit. this permit allowed the production of wines for religious and medicinal purposes. renault Wine tonic, which had an alcoholic content of 22 percent, became the chief product and was sold in drug stores throughout the nation. a label warned not to chill the tonic, as it would turn into wine. Joseph Milza, a former newspaperman, purchased the property in 1977 and part of the appeal was the history. as Milza explains, “the original owners, the renault family, wanted out of the business [when Prohibition was arriving]. John D’agostino purchased the Like us:

Renault celebrating the end of Prohibition in Egg Harbor City, Dec. 4, 1933 property in 1919 and brought with him a permit to make sacramental wines and renault Wine tonic. he had planned ahead and was well prepared to keep the business going.” in essence, churches and snake-oil salesmen helped keep renault Winery afloat during the era when nucky Johnson was running his “boardwalk empire” 16 miles down the White horse Pike, so colorfully fictionalized in the hit hbo tV series. and here’s an intriguing fact: nucky Johnson was jailed for tax evasion in 1941, and after he was released in 1945, he spent some time working at renault Winery with his wife Florence. “Flo worked in the gift shop at renault while nucky was still incarcerated,” says Milza. “and when he got out he worked parttime as a salesman for renault. he was very good at selling things to people.” that was then. this is now. renault Winery has thrived even in these tough economic times thanks to Milza, who purchased the property during a period of decline. he admits that it was tough to balance expansion of his property while staying within the state restrictions of the Pinelands Commission that regulates construction with an eye to keeping the Pinelands pristine. he had to battle and compromise, but Milza managed to stay within those restrictions and still expand the scope of renault, first with the tuscany house hotel in 2000 and in 2004, with the opening of Vineland golf at renault. this, combined with the earlier conversion of the renault restaurant into the renault’s gourmet restaurant and the addition of Joseph’s restaurant, helped usher in continued prosperity. renault Winery retains the quaint charm that has made it so inviting to visitors for generations, enhanced by its colorful history. n

By Lori Hoffman

“the world’s Playground.” there is also a little movie you might want to check out on dVd. Duane Hopwood (2005) stars david schwimmer as a drunk trying to get his life back together. it was filmed in atlantic City and Longport in 2004, directed by actor Matt Mulhern, who grew up in Philadelphia and Longport. and if you look closely, you will see a scene that features a copy of Atlantic City Weekly on a coffee table. several gambling-themed movies have used atlantic City as a background. George Clooney was here for a few days to film a scene in Ocean’s Eleven (2001) and his co-star Matt damon was a poker pro who shows up at the taj in Rounders (1998). Paul newman and tom Cruise played in an a.C. pool tournament in The Color of Money (1986). atlantic City has also been the setting for a particularly awful Brian de Palma movie starring nicolas Cage, Snake Eyes (1998), in which Cage plays a corrupt a.C. cop who gets caught in the middle of an assassination plot. Of more recent vintage, Gerard Butler and Jennifer aniston made parts of The Bounty Hunter (2010) in atlantic City. Unfortunately this movie was so bad it earned a Razzie nomination as worst film of the year. The Oranges, starring hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, allison Janney, alia shawkat, adam Brody and Leighton Meester, debuted at the toronto international Film Festival in september. it features several scenes filmed in atlantic City and is due for release in 2012. n

t its heyday, when it was known as the world’s Playground from the 1920s through the 1960s, atlantic City was referenced in numerous movies, including Citizen Kane. and, even before that, the town was the subject of several shorts made by thomas edison’s film company, according to iMdB (the internet Movie database), which lists Circular Panorama of Atlantic City (1901), Life Rescue at Atlantic City (1903) and Parade, Fiftieth Anniversary Atlantic City, N.J. (1904). Three Little Girls in Blue (1946) was partially filmed in atlantic City and featured the song “On the Boardwalk (in atlantic City).” the 1944 movie Atlantic City is a musical about how it became a famous resort, and in Citizen Kane (1941), there is a flashback set in atlantic City. the 1957 film, The Burglar, which starred Jayne Mansfield, was also set in atlantic City. a review of Convention Girl (a.k.a. Atlantic City Romance 1935) suggests that, “those viewers interested in United states social and cultural history will have a whale of a time watching incorporated footage of the era’s atlantic City Boardwalk, including scenes of acrobats, the famous diving horse at steel Pier, vast crowded beaches, and the still popular wicker rolling chairs, all nicely integrated into the scenario.” however, when it comes to the best movies filmed here, the top two were Louis Malle’s magnificent Atlantic City (1981) and Bob Rafelson’s The King of Marvin Gardens (1972). Both looked at the city when it was on the ropes. in particular, The King of Marvin Gardens uses the crumbling atlantic City as the perfect metaphor for its story of losers and schemers looking to pull off a get-rich quick scheme in a dying city, and to establish the uncomfortable relationship between two brothers (played by Bruce dern and Jack nicholson). while i was annoyed director Rafelson showed jitneys going downtown on atlantic avenue, it is a brilliant film and features one of nicholson’s best performances. Malle’s film is a fascinating examination of an atlantic City that was in the very early stages of its revival. the film features the exquisite pairing of susan sarandon as a raw-bar waitress hoping to improve her life by becoming a dealer and moving to Monte Carlo, and Burt Lancaster as an aging numbers runner who seizes an opportunity to be a high roller for once when he lucks into a cache of drugs. the film perfectly captures the early transformation of atlantic City as it was striving to once again be known as
