Nahhhh, Ru is from San Diego. To be more diplomatic, it's like Teddy Pendergrass vs Usher haha.

True-or more current The Roots vs Outkast.

That's actually pretty tough for me-going with The Roots though.

Emporis is not a good source for highrise construction. It is not updated consistently.

I'll learn to take what you say with a grain of salt.
That's 2 cents more than what your remarks are worth.

Apparently not.

I respect RuPaul.I also respect Will Smith.However IF one was to be accused of selling out,it be Will Smith So in a sense Atlanta has stayed true to itself.Just like RuPaul against all odds.After all the Phoenix rising out of its own ashes is Atlanta's creed and mascot.

A drag queen with a prime time show in the 90's was pretty impressive and groundbreaking.

Unless you are a gambler its not much there for people unless you just don't expect much.
How can you defend such a city when the wealthy crap all over the poor and the politicians to this day turn a blind eye?
As soon as you leave the casino area AC turns in to a third world country. I'm ashamed its in America.I would NEVER tell anybody to go there.It is a sad social commentary of an American city that has fallen from grace.
Huh?? If you're not into casinos, you can go to Tangers Outlets, hit the Boardwalk, check out the Carnival, chill at the beach, shop at the mall on the B'Walk, and of course, AC has its nightlife scene to keep one busy, whether or not you're going there for the casinos. I went to AC this past summer for the third time (Before turning 21 btw) and as usual, I still had a great time.

...and there are plenty of nice areas of Atlantic City outside of the Casinos:

The South and West sides of AC are in good shape. It is the North side that is rundown, not the entire city.

It's a shame you're so against visiting AC, because it really is a blast

This past summer, I saw the other side of AC beyond the Boardwalk for the first time, and it looked pretty gritty in parts and a little sketchy in some parts yet fairly nice in others. It was pretty interesting IMO.
