TONIGHT IS A SAD NIGHT FOR ME ! THE VERY LAST RESTAURANT OTHER THAN
THE COFFEE SHOP IS CLOSING IN THE CLARIDGE IN ATLANTIC CITY . ITS
THE END OF AN ERA. AFTER SO MANY CHANGES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS BEING
BOUGHT OUT BY BALLYS ,THAN THEY WHERE BOUGHT OUT BY HARRAH'S THE
DEAR, BEAUTIFUL, SKY SCRAPER BY THE SEA " WHO OPENED IN 1930 IS
NOTHING BUT A SHELL OF ITS FORMER SELF. ... FOR OVER 18 YEARS I
SPENT THE ENTIRE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER AT THE "CLARIDGE"ATLANTIC CITY.
AFTER THE SANDS (NEXT DOOR TO THE CLARIDGE) CLOSED LAST OCTOBER
----- BALLY SEEMS TO WANT TO USE IT AS A WING OF THE BALLYS HOTEL
FOR THEIR LESSER CLIENTS/GUEST. IN OTHER WORDS ITS NOW WHERE THEY
PUT THE BUS PEOPLE.
