Abandoned - Atlantic City

Atlantic City, once a thriving tourist destination, faced decline post-WWII due to competition and changing tastes. The introduction of casinos in 1976 aimed to revitalize the city, but competition from other gambling hubs led to economic challenges. Notable failures like the Revel Casino highlighted the city's struggles. Today, Atlantic City faces high crime rates and unemployment, with many hoping for a return to its former glory.
