My old friend from the A.C. Press Edward Lea took this picture. It’s from the south Inlet area of Atlantic City. For those familiar, it’s past Showboat and Revel, along the inlet separating A.C. from Brigantine. It’s just one heartwrenching shot from along New Jersey’s barrier islands thanks to Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy. I worked down in…
“Antoinette Pelzer, 44, made strange faces, looked directly at media members and, at one point, laughed as she had her first hearing on murder charges in a Monday morning attack that killed two women visiting Atlantic City. ‘I’m just trying to find out where’s my public defender at,’ the Philadelphia woman arrested in a fatal…
Friday night, it was Freddie and Gary in town for Phillies/Cubs in South Philly. (Cubs win!) Saturday night, it was my man E Ray’s bachelor party and the Hopkins/Tarver in Atlantic City. (Hopkins loses.) Alas, I was still tied up dining at Buddakan when that punch up there was delivered on the undercard [Lavarn Harvell…

A Flemish journalist likened the two main regions of Belgium to Siamese twins with only one heart: divide them, and one of them would die. Would Brussels end up as part of Flanders? Wallonia? The European Union? Or as…
First thing I thought when I heard four bodies were found grouped together, near water, on Long Island earlier this week? Terry Oleson’s life is about to become a living hell again. Oleson’s the guy who Atlantic County (NJ) authorities kept locked up while they tried in vain to build a case that he was…
1) Father of a cop caught up in a heroin-peddling scam speaks out. 2) Gov. Chris Christie’s plan for Atlantic City. (I know what you’re thinking, but the choice of photo wasn’t mine.) 3) Manchester United 1, Philadelphia Union 0… Locals and visitors wearing the enemy red crest far outnumbered those in Union gear under…
Christ almighty, this is rich: Chris Christie says he told A.C. to get safe or else. In His estimation, they chose “else.” Since I know more about A.C. than the round mound of Trenton ground ever will, I’ll just recycle a Tweet from this morning… Does the state take-over of A.C. include a man-made mountain…
