Is Camden, NJ really the worse city in America?

Mohegan/Foxwoods in CT...MD Live down 95, and soon to have MGM outside of DC.

So yea...I feel as though there are much better places to gamble than going to AC.

Those casinos aren't surrounded by anything except straight gambling. In ac you can outlet shop etc.
Also I take the bus to ac and don't even know if those are an option by bus. Besides, at least to me, that one variation of poker makes it worth going to AC.

They are talking about putting a casino in The Meadowlands or right outside Liberty State Park in Jersey City. I'd mess with those. I don't like gambling enough to drive to AC, Yonkers or Queens.

Yea I heard about that, would be official if they actually make that. AC would go out of business it that was the case. And yonkers and Queens aren't real casinos, shouldn't even be put in the same sentence :lol:
 
AC is lit only for the night life to many other places to gamble but i dont mind AC because its the only place close to me that has a Single Deck BJ table 

Sugar House - trash 

Harrahs philly - not bad but no Single deck 

new casino being built by philly stadiums so hopefully they'll have a single deck

Not sure about outlets near Foxwoods/Mohegan, but the outlets less than .5 miles from MD Live and MGM will be adjacent to the Tanger Outlets in PG county.

i haven't been to those places but I'm pretty sure without a car they are inconvenient to get to.

Fam, if you think the real issue in St. Louis is simply that "so many folks are ok with being marginal in life," I'm not sure what to tell you.

And I think you're inadvertently missing your own point about city size and deprivation. By most statistical measures, Los Angeles is one of the most wealthy, safest cities in the country. Sure, there are bad neighborhoods, but at least they benefit from the tax base of the rest of the city. Imagine if an entire city consisted of the three poorest, most segregated, most violent LA neighborhoods...

Also, there is no neighborhood in LA that compares to East St. Louis, Camden, Gary, or Detroit. There just isn't.

I'm not sure why people think that Gary doesn't have good neighborhoods. It's not where it was, but we're trying. (And the Chicago people aren't helping. Have they never heard of a garbage can?)

MD Live is on the same grounds as Arundel Mills outlet. The outlet has always been there and they just took up some of the parking lot to make the casino. You walk 40 feet from door to door.

is there a bus that goes there from nyc?
 
That massive mall they are building next to Giants Stadium + a casino could be cool.
I'd much rather they build it in Jersey City by the Liberty State Park light rail stop. The owner of Reebok was proposing the JC casino. 100+ story tower with hotel & all of that. Seems far more ambitious than putting it in The Meadowlands.

not really. Yonkers and Queens are fugazi and ballys got a style of poker which I really enjoy. Ultimate texas hold em, which pays 500 to 1 on a royal flush and has a bonus where you can win $1,000,000.

If u say so. Hell forget LA. Lancaster, CA is prob as bad as those hoods right about now.
 
Every city has sketchy areas..ill speak from experience

Newark ain't that bad I lived a block away in Elizabeth (not a great city either lol) but Newark is not intimidating..Ironbound is real nice and the Portuguese restaurants are ridic

AC ain't nothing to write home about but not intimidating either

I lived in JC too..couple really bad areas

Trenton, NJ..pretty bad

Irvington, NJ ..pretty bad

Paterson was already mentioned

I've been to Detroit 3 times but didn't see much..was mainly in the downtown area..it looked pretty empty to me

I drove from FL before and stopped to eat in Jacksonville..lol that was a weird area

I've been to areas in Philly that seemed real bad..one of the worst areas I've seen

Also parts of Brooklyn aren't the safest and one night we accidentally ended up in Harlem..lol

No mention of Baltimore??
 
NJ as a whole is nothing more than the 6th borough of NYC no matter how much they try to have their own identity culture it's nothing happening.I'm in Newark watching the local news and they talked about what went on in the Bronx that day I couldn't even get what the wealther was going to be like for the next day.

Its ok,at night Newark has this weird feeling where you might not see many people out but their all in the cut,walkways here and there.Walking two blocks this way or that way and your in a different part area and the streets sighs change.

Nonsense.
 
- Camden is on the brink of a legendary comeback.  Camden's waterfront has always been thriving, considering that it has fantastic Philadelphia skyline views.  Camden's problem has always been its interior (away from the waterfront) and the widespread poverty and everything that goes along with that.  Camden County, New Jersey police does a good job patrolling the area; national news networks have highlighted the crime reductions of the past 5 years or so.











- Major improvements coming to Camden's Philadelphia Facing riverfront:









- Philadelphia 76ers Basketball team practice Facility





























- New headquarters for Subaru of America:

























- Residential Apts - Condos / Business spaces:























- Potential of new SkyRide:





























- The Jersey suburbs surrounding Camden are solidly middle-class / upper middle-class / wealthy and Camden has a great view of a Philadelphia in renaissance.  A comeback for Camden is inevitable, it's just a matter of time -- and it's looking like sooner rather then later.
