This is the story in pictures of Atlantic City, the iconic American
shore resort, as it emerges from its latest crisis. The city of
40,000 people has been through many transformations in its history:
19th-Century health retreat, Prohibition-Era speakeasy, mid-century
nightclub hub and East Coast gambling Mecca. The near-depression of
the late 2000s and increasing competition from the spread of
gambling across the country upended many schemes of casino
impresarios and other developers. Many blocks of the city were
leveled for casinos that never opened. The rate of defaults on home
loans was the highest in the nation for a time. At the lowest point
of the financial crisis the State of New Jersey took over the
city's finances. Now it seems the tables may have begun to turn.
These pictures are an attempt to capture the city and the people
who live there.
