I hope reading about the glory days will prompt my readers to take another look at the city. </span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">I have offered my services as an historian and author to the various tourist groups in the resort in the hopes of telling the story of Atlantic City's rich heritage but it is very political. Hope you enjoy this story I posted on my blog in 09. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">How did the Reading Railroad enter a 227-ton ( ton ) locomotive in an Atlantic City parade in 1925 and how the heck did the boardwalk not collapse?</span><br />
Here is the story.<br />
<br />
The Pennsylvania and the Reading railroads had been battling each other for year for the lucrative shore trade. They both recognized the need for marketing and in 1924 The Pennsylvania -through its division, the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, scored a coup when it won the grand prize for floats in the beauty pageant parade with a scale model of their Delair Bridge.<br />
The Reading - and their division, the Atlantic City Railroad, were livid and hatched a plan for revenge.<br />
At the time the Reading's pride and joy was their <span style="font-style: italic;">Boardwalk Flyer,</span> a 227-ton, 15 foot-high monster that carried carloads of tourists between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. At one time the Reading had twenty of these magnificent locomotives in service.<br />
<br />
Under a veil of secrecy that would rival any covert operation today, employees began working on a full-scale model of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Boardwalk Flyer</span> in the company's service shops in Camden, NJ.<br />
They began with two Ford chassis and, using blueprints from the real locomotive, spent 6 weeks creating and assembling over eleven thousand parts consisting of sheet metal, wood and handmade fabrics. ( These guys were serious )<br />
<br />
This work of art was built by hand, and when the magicians were finished, they had conjured an exact replica of the giant engine and tender.<br />
Instead of the 227-ton real-life version, the parade beauty weighed in at 2-1/2 tons. It was secretly shipped by rail to Atlantic City in the dead of night and kept from view until the day of the parade. When it made its appearance thousands of spectators swore the genuine Boardwalk Flyer was traveling down the wooded walkway. Many ran fearing that the boardwalk would collapse. Fifteen men were require to operate the monster float. The designers left nothing to chance including an apparatus that produced steam and smoke,. The most expensive entry in Atlantic City parade history ran away with the grand prize for 1925. A tough act to follow<br />

It will be the first hopefully of many. <br />
Our goal is to show viewers the real shore as a wholesome, family destination and not the reality trash on television.<br />
Hate to let you know but there are a few new trash shows in production as I write this.<br />
<br />
Our next step is for our fundraiser to approach NJ based corporations and perhaps a few wealthy individuals that wish to show the world the real NJ Shore and receive funding to move ahead with production.<br />
Wish I could post the pilot for you but I am under legal constraints not to show it to anyone but potential underwriters.<br />
<br />
Keep you posted.<br />

It was later covered with a protective roofed structure but eventually was lost to age and Jersey Shore weather.<br />
This was an illustrator's depiction of mini Jerusalem in the late 1880s.<br />

Hope you enjoy it.<br />
Emil</b><br />
<br />
The inventor of Monopoly was Charles Darrow an unemployed salesman from Germantown section of Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
<div>Considering our current economic crisis I thought I would share the story of the game we all grew up with. I remember marathons that lasted days.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Darrow was struggling trying to support a wife and child. He visited Atlantic City as a child and later as an adult and knew the resort well. One day during the depths of the Great Depression Charles Darrow sat down at his kitchen table and decided to invent a game about buying and selling real estate. He made the decision to name his properties after the streets he knew from the time he enjoyed in America's Playground. Darrow chose streets that met Boardwalk from Park Place to the inlet.</div><div>When he came up one street short he just borrowed the name of a small, Margate community; Marven Gardens, and changed the name to Marvin Gardens. He also needed another railroad as the area was serviced by only three. Darrow took a local bus line; the Short Line and converted it to a railroad and made it famous. Hey it was his game :)</div><div><br />
</div><div>According to legend his first game was painted on an old oil cloth and he shopped it to the large game manufacturers including Parker Brothers. They seemed to like Darrow's game but felt it violated the rules of family games in that it violated the 45 minutes or under rule ( who thought of that one.) As we Jersey Shore types know a classic game of Monopoly can go on for days.</div><div>They also believed that his real estate transaction rules were too complicated for us amateurs. In 1934 they turned it down with no yes votes.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Darrow would not be deterred, borrowed money and manufactured several thousands sets and shopped them in the large departments stores of Philadelphia. The stores could not keep them on the shelf as word spread of the new "Jersey Shore" game.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Parker Brothers realized the blunder they had made and approached Darrow with a deal as long as he agreed to a few minor rule changes. The out of work salesman agreed and retired to a life of wealth.</div><div>That's the story of Monopoly.

This view is just west of Doughty's Pier<br />
<br />
A completely different day 21 years later. The Great Atlantic Storm of 1944 turned the resort into piles of kindling. Depicted here the boardwalk at 12 Street.<br />

<br />
My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting and breaking bread with Mike Colameco - star of Colameco's Food Show on PBS. You can catch it on WNYC in New York and North Jersey and WNJN in South Jersey and Philly area.<br />
<br />
Not only is Mike one of the knowledgeable people I have ever met in the world of food and wine he and his wonderful wife are Jersey Shore folks, and Mike loves to "represent" the Shore on air especially with his vintage tee shirt collection.<br />
<br />
My kids watch all the time and still talk about his Steger's Beach shirt from Cape May. Mike says it is a 1970s classic.<br />
<br />
Here is a link to find out more about Mike and his show and I hope all 21,000 of you will check it out:<br />

<b>There is no cost and it is nice for your author. </b><br />

Once we hit 1,000 registered followers on the blog we will have a great raffle. All names go in a hat and the winner gets a First Edition 1935 Replica Monopoly Game with wooden houses and original pieces.<br />
This was the year the game was introduced and the replica set includes a heavyweight game board with the original artwork along with wooden houses and hotels. Also included is a 16 page trivia book on Monopoly and naturally the tokens are sliver-toned looking liked the originals.<br />
A great gift for lovers of the Jersey Shore.<br />

<br />
The home remained in the family until the mid 1940s when the last Allen relation died and her husband reportedly sold the house and all the antique furnishings for $8000.<br />
<br />
When I purchased my cottage in Cape May in 1986 we would walk by the boarded up house with our young children and called it the haunted house. It was very scary especially at night.<br />
<br />
In the 1990s it was purchased and lovingly restored and a large wing was added to the original house.<br />

Here is a fun image of the entrance to the Steeplechase Pier in Atlantic City.<br />
George Tilyou from Coney Island, NY started the <i>Steeplechase Park</i> franchise and the trademarked franchise eventually spread to the Jersey Shore.<br />
His theme was innocent fun where the sexes could mix in the time before internet dating.<br />
A teacher or shopkeeper from a city could meet and have fun with the opposite sex in a time when it was frowned upon without a chaperone back home.<br />
BTW..the famous Tillie in Asbury Park originated from George Tilyou's demonic clown logo.Emil Salvinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06786102438482019253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843259721185911697.post-51649114867172413802010-10-30T19:09:00.000-04:002010-10-30T19:09:50.373-04:00Follow Me on this BlogIf you are reading this you were probably a fan on my Facebook site: <b>Tales of the New Jersey Shore.</b><br />
