On episode 144 of the Atlantic City and Casino Biz podcast, Kyle and Craig look back at 1944 when a hurricane washed away the Heinz Pier and the musical Atlantic City hit the big screen. Then we get into the news before talking about potential AC trips.

The news:

• The Army of the Dead trailer is out and it’s very obviously in Showboat.
• Phillips and Souzai at The Playground are permanently closed.
• Restaurants can go to 50% capacity starting March 19th.
• Boardwalk Hall is hosting its first events since March 2020.
• A Stockton University survey shows promising signs for Atlantic City’s recovery after COVID. (See the infographic.)
