It's been a long time since I lived near there, but I have vivid 
memories before the casinos of the city being a barren, deserted, 
crime-infested wasteland where no one ventured.  Gambling was 
legalized on the promise of urban renewal and economic revival.  I 
think the promise was never met.

30th Street is a magnificent station, although significant parts of 
it have been sealed off since the '70s.  There used to be a cool 
small train line from Philadelphia to the Jersey Shore: the 
Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Line.  It also went to Cape May Court 
House, Cape May, and Wildwood.
