Default Atlantic City may gut historic convention hall

Imploding world famous landmark hotels for the creation of casinos wasn't enough! Losing famous piers, every single movie palace, and so many historic structures wasn't enough! Atlantic City may gut their historic 1929 convention hall...to create yet another casino. Recently, Philadelphia saw its Art Deco convention hall demolished, but $90 million dollars was spent on restoring Atlantic City's. Will it have a future? Other cities, such as in Nevada, used gambling revenues to restore historic towns and buildings, not destroy them.
