It started raining on us in the 9th inning so we decided to head out to the car. We thought they would cancel the fireworks, but they still had them. Lucky for us, by going to the car, we got a front row seat. All of these pictures were taken while sitting in the car.

Koi pond at Short Pump Mall

Paver in old rail yard.

Snapped this pic out at the pool

Here’s the obligatory screen holding pic ; )

Uh oh, the movie’s starting… While the theater does show current movies, we were there on retro movie night. I’m not sure if they always start with cartoons, but this night they did.

One of the cartoons was a Dick Tracy episode. It was SUPER politically incorrect. The above picture is Tracy’s man on the ground “Joe Jitsu.” Complete with Kung Fu knowledge and stereotypical L/R speech impediments.

I absolutely had to include this as well. It’s called the “Goochdog” and is the concession stand specialty. And yes, it is a hotdog WITH macaroni and cheese.

Here is a marble statue of Thomas Jefferson in the lobby.

At his feet is this bronze alligator. The Jefferson actually had live alligators living in it’s lobby fountains until 1948 when the last one died. But they are still a large part of the lore of the Jefferson.

We stayed at Harrah’s. It’s a little far off of the strip, but probably one of the most impressive hotels in AC

The big thing at Harrah’s is the pool. At night they turn down the lights, bring in the bars, and turn it in to a club.  Here’s a shot as the sun was setting.

Here are some pics of the board walk from one of the piers. You can see Bally’s and The Wild West in the background.

In case you didn’t know this, the board game Monopoly, was based off of the streets in Atlantic City. Along the board walk, there is a marker at each street with the name and a little bit of trivia. Here’s a shout out to NC!

Atlantic City has one of the coolest mall’s I’ve ever been into. It’s connected to Bally’s, and built on top of a pier. As you walk in, there is this awesome fountain with real sand and sea water. All through the mall are these other great seating areas with lounge chairs and beach sand.

At the end of the first floor is this large fountain complete with choreographed light and music show.

The second floor uses blue ceiling lights to give you an “under the sea” kind of feel.

The third floor food court has some great restaurants. Check out the typeface for the Continental Diner!

Found near Church Hill

Plaque on outside wall of the Poe Museum. “This is the oldest house still standing in Richmond”

Ok, so it’s not a great pic, but the typography is still good.

Taken from Church Hill looking toward the commercial downtown. People were sledding down this all day!
