This is supposed to be the first boardwalk in the world actually - not just America and it is the longest boardwalk in the world I think. I have to look up the facts again.

You can always visit when you have the chance. :)

Although it may seem difficult for some to believe, AC does have some other things to do besides gambling. (The boardwalk and shows are two things.)
