...highest in the state. Atlantic City has 7,472 casino hotel rooms, but its housing stock is down by about 15% since 1980. The casinos have created 41,000 new jobs -- more than the city's population -- but the welfare rolls are up, and the number of overnight guests at the Rescue Mission has swollen from an average of 25 in 1976 to 220 today...

Some vehicles are older than the state itself. Some come from as far afield as Texas and Pennsylvania. When the trains pull out each morning, cries of "Wagons ho!" fill the air.
