Atlantic City | TBT | You’re FIRED! TRUMP PLAZA, Atlantic City CLOSES!
These were some brief thoughts after the closing of Trump Plaza in 2014. I visited in August 2014 for a final time a few weeks before the property closed. Seems appropriate to publish, especially with all of the recent media attention on Donald Trump.

A new year (so to speak) and a new me. Or rather a new tier. That’s right kids, it’s now October and all those earned Mlife (tier level) credits are about as worthwhile as a turtle in a greyhound race. If you are new to Mlife, be sure to check out the beginning of our Mlife series on TravelZork.
