When Atlantic City floods, low-income neighborhoods are left underwater.

Wow. My grandpop lived on Arizona Avenue back in the day. My brother even drew a little diagram of the intersection of Arizona Ave and Fairmount Ave on our copy of Monopoly. We used to visit grandpop in the summer up until just right after casino gaming was legalized in AC. I remember the bay would flood the end of the street, but it was never this bad. It might come up to the intersection of California Ave and Arizona Ave but that was the extent in the 1970s.

That was an illuminating, if disheartening, read. Thanks for posting.
