I'm so glad you got to White House Subs .. it's one of my favorite places. And you're right .. their bread is the key. Those pics on the wall aren't fake either. Story goes Frank Sinatra would have Subs (ie, Hoagies) flown to him in Vegas. Bill Cosby too I think. Anyway .. great stuff .. damn .. now I'm hungry. tPet Just got around to listing to this podcast .. I’m so glad you got to White House Subs .. it’s one of my favorite places.

The properties themselves are still kind of dumpy, although I was at the mega-dump Sands, which has since been imploded. It was practically a hooker convention there agter 1:00 a - - definitely a downmarket crowd.

As bad as Vegas prices can get, it could be worse. I think you get a better quality in Vegas too for the same dollar.

(Tim stick with this) No sales tax on clothes or shoes in NJ 2. One of the reasons odds and lounges are so good are because of the competition. In a hour radius of Philadelphia you have about 5 or 6 casinos other than the ones in AC. 3 or 4 in PA and 1 or 2 in DE. Most of those are attached to horse tracks. The main difference is that the table games are the virtual table. The casinos in AC are finding that people are staying closer to home (i.e. Philadelphia) than pay for gas and tolls. (Tolls alone will cost $8.00 to $10.00 bucks from Philly. More from NY.) I may think of more later. Jay in NJ Wanted to let you know of a couple things

Mark: We were enjoying some Springsteen on the jukebox at The Irish Pub until some douche lined up a bunch of crappy country songs and began loudly ripping on Bruce. Rather than get liquored up and start a bar brawl, we decided it was time to go. Thanks for the correction, Chris.
