Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture
They wanted booze, broads, and gambling
"If the people who came to town had wanted Bible readings, we’d have given ’em that. But nobody ever asked for Bible readings. They wanted booze, broads, and gambling, so that’s what we gave ’em."
Murray Fredericks speaking about Atlantic City, NJ

Atlantic City is practically a living testament of how we lost our "cool" over the decades. Much like our culture it went from a glamorous high class debauchery into a filthy tired sad cycle of addiction. We kept the crime and sin and loss, but lost the class and style.
