 Gordon's
Alley became a festive oasis on Thursday, May 27, as the Atlantic City Regional
Chamber of Commerce, along with Main Street Atlantic City, and the merchants
and casinos of the Special Improvement District, hosted a Hawaiian Luau
summer mixer special event.A ribbon-cutting ceremony started off the evening as Main Street Atlantic City officially opened the doors to its new office at The Garage in Gordon's Alley. Guests and visitors then made their way on to the alley for an evening of food, fun and live music.  Decorated
with aqua-colored tableclothes, tiki torches, tropical plants and grass
skirts, Gordon's Alley had a true "island" flavor to it. To make
the occassion seem that much more authentic, hula and warrior dancers (left
with ACSID Economic Development Division Assistant Manager Stellzene Roberts),
and even a fire eater (above right) thrilled the crowd and got spectators
personally involved. The dancers scoured the alley, seeking out those who
would stand up in front of the crowd and give the traditional dance routine
a go.In between the shrills of laughter was the live music of "Island Jam," while guests were treated to the many great varieties of food, courtesy of Le Grand Fromage. Joining in on the fun this evening were many local dignitaries, such as Mayor Lorenzo Langford; Director of Planning Keith Mills; Deputy Mayor Ernest Coursey; Councilman Eugene Robinson; Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority Vice President Tourism Sarah Lindkrantz; and Chamber of Commerce President Joseph Kelly, among many others.  Cool
temperatures and a slight breeze couldn't dampen the joyful spirits at O'Donnell
Park on Saturday, April 10, as local children and their parents came out
to enjoy the 5th annual Meet Mr. Bunny special event (below right).Fun games, tasty candy and popcorn, and the Easter Bunny mingling about kept the children smiling and very happy. Inflatable jumpers also had the children bouncing off the walls. This year's event was sponsored by Main Street Atlantic City, the City of Atlantic City, Councilman Dennis Mason, and the merchants and casinos of the Special Improvement District. |
