My Parents and I, used to go to Atlantic City, all the time when I was young.
I had Cousins who lived there. My Cousin Roy and I used to ride on the rolling chairs every time I visited.
Atlantic City's Rolling Chairs Roy was one of the nicest young people I've ever met. He was grown up when he was 11.
Roy didn't fight with a girl the way most boys did.
Everyone on the boardwalk knew and loved; my Cousin Roy, he used to run errands for them all.
We had such a good time on the rolling chairs and I remember the middle aged African American Men who used to push them from one end of the Boardwalk to the other!

The Atlantic City Boardwalk was so beautiful back in the 1950’s and 60’s!
So many great memories.
I remember; the little Taylor Ham, Pork Roll Stand, up by the the Steel Pier.
Salt Water Taffy. The Planters Peanut Store, Mr. Peanut walking around,
The pigeons who would eat peanuts out of your hand.
Boardwalk History; Air conditioned stores, movie theaters, (a novelty back in the 50’s and 60’s) and restaurants, Ripley's little museum, on the Steel Pier, The Diving Horse, cotton candy, candy apples, and so much more.
But riding on the rolling chairs with my Cousin Roy, was the best! These are my memories of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
