The problem with AC is they are no longer the only game in town on the eastern seaboard. They didn't take care of their customers as they should have to retain them and basically treat most people as a nuisance. They were super slow to react to the landscape and felt they wouldn't suffer and people would still flow in as they did in the "past".
AC is an aging dinosaur with older properties, it's not safe anywhere outside of the boardwalk and let's face it, they have nothing to offer that folks can't get elsewhere. Ok I lied, they do have great saltwater taffy.
