Sources: Trump Plaza In Atlantic City To Close In September.

Should be the front page headline on

www.wpvi.com.

The top story on Jim Gardner's 11pm news tonight, and the front page headline on the WPVI website, states that multiple credible sources have stated that the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino will close in Sept, which would make it the fourth Atlantic City casino to close this year.

Atlantic City is falling like a house of cards. (No pun intended). The problem seems to be, a still soft economy, too many casinos competing for business in Atlantic City, and the presence of casinos, in places where many people who used to gamble in Atlantic City, are from, like Philadelphia, and New York City, make Atlantic City's casino situation very difficult.

To me, if the news about Trump Plaza closing is true.. that would be the most dramatic closure to hit the Atlantic City casino industry

Couldn't happen to a bigger asshole than Donald Trump. 😛

Jim Gardner reported on tonight';s 6pm WPVI news that the hotel will in fact close in Sept unless a buyer is found before.

I could care less about Donald Trump. My thoughts are with the average casino workers who will lose their jobs, and be affected by this shutdown.

Me too.

Meanwhile, people around this burg are thinking that casino gambling is the magic elixir which will revive the moribund local economy.

How hard would it be for those casino workers to find new jobs? I'm sure the croupiers would get around reasonably in Vegas or Atlantic City
