Have you ever craved a dusty train ride to a sandy beach full of mosquitos and biting flies? If so, early Atlantic City might have been for you! In this episode Amber and Rax talk about the Lenape people convinced to leave for some finished goods, the first family to live there year round and Pitney, the doctor who fought God to turn a dusty swampy beach into a health resort? They also talk about the freed slaves who worked at the resort and made it THE destination for working class Philadelphians. This is just the start, tune in Thursday for pt. 2, available to patrons only (patreon.com/lowcultureboil)
