ATLANTIC CITY - Al Garrett, who has spent more than three years fighting a statue, thinks he has finally hit on a way to win his cold war.
The statue is of Vladimir Ilich Lenin, the communist founder of the Soviet Union. Lenin stands outside the front door of Red Square, the hipper-than-thou, Russian-themed restaurant and bar in The Quarter, the highly capitalistic dining and retail section of Atlantic City's Tropicana Casino and Resort.

Ever burn a bra? It ignites after a few seconds of fire contact. The flame saunters along the strap edges before gaining purpose, dancing onto the bra's cups, peeling the polyester, stripping the spandex, sending black smoke upward and leaving a charred, melted mess.

Those hoping for a sign that southern New Jersey’s real estate market has bottomed out didn’t find it in Tuesday’s report from the National Association of Realtors, which showed home prices in Atlantic County 21 percent lower than a year ago.
There was no “green shoot” — current economist lingo for a seedling of positive news — in the April RealtyTrac foreclosure report either. Foreclosure filings increased 28 percent in Atlantic County, 15 percent in Cape May County, 12 percent in Cumberland County and 18 percent in Ocean County.

I hope all my days
Will be lit by your face
I hope all the years
Will hold tight our promises
I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid
I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid
And if I need anything at all
I need a place
That's hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken
I need a place
Where I can make my bed
A lover's lap where I can lay my head
Cos now the room is spinning
The day's beginning
