New York City to Atlantic City Express Train – Fall of 2007! Two casinos in Atlantic City along with the New Jersey Transit Authority have signed a contract today, finalizing train service between New York City and the second largest United States gambling market, a spokeswoman for one of the companies said.

The service, scheduled to start in 2007 /2 008, is expected to help Atlantic City casinos attract younger and more affluent customers from New York, New York City and Northern New Jersey. Now, customers usually take either a bus or drive from New York City to the oceanside resort, Atlantic City.

I must say wanting to see the Boys 20 years after college was something to look forward to.  Alas most of the original Boys are not longer surfing this planet but the music was unmistakebly the same with Mike Love on vocals.

True it was a surprise seeing a band of 12 guys with 2 old men (boys) in shorts and white skinny legs- But we liked it.  The crowd was mixed leaning towards us folks who enjoyed the Boys in our college days- but the younger kids who probably saw the BBs for the first time definately  were into the fun tunes.
