Charlie Birnbaum, the world’s most famous piano tuner, whose house in the Inlet CRDA wants to tear down, is back in the news as arguments are set to be made in front of appellate judges in Jersey City, per this story in NJ.com.
Atlantic City’s syringe exchange program has operated for more than a decade from a downtown office building just a few blocks from the city’s casinos. Back when the South Jersey Aids Alliance started offering clean needles from the Oasis Drop-in Center in 2007, the site was in the Central Business District. We requested property records from the city and the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, which oversees planning in the district. The city’s most recent document for the property (posted below) shows it as having the present use “office building”. Neither CRDA or the city had any certificate of land use compliance on file for the property, at 32 S Tennessee Ave.
The City of Atlantic City Council on Wednesday will again discuss doing away with ordinances that allow New Jersey’s largest needle exchange to operate.
The Oasis Drop-In Center on Tennessee Avenue, operated by the South Jersey Aids Alliance, has existed for years in an office building on a site that was, until recently, like many others in the city’s Tourism District.

In August 2017, we published a long story on the efforts by the Trump Organization to erase Donald Trump’s name from the Atlantic City casinos he once owned, an effort that began in 2014, when Donald was in negotiations with NBC over his reality TV show “Celebrity Apprentice.” At the time, Trump was concerned about the “appalling” (Donald’s word) conditions at the Trump Plaza and the impact those might have on his brand as a business guru, or something, so he sued to have his name removed from the property.
Thirty-eight percent of New Jerseyans were either living in poverty of classified “working poor” in 2016, NJ Spotlight reports, citing the latest United Way ALICE report.
At some point in the last month or so, the USPS added screws to Atlantic City’s mailboxes to limit the drop-down opening. Now only letters or thin packages pass through.
The DOJ is investigating the Cumberland County jail after a large number of suicides and attempted suicides, the Press of AC’s Molly Bilinski reports.
Inmates got little cards asking about “large systematic problems.”
Former workers at the Trump Plaza can collect severance checks Thursday and Friday at the Local 54 offices, Lynda Cohen reports. The payouts were negotiated in 2009. The Plaza closed in 2014. I guess that’s what they meant when they said Trump was “slow-pay.”
