Never gonna happen but one can dream.

Brigantine is not a bad beachI should have included this in my original post, but when I go to Atlantic City, I go to the beach in Brigantine, which is just right over that bridge near Harrah's. I go for a walk out on the beach in AC later on in the afternoon or early evening when its less crowded, but as far as spending the day at the beach, I do that on Brigantine.
First introduced to Wawa in Jersey, have them here in Delaware - nothing in CT to compare. My nephew loves the place for subs when he's down here from NY. Coffee is better too.of course
if you have not lived in Greater Philadelphia or in NJ, WaWa is something else. Go to work ... and stop to get gas. And their Breakfast sandwiches were awesome. Simply a cut above Cumberland Farms or Stewarts or whatever
Maybe because they're too similar in nature.There was an idea for a casino there 20 years or so ago, but the Insurance companies opposed it. Didn’t like the optics of insurance and gambling. Now they are just branch offices with much less influence.
And interior. The inside of the building feels lifeless and coldIf they tear down the ugly concrete exterior and rebuild, fine.
Wawa meatball parms are incredible for a quick meal. Using the kiosks to order is so quick and easy also. I’m a big fan.First introduced to Wawa in Jersey, have them here in Delaware - nothing in CT to compare. My nephew loves the place for subs when he's down here from NY. Coffee is better too.

When I lived in Stamford, I would go to Bobby V’s OTB once every few months to spend an afternoon drinking beer, watching sports and placing some horse bets. Even though I could bet through an app from home.I agree with an earlier post, why would I go to XL to place a bet when I can do so from my phone or tablet? Unless you make it a mecca of dining, clubs, something that gives you a reason to be there...this idea seems to be 20 years behind day-to-day reality.
interestingly, wawa actually used to have a pretty big presence in ct. there was one on the corner of york and elm st in downtown new haven. they sold all of their ct stores in the 90's to krauszer's, which is kind of a tragedy considering how terrible krauszer's is.First introduced to Wawa in Jersey, have them here in Delaware - nothing in CT to compare.

Wawa is great. I wish they had them in CT. I would prefer a Wawa sub over places like Subway or Jersey Mike’s any day.First introduced to Wawa in Jersey, have them here in Delaware - nothing in CT to compare. My nephew loves the place for subs when he's down here from NY. Coffee is better too.

There was a Wawa in Hamden just behind SCSU, aka Second Chance State University (College back then), don't know what happened to it. Wawa is my go-to in the summer at the Snookie Shore.Wawa is great.

Wawa and Jersey Mike's best of the bunch, but for me Wawa is 5 minutes away, Jersey Mike's 25.Wawa over Subway? Absolutely.
Wawa over Jimmy John's? yes.
Wawa over Firehouse? Yes.
Wawa over Jersey Mike's? Nah. Mike's is a cut above Wawa.
And please no one bring Sheetz in to this.

I’m bummed that Massachusetts keeps dragging its feet on Sports betting. I live about 10 minutes from the Plainville Casino. It is expected that Penn National would put in a nice Sportsbook as soon as authorized.MGM in Springfield has a lounge area with a bar, comfy stadium seats, and a huge wall with TV's for every game. Was there last Sunday playing poker and took a break to relax and watch football there for a bit. You can't bet there (yet), but I like the concept.
My father and I already have plans to go to Foxwoods during the first few weekends of March Madness to bet some games, have some beers, and grab lunch. I don't see XL doing it as well though, and it will likely flop. They would have to incorporate some decent food/drink/entertainment options in addition to the sportsbook. A poker room would make it a home run. Would be a great place to hide from the wife.
But I like the pretzel rolls at Sheetz. Wawa is 10x better though.Wawa over Subway? Absolutely.
