That’s twenty amazing and amazingly old things, all from one random Atlantic City junk shop. When you’re through here, go check out his ten favorite finds. There was an entire second room that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since three presidents ago, and the more we dug, the more we found.īy the time we were through, there was no doubt in my mind: Sometimes an item would be right out in the open. The whole store was filled with things like that.

They were bookended by rubber gloves and makeup sponges, but they were, unquestionably, Ghostbusters II keychains from 1989.

Everywhere we turned, there was a new reason to scream. This place was COVERED with amazing shit. Our eyes were open and we were ready to see the truth. Moments later, I found a Kevin Nash air freshener from 1998.įrom that point on, it was complete joyous lunacy. Fifteen minutes must have passed when Jay casually announced that they were selling Dennis the Menace pinball games from 1986. We were finding good things, but nothing terribly outrageous. The stuff that was inside this store… was the same stuff that was inside this store twenty fucking years ago.Īt first, none of us realized that we were surrounded by treasure. It hadn’t changed at all, and I cannot mean that more literally. It was the same 99 cent store that I used to go to as a newly minted teenager, back when my parents practically lived at the Trump Taj Mahal. Or, more accurately… THE BEST 99 CENT STORE EVER. This time, though, we landed at the crap shop to end all crap shops. I’ve been providing proof of this for more than a dozen years. The Atlantic City boardwalk is full of incredible crap shops. Curing our hangovers with cherry Powerade, we attacked the boardwalk with just one thing in mind: The trip was a private misadventure amongst friends - not something I planned to write about.

And walking past some guy that I swore was Johnny Torrio from Boardwalk Empire, even if, in my heart, I knew he wasn’t. All I really remember is punching balloons and getting my ass handed to me at three card poker. We spent New Year’s Eve in Atlantic City, with The Sexy Armpit’s Jay and his girlfriend Corinne.
