URGENT CARE CENTER our 50th issue Physician Group CELEBRATING THE VERY BEST OF THE BOARDWALK JOURNAL www.AtlantiCare.org/Urgent • 888-569-1000 PROUDLY SERVING ATLANTIC CITY SINCE 2001 CRIMINAL ~ FAMILY ~ CIVIL ~ IMMIGRATION a full service litigation firm when results matter GreetinGs From AtlAntic city I am very humbled and excited that we are presenting to you this month the 50th edition of The Boardwalk Journal, a compilation of sorts that celebrates our greatest hits and misses since our launch back in 2009. To prepare for this issue, I undertook the task of personally going through each of our previous 49 issues, all 3,136 pages, as well as our digital archives, which include stories and photographs that never made it to print. What is contained in this month’s cover spread is in essence a trip down memory lane, highlighting what I believe were the highlights of each issue. BEST LEGAL SERVICES Going back to our October 2009 issue, I am happy that we had the foresight to feature Chris Christie on our - SILVER - cover before he became our Governor. I have to give Don Hurley credit for pleading with me to do this cover, telling me to trust him that we wouldn’t regret it. I trusted Don and two years later when the now Governor Chris Christie was featured on our cover a second time in October 2011, he personally thanked me—at the Sandi Pointe Inn in Somers Point at a Republican fundraising event—for taking a chance on him. Our August 2011 cover with Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga was the first of many magazine covers for her, and later got The Boardwalk Journal significant airtime on the same cable television show watched by millions of people. Subsequent Housewives covers, featuring Kathy Wakile and her family in November 2011 and Jacqueline Laurita in April 2012, were so popular that our web server almost crashed when their loyal legions of Twitter followers came to www.boardwalkjournal.com to read the issues. JAMES J. LEONARD JR., ESQ. George Anastasia, a New York Times Best Selling Author and one of my favorite writers, was responsible for our Nicky Scarfo/Philip Leonetti inspired mob cover in November 2012 as well as last month’s cover, which pulled no punches on exactly why and how Atlantic City has found itself in its current predicament. I do believe—with some of the things that we are currently working on at The Boardwalk Journal—that, like the late great Frank Sinatra, who is featured on our September 2011 cover, once said: “The Best is Yet To Come…” Here is to our next 50 issues.
