Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino

Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino era un hotel e un casinò situato sul lungomare di Atlantic City, nel New Jersey. Progettato dall'architetto Martin Stern Jr., aperto nel 1984 ed è stato uno dei due casinò di proprietà di Trump Entertainment Resorts. Il casinò ha ospitato WrestleMania IV e V nel 1988 e nel 1989, insieme all'adiacente Boardwalk Hall. Storia La Trump Organization, una società di proprietà dello sviluppatore immobiliare Donald Trump, iniziò la costruzione del casinò nel giugno 1982. Harrah's, l'unità di gioco, si unì come partner un mese dopo. Trump avrebbe supervisionato la costruzione, mentre Harrah's avrebbe gestito la proprietà, denominata Harrah's Boardwalk, dopo l'apertura. La proprietà fu aperta come Harrah's Trump Plaza il 14 maggio 1984. Nel 1990 il Trump Plaza registrò un forte calo di ricavi a causa della concorrenza del nuovo Trump Taj Mahal, situato a poca distanza. Per evitare l’insolvenza nel 1991, il casinò accese un mutuo da 25 milioni di dollari e avviò una ristrutturazione del debito che portò a un piano di «prepackaged bankruptcy» nel 1992. Nel 1993 iniziarono lavori di ampliamento da 42 milioni di dollari, che portarono alla creazione della East Tower e a nuovi spazi di gioco. L’espansione fu anche al centro di una nota causa di espropriazione riguardante la proprietaria Vera Coking, che vinse contro il tentativo di acquisizione del suo immobile. La East Tower aprì in due fasi tra il 1995 e il 1996, seguita dall’apertura del Trump World's Fair, collegato al Plaza tramite una loggia sopra il Convention Hall. Nel 1995 il Trump Plaza fu conferito alla nuova società quotata Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts. Nel 2013 fu annunciata la vendita del complesso al Meruelo Group per 20 milioni di dollari, ma l’accordo fu bloccato dal creditore principale, Carl Icahn. Il Trump Plaza chiuse definitivamente il 16 settembre 2014. Demolizione L'edificio era previsto per la demolizione nella primavera del 2018, ad eccezione dell'East Tower e del parcheggio multipiano. Nel maggio 2018, i lavori furono rinviati a causa di dispute sui finanziamenti. Un’ulteriore scadenza fu superata nel dicembre 2018. Alla fine del 2018, Carl Icahn acquistò il titolo di proprietà del terreno e terminò il complicato contratto di locazione che ostacolava i potenziali acquirenti. L’11 giugno 2020 il sindaco Marty Small Sr. annunciò che Icahn aveva presentato i piani per l'implosione delle torri, considerate pericolose a causa della caduta di detriti. La demolizione fu programmata per il 29 gennaio 2021. Atlantic City aveva previsto un’asta per aggiudicare il diritto di attivare l’esplosione, con i proventi destinati al Boys & Girls Club locale, ma l’iniziativa fu annullata su richiesta della IEP AC Plaza LLC, società di Icahn. Il Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino fu infine imploso il 17 febbraio 2021.

Trump World's Fair

Trump World's Fair at Trump Plaza was a hotel and casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that occupied 280 feet (85.3 m) of the Atlantic City boardwalk and was 21 floors in height. It had 500 guest rooms. It opened on April 14, 1981, as the Playboy Hotel and Casino, then changed its name in 1984 to Atlantis Hotel and Casino. History Playboy: 1981–84 The hotel/casino project was initiated by Playboy Enterprises, which later took on Elsinore Corporation (owner of the Four Queens Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas) as a partner in order to obtain financing. The hotel/casino originally opened with a provisional gaming license, but the licensing process was slow due to questions about the suitability of both partners. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission finally granted a permanent gaming license to Elsinore Corporation, but not to Playboy Enterprises (due to concerns about the company's London casino operations, as well as payments made by the company to New York officials in the early 1960s in order to get a liquor license for its New York Playboy Club). Playboy agreed to sell its share of the hotel/casino to Elsinore and the property's name was changed. Boxing matches were held at the casino. Atlantis: 1984–89 The complex was split into two sections divided by Florida Avenue. The main building housed the multi-level casino, 500-room hotel tower and restaurants. The other building, accessible by a skybridge from the second floor, housed the 800-seat Cabaret and shops. The Cabaret featured acts such as Bobby Vinton, David Copperfield, Vic Damone, Lola Falana and The Captain & Tennille. The 5th Dimension was the last act to perform in the Cabaret, finishing out its engagement after gaming operations had ceased on the casino floor. In 1985, the casino filed for bankruptcy and then continued to struggle financially. In April 1989, the state rejected renewal of its gaming license, and then placed the Atlantis into conservatorship. The casino closed on May 22, 1989, though the hotel continued to operate. Donald Trump purchased the Atlantis in June 1989 for $63 million, and renamed it as the Trump Regency. Trump Regency: 1989–96 In July 1992, ownership was transferred to the property's mortgage holder, Chemical Bank. Trump bought back the Regency for $60 million in June 1995. Trump's World Fair: 1996–99 On May 15, 1996, Trump reopened the casino after investing $48 million in a renovation, and the property changed its name again to the Trump World's Fair at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. However, after only three years, the hotel and casino were closed permanently on October 3, 1999, and the building was demolished in 2000. The land was sold at auction to Bruce Toll of Toll Brothers.

Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine

The Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine (also known as Rowan-Virtua SOM or SOM) is a public medical school located in Stratford, New Jersey. Founded in 1976, Rowan-Virtua SOM is the osteopathic program within Virtua Health College of Medical and Life Sciences, which is one of two medical schools associated with Rowan University alongside the Cooper Medical School. The Rowan-Virtua SOM confers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (DO), and was ranked by the U.S. News & World Report in 2016 as one of the top medical schools for geriatric care and primary care. Rowan-Virtua SOM is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. History The school was established under the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 1976 by the New Jersey state legislature. Initial classes were held at what is now Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for its first two years until its campus was complete. The first class of 24 students began on September 7, 1977. Rowan-Virtua SOM's first affiliate was Kennedy University Hospital, which remains as a core teaching hospital. The Kennedy Health System included hospitals in Stratford (adjacent to the SOM campus), Cherry Hill, and Washington Township. Its current primary affiliate is Virtua Health, which includes its primary teaching hospitals, such as Virtua Voorhees, Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden, Lourdes Medical Center in Willingboro, Christ Hospital in Jersey City, and Inspira Medical Centers in Elmer and Vineland. The SOM Specialty Care Center opened in 1987; two years later, the adjoining Primary Care Center was purchased. The Science Center was built the following year and began functioning as the primary campus for the 4-year medical program. The campus was completed in 1993 with the addition of the new Academic Center. On June 28, 2012, the New Jersey state legislature passed the New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, which dissolved the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey on July 1, 2013. This resulted in the merger of the Stratford SOM campus with Rowan University; the remainder of its teaching schools became associated with Rutgers University. University Hospital became an independent entity. The school is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) and by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Academics The school has a close affiliation with the 600–bed Jefferson Health Stratford hospital (through their acquisition of Kennedy Health System in 2017) and Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, a 437-bed tertiary hospital in Camden, New Jersey. Notable alumni Jane Aronson (born 1951), physician, with expertise in pediatric infectious diseases and adoption medicine. References External links Official website
USS Rancocas

USS Rancocas (LS-1) is the former name of an engineering development facility at the border between Moorestown Township and Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey. In May 2008, it was formally renamed the Vice Admiral James H. Doyle, Jr. Combat System Engineering Development Site (CSEDS). It is located between Hartford Road and County Route 537 in Moorestown and resembles a warehouse with the superstructure of a planned, but never built naval strike cruiser sitting on the roof. The design of the superstructure was later incorporated into the design of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. The facility was initially constructed for the United States Air Force in 1958, to support AN/FPS-49 Ballistic Missile Early Warning System development. It briefly operated as a sensor for the SPACETRACK program but was transferred to the U.S. Navy and refurbished in 1976 to support Aegis Combat System development. It is still used by Lockheed Martin for Aegis research and development, and houses not only Navy and Lockheed Martin personnel, but personnel from numerous subcontractors, such as Mission Solutions Engineering and Northrop Grumman. The New Jersey Historic Preservation Office has declared the Vice Admiral James H. Doyle, Jr. Combat System Engineering Development Site eligible for listing in the New Jersey Register of Historic Places. Formally commissioned in 1977, it is a Navy-owned building, staffed by Navy personnel attached to Aegis Technical Representative (AEGIS TECHREP), which is an Echelon 3 field activity under Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Because the facility is plainly visible from Interstate 295 and the New Jersey Turnpike, it has become something of a landmark for local residents and travelers. Area residents frequently refer to it as the "Cornfield Cruiser" or "Cruiser in a Cornfield." An AN/SPY-1 antenna array damaged in the USS Cole bombing was later refurbished and installed in CSEDS. Naval Facilities Engineering Command completed a large extension to the original building in early 2015. In 2020, an AN/SPY-6(V)1 array was installed at the Combat System Engineering Development Site to support testing.

University Hospital (Newark, New Jersey)

University Hospital is an independent, state owned, teaching hospital in Newark, New Jersey that provides tertiary care to Northern New Jersey. The hospital is certified by the American College of Surgeons and is a state-designated Level 1 Trauma Center. Overview University Hospital is an independent, standalone medical center owned by the State of New Jersey and governed by a board headed by Sarah Adelman. It is located in the University Heights section of Newark, New Jersey. University Hospital is a principal teaching hospital for Rutgers Health and a regional resource for specialized services and critical care. It is the largest provider of uncompensated care in New Jersey. University hospital was ranked among the best hospitals in Northern New Jersey, published by U.S. News Report, a Gold Plus Performance Achievement in Heart Failure/Stroke from the American Heart Association and is fully accredited by the Joint Commission. History The hospital was founded as Newark City Hospital, which first opened on September 4, 1882 with 25 beds. The College of the Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey assumed operation of the hospital from the City in 1968 following the civil unrest of 1967 and renamed the entire complex Martland Hospital as part of an agreement with the City of Newark. The College of Medicine and Dentistry entered into what is known as the "Newark Agreement" which agreed to continue to provide healthcare and employment opportunities to Newark residents which is in perpetuity. The expansion of the College prompted the construction of a new hospital; and College Hospital opened in May 1979. The name was changed to University Hospital in 1981 to recognize the awarding of university status to the college by the state legislature. In November 2012, the New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act provided for most schools and units of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey to be transferred to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. With this legislation, in July 2013 University Hospital became an independent, standalone medical center owned by the state based upon the Newark Agreement of 1968. In popular culture, the documentary film Don Quixote of Newark profiled the work done by James Oleske, Mary Boland and others in this urban hospital to learn more about and show compassion to children who were affected with AIDS and HIV. Controversy and scandals The University of Medicine and Dentistry was involved in a series of adverse circumstances related to over-billing Medicaid from 2001 to 2004. A number of systemic reforms were initiated. Legislation of 2012 separated University Hospital from UMDNJ, and the transition was successfully completed in July 2013.

Upper Hack Lift

Upper Hack Lift is a lift bridge carrying the New Jersey Transit Main Line across the Hackensack River at mile 6.9 between Secaucus, New Jersey and Lyndhurst. History It was built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in 1958 and completed in March 1959 to serve the Boonton Branch and replaced an older swing span from 1901 on the site, which had been damaged by shifting currents. The new single-track lift bridge cost $5.5 million, financed through a five-year bank loan. Following a 1963 route realignment, Erie Main Line service began using the bridge, with Erie Lackawanna, NJDOT and later NJ Transit Main Line commuter service continuing to use the route. It was repainted in 1994 to its current turquoise blue color. Upper Hack is the only single-track lift bridge in New Jersey (excluding the Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge connecting to Staten Island). It is visible to motorists on the New Jersey Turnpike's western spur between Interchanges 15W and 16W. Remnants of the older swing span are visible just to the north of the current lift span, as concrete abutments and piers remain. The current drawbridge schedule at Upper Hack (as stated by U.S. Coast Guard, 33 CFR 117.723) allows the bridge to open on signal unless the bridge tender is at the nearby HX Draw on the Bergen County Line upstream.
