ATLANTIC CITY - Myron Lively strolled past the shuttered Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino reliving a bit of his past.
In the early days of the city s casino industry, Lively was a waiter and his fiancée was a blackjack dealer at the Plaza.
Today, she s a city school teacher and he is barber at a shop just a short jaunt down the Boardwalk from the former Trump Plaza, which closed in 2014.
On Feb. 17, the tallest Plaza tower will become a memory, too. The planned implosion of the once-iconic tower at the center of the Boardwalk will mark the end of the Trump era in this shore town.

One of my favorite stories of the past month or so has been the auction to push the button to blow up Trump Plaza.
We know that it won’t happen. But would you believe the idea actually originated with a Republican former elected official, who then passed it onto a state senator who passed it on to another Republican state senator who passed it on to Mayor Marty Small?
