Elaine Cosgrove

Elaine Cosgrove is a long-form journalist who lives in Atlantic City year-round and has written about the city, its architecture, its economic-development history, and its relationship to the broader South Jersey region for the better part of two decades. Her work here is essayistic rather than promotional. The aim is to write about Atlantic City the way a serious magazine would — with attention to what the place actually is rather than what the marketing copy says it is, with sources who live and work in the city rather than visit it for the weekend, and with the patience that the city's several layered histories actually require. The casino industry appears in her work principally as regulatory, economic-development, and historical subject matter. Recommendations for where to gamble do not appear at all.
