Your Memories of The Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City?

Here she comes (again)...Miss America! The news will be made official on Thursday,  the... Pageant will be returning to its one and only true home, Atlantic City!

The topic of  the Miss America Pageant in its glory days in Atlantic City is a deeply personal and heartfelt one to many who grew up in South Jersey.

We went to the parades on the Boardwalk, we remember encounters with the contestants, and if we're old enough, we can tell you a good Bert Parks story.  I have spoken with many people over the years who worked on the Pageant in some capacity.

Please share your memories of Miss America in Atlantic City in the comments section below and let us know how you feel that the Pageant is returning.
