This place looks like it is going to be awesome. Gonna be pretty cool to be at the last Pace at the old building, and the first at the new building. I think by the time the Pace runs in the new building, Gural will have at least slots and maybe a casino

My former partner was going through a very difficult time last summer (pending divorce, death of his father, financial issues) and unfortunately went to Atlantic City and requested a room on a higher floor.

Suicide is a cowardly way out and leaves your friends and family very hurt.

JJ, you are so right about that.  Anyone who has expierienced the suicide of a anyone close to them can so attest.  But, I doubt many , if any, are in their right mind at the time.

I don't personally take offense to what you wrote. The Atlantic City detective investigating his death told me "he had horse racing licenses, he had to have money right, owning horses isn't cheap, and he had $48,000 in his checking account, normally when someone does something like that they are broke."

He was going through a very, very tough time but I didn't think he would jump. He threatened to do it off the George Washington Bridge and we did hospitalize him but other than bill his HMO I personally don't know what they did for him.

We visited him in the hospital every few days, my wife and son also went with me, nobody had belts or shoelaces, but nobody could save him.
