‘The Bachelorette’ Highlights Atlantic City

Yep, this happened!  Part of last night's Atlantic City episode featured a Mr. America Pageant!

Last night's episode of 'The Bachelorette' was set in Atlantic City.  Our fine city looked great, even though the episode was filmed shortly after Sandy hit.

Desiree and her suitors went to a lot of the city's landmarks, including Revel, the Absecon Lighthouse and Tony's Baltimore Grill.

James, one of the bachelors, and Desiree went on a one-on-one date in a helicopter to tour the Jersey shore.  They went from Atlantic City to Seaside Heights, even meeting a sweet older couple that were displaced by Sandy.  It was a special moment in the show, one where (of course....) I found myself welling up with tears.  Not only because the couple was just so cute, but because the images from a torn up Jersey shore are still hard to see.

It was great to see our city highlighted in such a special way.  If you didn't get a chance to watch the full show last bight, you can click HERE to watch it online.
