There it goes, Miss America Way.
Atlantic City has decided to change the name of Miss America Way to Convention Boulevard to help market the gaming resort as a convention destination.
The street runs between the Convention Center and The Sheraton Atlantic City.
The Miss America Pageant left its birthplace long ago for Las Vegas. The pageant's headquarters moved to nearby Linwood.
The Miss America Rose Walk remains on Michigan Avenue. And a bronze statue of longtime pageant host Bert Parks still stands in front of the Sheraton.
