I still remember that Lady in Atlantic City, That refused to sell to
the Casino :A brief version of
Vera Coking's story reads this way -- she bought a house on South Columbia Place in Atlantic City back in the 1960s. A decade or so later, Bob Guccione was building the Penthouse Boardwalk Hotel and Casino and he offered her $1 million for her property, which she refused .
Personally I Gotta Respect that. When I lived in Joliett.
and My house was still Holding Up

I wouldn't have sold.
On second Thought, in the Atlantic City Case, She Should have Insisted on a Free Penthouse Overlooking the Ocean, Along with Free Food & Cleaning Services for the remainder of her Life.
Then again she may have had to Have Eyes Sewn into her back

to avoid a knife being planted there
