Mediated spaces, anyone?
At the Tropicana Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, between a pair of too-pricey-for-my-wallet restaurants called Red Square and Cuba Libre, there is .........
a statue of Lenin. A very large statue of Lenin.
Just ten feet away was the casino's Halloween "psychic," offering $20 readings at a table set up in front of the spa, across from a store that sold spy accoutrements and fake body armor.
