The front door of Russo’s Liquor Store in Atlantic City was broken when people stormed in. ‘We’ve been in this neighborhood for over 45 years, serving the community. To have somebody to do this to us is disappointing,’ says owner Marilyn Russo. (Her son John, who took these photos, is a writer and copy editor for The Press of Atlantic City.)
