How workers at this iconic Atlantic City pizza shop saved a Maryland family’s vacation
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS) — Workers at an iconic Atlantic City pizza shop found an envelope with quite a bit of money. Inside and what they did next made one family’s trip to the shore resort unforgettable.
If you found a large amount of cash, would you pocket it or turn it in? The staff at Tony’s Baltimore’s in Atlantic City did the right thing and the manager said he is proud of their honesty.
A staple since 1972, Tony’s Baltimore Grill is known as the oldest pizza joint in Atlantic City.
The red and white exterior sits along Atlantic Avenue near the Tropicana. Inside — is just as classic.
Manager Joey Palumbo said it’s the people who work there that make the place special and their recent act of kindness speaks volumes.
It all started when a family vacationing from Maryland left behind an envelope with about $2,000 dollars in it.
“They were at the booth by the door so anyone could have come in and saw it, just grabbed it and walked out,” Palumbo said.
Malik and Pam, who work at the restaurant, found the stash and turned it in – not knowing who it belonged to.
“And just the integrity of our staff just shows you that they care about their people and they care about their customers,” Palumbo said.
The next day the family retraced their steps and made one last effort to ask the staff at Tony’s Baltimore Grill if anyone turned in an envelope filled with cash.
“Once she identified the credit union from Maryland I knew it was hers. If she said it was TD Bank or PNC I knew it wasn’t theirs,” Palumbo said.
Palumbo said the family was very grateful and their son couldn’t contain his excitement.
“And he came running in jumped in our arms and said, ‘You saved our vacation,’ so I get choked up because I can still see him doing that,” Palumbo said.
While it’s all about the little things, Palumbo said he is proud of his staff’s actions when no one is looking. The restaurant said the magic of the place isn’t about the pizza – it’s about the people.
“We have some certain core values that we really preach to our staff. Love AC, treat people nicely, say nice things about people and it will come back,” Palumbo said.
The workers were awarded for their honesty. They were able to choose a week’s paid vacation or $1,000 dollars.

Fleet Week sheds light on Maryland’s naval history through STEM during weekend’s festivities
BALTIMORE — Maryland Fleet Week and Flyover Baltimore is all about honoring our state’s rich naval history.
“It is important to the Navy and the Marine Corps to be here so our Sailors and Marines can be out and about and the American people can get to meet them and see what we do,” said Rear Admiral Nancy Lacore, the commandant at Naval District Washington.
There’s also a lot to learn in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
“When you look at our ships like the USS Constellation built in 1854, it’s the last sale only ship built by the Navy,” explained Steve Bountress, the executive of Historic Ships in Baltimore.” And then right around the corner, here we’ve got the USS Marionette which is one of the most recent Navy ships built— see the differences in the technology of these two ships”.
This is where the scientists and engineers at Naval Surface Warfare Center’s Dahlgren Division come in.
“We are a team of mission driven and product focused scientists and engineers that are dedicated to delivering with technical excellence. And today we are here to share the passion of STEM,” said Brad, a scientist at NSWC Dahlgren.
They teamed up with Historic Ships in Baltimore to inspire kids to explore different STEM fields.
“The rockets, the propulsion of the canister, the code, all the testing is done at house Dahlgren So, it’s like our own little project,” said Taylor Ann with NSWC Dahlgren.
Inside their tent on Saturday and Sunday during Fleet Week, they plan to demonstrate experiments and activities for kids and their families– with the hope to inspire the next generation.
“We are just scientists and engineers getting to interact with the community and be able to share our passion for science and engineering,” said Brad.
You can find the STEM and history education tent on Pier 1 next to the USS Constellation during Fleet Week.
