In a press conference held outside the town's one remaining outhouse, The Mayor confirmed that a temporal fissure has opened, reverting the entire city back to the year 1887.
"At first we thought it was just the heat," he said, wiping his brow with a linen handkerchief. "But when folks started showing up wearing spurs and gambling with actual gold nuggets, we knew something was afoot."
Residents are advised to remain calm, tip their hats and refrain from dueling before noon. The Shark, long thought to operate in modern times, may now be meddling with the very fabric of history. Detective Watts has launched a full investigation, which so far includes a half-eaten sandwich and a map of 1980s Atlantic City.
In unrelated news, The Mayor also said that going forward, all disputes must now be settled via poker, horseshoes or dramatically slamming your hat on the table.
