Hi I'm from NJ

[yazee1]

Philly girl but now I live in Sicklerville...right over the bridge from Philly.

!

I'm a Philly girl, too. We lived in Franklinville for two years but just moved to Maryland a couple years ago.

 

[TaraZ]

From Morris County, NJ here!

 

[Nicoleclaw]

I live in Manchester, and grew up in Jackson. I teach there now.

 

[KingdomHearts]

Hi all I am down on LBI, I would travel to Freehold.. if that helps and they have a lot of awesome places there to meet up!

 

[eliza61]

Another sicklerville NJ resident here. Dh is from west Philly

 

[wdwscout]

I'd consider meeting at Mastoris or Ponzio's.
Not Olga's though- the place just isn't what it used to be. (and that's the closest one to me)

Any more from NJ, Giants when all the way.

 

[hrsmom]

I'll always be a Jersey girl! We live in SC now, but I grew up and lived in NJ until 3 years ago (darn DH's job!).

Grew up in Morris County! Lived in Independence (Warren County) as an adult. We own at SSR and just got back from a trip to VWL.

 

[JCLNJ]

We are from from Neshanic Station. My DH and I are both graduates of Somerville HS. We are DVC owners at OKW & BCV

Thought this would fit in well here, LOL



You know you're from Jersey when . . ..

You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called Great Adventure, not Six Flags.
A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned
or drunk, at 3 A.M.
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know the town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey- there's the shore--and you don't go "to the shore," you go "down the shore." And when you are there, you're not "at the shore"; you are "down the shore."
You know how to properly negotiate a circle.
You knew that the last sentence had to do with driving.
You know that this is the only "New" state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (try . . . Mexico . York Hampshire-- doesn't work, does it?).
You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH
a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.

You know that people from the 609 area code are
"a little different." Yes they are!
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to
Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
Every year you have at least one kid in your class named Tony.
You know the location of every clip shown in the
Sopranos opening credits.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get
out of the mall.

You weren't raised in New Jersey -- you were raised in either North Jersey, Central Jersey or South Jersey. You don't consider Newark or Camden to actually be part of the state.
You remember the stores Korvette's, Two Guys, Rickel's, Channel, Bamberger's and Orbach's.
You also remember Palisades Amusement Park.

I think that this should be amended to "You know you are from North Jersey"

I am from the 609 area code and a lot of these don't apply. For example, no one from my area says "shore" in any of the variations above. It is the beach. People that say shore are quickly identified as shoobies. I don't live within 20 minutes of any mall, let alone three! Of course, being from the 609 area code, I'm a little different!

Hey Central Folks....the other day I meet someone for lunch at Skylark on Route 1 in Edison...will that work for a "middle" NJ meet?

NNJ.....Joe's at Short Hills still seems like the place. Should we pick a date?

For me Edison is still too far north...it would be all the way up the parkway and onto 287. The furthest for me would be Monmouth County - like the Freehold Mall area.
