Ask a guy from New Jersey anything...

I hear you.
Wildwood...I spent a week or two of every summer there from age 1 through my 20's.. that place is awesome.

2 weeks in Lavallette every summer (end of July, beginning of August) until I was about 15... then the folks bought a lagoon property in Beach Haven West (mainland side of the bay @ LBI) for their 25ft Sea Ray and we started driving down almost every Friday night and heading home Sunday/Monday all summer... even did some winter holidays there. By age 24 they let the shore house go and I moved to Ocean County full time.
 
Nice. I'm exit 3.

Here is a photo for folks who don't understand pork roll.

Those just look like pacman hams.

That ok, I don't recall any mountains in the USA east of the Rockies.

Appalachians?
 
Bridgewater's alright. I like the mall there. My wife's from Hillsborough not too far from you, she says the same thing about Hillsborough as you say about Bridgewater. Trust me, Hillsborough's worse.

ha, I've lived by that mall since I was 2 (was born in West Paterson). Its still pretty nice, tho I miss a few things that used to be there.

Yea, I hear you. Hillsborough's got a lot of money and nowhere to really sink it in (whereas we toss ours into the municipalities/mall). Bridgewater's nice for the mom/pop aspect of the community, but the kids often move on to other areas.
 
-sweatpants only = "I have officially surrendered in life"
-sweat suit = " look at me, look at me, I'm jogging!!" (this can be a good thing)
-sweatpants with leather coat in winter = recent eastern-European or central American immigrant
-shiny stylish sweatsuit = "I like to think that I look good AND active" (while often not looking either)
shiny stylish sweatsuit with top unzipped showing gold chains/chest hair = "yo' Vinnie, yo gonna be sleepin' wit' da fishes.." These are the type that you speak nicely to.

Of course, there are exceptions to all of the above...

:D
