really productive field service today! my dad placed the greatest man book with a very spiritually minded young guy. and i had a nice convo with a stay-at-home mom who asked ME for my phone numbe...
Fresty, you're totally having the best experiences down there! You should be in the next Yearbook--South Jersey!
haha... that would be hysterical. Experiences from the 2007 Yearbook - South Africa, Lithunia, and South Jersey (not the beach part, but the hick part)
i've heard of our area being called south jersey much, much more than central jersey. i guess it's splitting hairs.
Here's how I see it. Middlesex and above is North. Ocean and Monmouth are Central. Burlington and below is South.
That's the way I split it up...big bridge!
Wikipedia states otherwise! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Jersey
Notice the key points where it states --> "...This leads many North Jersey residents to claim that Central Jersey simply does not exist."
As well as notice Ocean County is considered part of the Central Jersey region, while Burlington County is not.
It's like a combo of geography as well as culture and urbanisation that make an area of Jersey, Central or South.
"Ocean County is a county located in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It the southernmost county in the New York metropolitan area, with the Southern part of the county falling in the Philadelphia metro area. Its county seat is Toms River6. As of the United States 2000 Census, the population was 510,916. 2005 Census Bureau estimates show the county's population growing to around 555,000, making it the fastest growing county in New Jersey.
Ocean County was established in 1850 from portions of Monmouth County."
Aren't Newark and Jersey City considered central jersey? That's what I always thought. Anything like 100 miles above them is North and 100 miles below is south (at least in the map in my head).
if you head 100 miles north of Newark, you're about 70 miles into New York state...
God, is it hate-on webby day? Fine, I have no sense of time or distance and apparently I don't desire to learn new things about the bible. I'm heading up to my roof to jump off now.
wait a sec, don't take that as an attack! newark is definitely north jersey, imo. it's way up there is all i'm saying.
unless you consider like only sussex county to be north jersey.
Well I guess the people way way up North might see those cities as Central. Technically, I don't think it's a fair division. Btw, I'll hopefully be in PA in early 2007 funnily enough.
Thank you! At least Im not the only one who splits it up that way!!
