fuck yes! and six brothers! you know you're fucked up at 4 in the morning if you end up at any of these places in clifton:

McDonalds
White Castle
Tick Tock
Six Brothers
Egg Platter (or Egg Splatter)

any of these places on weekends are packed with awesome drunkards into the early morning hours

I drove up to NY last summer and took the wrong exit that lead me into Camden... fucking SCARY. Those were the days before I had GPS in my car. I couldn't get back on to the interstate fast enough

lol I love RIGHT near there as a matter of fact I used to work in clifton.

I think like 3 of New Jersey's counties are in the top 10 richest counties in the country. NJ has some of the safest towns, and the most unsafe.

The shore, north jerz is very close to the city, anything you want to buy is usually very close, lots of bars, diners, etc.

It's like a dirtier version of california, but with no hollywood.

LOL and i ALWAYS go to six brothers as a matter of fact I know one of the waiters there, Rodrigo.

ahah perhaps we should organize an NJTA diner trip....

Nobody messes with you if you don't mess with them, and if you don't look like a victim.

Shit, I walked 15 blocks through Newark every other night to get to the path station, and no one ever gave me an ounce of grief.

Don't get me wrong, it looks like the projects. =P

You're from Jersey?

i took classes at rutgers in newark while an undergrad. i used to park my car on boyden right next to the PJs. one day while walking back to my car someone was shot, in the middle of the day, a few cars from mine. I was also threatended (nothing serious, just crack heads) a few times while walking to my car late at night.

As bad as the cities in NJ may be, nothing compares to Detroit.

Yup, I lived all over Jersey while I was there; Toms River, Freehold, Islen, Newark for college for 3 years (NJIT).

The guy across the hallway from me in Newark murdered his wife, and she was dead for two weeks before anyone found out; I wondered why the hallway smelled like old Chinese food.

I also hear Newark has an exceptional mayor now.

no shit...I live in Bayonne, lived in Barnegat for some time, and also lived in Toms River for a little (my mom and grandparents still live there).

Cory Booker is a pretty bright guy. unfortunately for him his constituency isn't much to work with.

haha nahhh because even in the "safe" areas, you got angry, drunk guido's who puck fights with anybody and everybody. They are worse than the gangsta's imo, because they will fight you for nothing at all, where as gangsta's will usually shoot you if you are in a gang or steal their drug money.



jerz: you know the sad thing is, those pictures probably have houses with people living in them. Got lost in camden myself once and I was shocked to see LIGHTS on in these boarded up houses. eek.


Posted by chimera66 on Dec-06-2008 06:01:

no sales tax and areas are just as close to midtown and cheaper than living on manhattan. i'm probably going to live in nj sooner or later

camden is pretty bad. those lights were probably just lighters heating up the crack pipes.

we have a 7% sales tax on almost everything, except clothing and perhaps unprepared food. The sales tax is 3.5% in certain towns: JC, Newark, Bayonne, Elizabeth, Trenton, AC (i think), etc....

I wouldn't be surprised if he was governor of NJ or in a higher office in a few years. He's definitely a bright spot in NJ politics.

wawa's are great in general. they have a pretty good deli section (for a chain convenience store). i love the homestyle roast beef sandwiches. i wish there was a wawa in north jersey. i think keyport is as far north as they go.
