[Kurt Cobain]

Born in Rahway.

Grew up in Woodbridge, NJ until I was 9.

I have lived in Hazlet, NJ since. I guess that's considered central Jersey, but to some people they consider that the Jersey shore. All I know is that once memorial day comes the traffic doubles in my area cause all of you damn BENNYS going to Sandy Hook lol.

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Not sure if I'm considered central Jersey or Jersey Shore? Hmmmm?

woah woah woah. I am not a BENNY! It's all the trash from New York that destroy's the shore area and causes all the problems.

My grandmother lived in manasquan before she died. I would spend summers there. They always told me I technically wasn't a Benny because my family owned property there.

Some of the locals still called me a Benny but it was in good fun.

Sorry maybe there are some support groups you can look into to help you get through this devastating realization..

It's both. The Jersey Shore consist of Central and South Jersey. So you live in the Central Jersey part of the Jersey Shore.

I don't technically live in Manasquan, but my mailing address is Manasquan. It's always been my favorite and go-to beach spot.

 

[New Jersey]

Grew up in Bergen County (Waldwick), now spending my summers in Passaic County (Hawthorne).

During the school year, I'm in Hoboken.

So, yeah, North Jersey all the way.

That Benny stuff is stupid. First off the shore is barren and desolate after Labor Day, so who in their right mind would want to live their outside of the summer months anyway.

Just because you live near it doesn't mean you own it. A Bergen/Passaic county resident has every right to descend on the shore and buy/rent property there.

I don't get this possessiveness. Maybe we should prevent Manasquan and Belmar residents from shopping in our malls and buying property in our suburbs? You never see that...

 

[goawaygary*]

I've heard that Staten Island has a lot of Devils fans actually, and it does make sense.. Certainly a heck of a lot cheaper and easier to get to our games! My buddy teaches on Staten Island and said about 1/3rd of the high school is Devils fans.. Says the Devils fans there are all typically younger (as is the case in Jersey) but definitely a large following and more passionate in general..

I've always wondered how NY-based Devils fans feel about all of the New Jersey marketing.. I mean, folks from NJ have no problem supporting NY teams so it shouldn't be a big deal but still

That's true. Staten Island and Rockland county are the two parts of NY that has NJ Devils representation. I have seen Devils flags and bumper stickers in SI. I was at a bar in SI for game 4 of the 2012 ECF and it was like 40% Devils, 60% Rags, which is solid representation on our part

Yeah, it's foolish and shortsighted.

But the yahoos (mostly from NYC's boros) who go to the Shore and disrespect everyone and everything have created that reputation.
Not talking about the families but pointing a finger at the packs of guidos/meatheads that empty their car ashtrays in the streets and can't have a fun night out without a brawl.

Yeah, it's pretty much the trash that comes from NY that gives North Jersey a bad name at the shore. The trash from NY also pollutes North Jersey highways and makes it a complete ***** on Saturdays to get around. All I see on rt4 and rt17 on Saturdays is NY plates. So annoying.

true. Most of them are from NY.

I like Manasquan beach, but in recent years I've spent more and more time up in places like Martha's Vineyard (heh, maybe they see me as a sort of Benny creeping up there) but the whole Djais/Bar A crowd is just insufferable. And it's astounding how many receding hairline orange 37 year olds in their souped up Mazda's there are. And these are NOT NJ folks. Drunkenly slobbering over 21 year old girls in these seedy ratholes

I don't know how it was in the 80's but as recently as the late 90's it wasn't this bad. I guess a certain TV show changed all that
