If you're not from New Jersey the following post might not make any sense, just an FYI. I'm in the elevator yesterday leaving work (19th floor). The elevator stops at like 15th floor and when the doors open two women are talking, one in about her late 20's and two in about her 40's.
#1: so where did you grow up then?
#2: oh well, I grew up in central Jersey
#1: oh where?
#2: Middlesex county
#1: OK, like Manalapan, Marlborough?
#2: No, that's the shore...
#1: ohh?
#2: yea, Middlesex like Scotch Plains near the Watchung hills.
OK, so I understand that Manalapan & Marlborough are both in Monmouth county but to call it the SHORE is a little absurd. I live in Middlesex (technically) but I'm really only two towns over from them. But Scotch Plains is NOT Middlesex county, that's more like Union and probably not near the Watchung Hills which is probably Somerset county... Good thing you live on the Upper East Side now, or did you really mean the Lower East Side?

OK SORRY, MY B. GOOGLE MAPS!
Yikes. I totally relate to this one... no one in NYC seems to know anything about Jersey except for anything in North Jersey. Someone I work with is vaguely aware of LBI, so I tell them I live there. meanwhile, bricktown is abouuut.... 40 miles away from that hah.
