You know you are from Northwest/Central West Jersey when...
 

Got to talking with a buddy of mine about how typical Jersey stereotypes don't apply to Northwest and Central West Jersey. So we started coming up with some west jersey stuff.


You know you are from NW Jersey when:

... you know who Hot Dog Johnny is and you own a T-Shirt
... you know where Flemington Speedway used to be
... somebody tries the "What exit are you from" joke with you and you reply back "what the **** is the parkway"?
... you laugh when people complain about trucks on the highway because you were trained on Rt 78.
... you can smell a deer on the side of the highway at 500 yards
... you know that river people are "a little different"
... you know where the first Friday the 13th was filmed

So what else you guys have?

if you prefer tomato pie to pizza :nod:

taylor ham egg and chesse is called a pork roll in southern nj

its pork roll. and it started in trenton. case's pork roll factory is the first

NE jersey and I've been to hot dog johnny's (no shirt) and used to go to/work at the answer to the last question... what does that make me? lol

everything except friday the 13th and im about as central west jersey you can get

Recorded in Blairstown.

For bonus points where did the cast stay when they were filming?

You know you're from NW NJ when you have a southern drawl for an accent. :)

How about for the Essex County folk:

- You've eaten at Holstens, Rutt's Hut, The Hearth, The Hot Grill or Jimmy Buff's
- You have been to several locations where "The Sopranos" was filmed
- You know that Tony's in the Park is better than J.J.'s, but you'd gladly eat either

Now for us Sussex County folk:

- Upon hearing where you live, someone almost always makes a joke about sheep humping
- You know exactly where The Chatterbox is
- You get stuck in "Fair Traffic" every August
- You can direct people on how to get to your home in relation to Wild West City or Space Farms
- You know that Tractor Supply Co carries so much more than tractor supplies
- You are not surprised to see black bears wandering your property

I have a Hot Dog Johnny's mug at work now I wanna pick up a shirt.

... you know where the first Friday the 13th was filmed

Been there, done that. Stayed at the cabin on the lake too :lol:

Bergen's in on those too.

x2

JJs FTW

You know you are from the shore when you read threads like this and laugh because shore is better and we don't need no ****in list.

:nod:

Yea, any further west in NJ and you'd be one of those "river people"

no you just whine, bitch, and moan until you get your own section

knipps for the win

Let's be fair...they got their section because no one else wanted them.

ryan, i stayed in that cabin way before you haha. '91/'92 i think

crystal lake, aka sand pond

haha, I never said I was the first... Can you believe they put propane/nat. gas heat in all those cabins now?

i believe it, lol, i havent been there in forever, i think the last time was '98.

i sorta compare to what im doing now as similar to being there, but with guns.
