The NJ 101.5 discussion

[Freitag]

This is a discussion that I would expect from Dennis and Judi, not R&F.

There is North, Central, and South Jersey.

North is 201 and 973 area codes.

Central is 908 and 732.

South is 609 and 856.

The dividing line is 295.

End of story.

Is it really that slow of a news day?

It's in Wikipedia, so it must be true.

i think 908 could still be north since Kennilworth and cranford are 908, and they are def north jersey

[Freitag]

Nope, just need a minor issue to set Dave off.

I think my biggest issue was Lilly trying to be a Ron-like agitator in the discussion. Anyone who lives in Jersey for a set amount of time knows and understands that there's a North, Central, and South Jersey. If Pitzy was in the discussion, THEN, I can understand. Union really is on the border of North and Central Jersey.

When she said 732 is South Jersey, I immediately rolled my eyes.

[ChrisTheCop]

Does nj geography really deserve it's own thread?

blech.

[Freitag]

Yeah, 908 is debatable, but a good portion of 908 is central. Lilly said that 732 is South Jersey - which is complete insanity.

(And 908 was used for all of Central Jersey after the 201/908 split in the early 90's. 732 spun off from 908 a few years later)

Who the fuck cares? Besides, everyone knows that aside from Atlantic city and the actual sand parts of the beach, everything south of Old Bridge is just dogshit anyway.

And somehow, we also need to figure out how to get like Warren and that shit out there out of the state. Thats basically just east Penn

*cough* 195 *cough*
Not 295...295 drives straight down the South jersey side from Exit 8a near the turnpike.

195 cut right across from Exit 98 (Pt. Pleasent/Spring Lake) on the parkway all the way to Exit 7a (Great Adventure/Six Flags) on the turnpike and beyond to Trenton.

So would you say Route 78 cuts North NJ from Central?
If so that would make Kenilworth and Union Central NJ. (Which I think it is)

I would not say area codes as much as maybe Counties and towns.

Because you could have one area code in a county that might spill from Central to South NJ.

And CTC...yes this is needed. Might as well get the debate out of the way.

You missed a few that they split off in North and Central Jersey:

http://www.whitepages.com/static/common/maps/NJ.gif

Of course, they're pretty recent splits, but they're splits nonetheless.

p.s. - those dividing lines look less to me like 195 or 295 than they do rivers.

[JerseyRich]

908 area code has parts that border NYC...

So I say that's North Jersey.

[Kris10]

I live in Ocean County and my cell phone was given a 908 area code.. wtf?!?!? I don't get it! But I've tried to explain to idiots for yrs I live in Central NJ and if your not from NJ people don't get it!

[Kris10]

I'm dogshit to you? :glurps:

[scottinnj]

When she said 732 is South Jersey, I immediately rolled my eyes.

I had to change the channel. I'm 609 (atlantic city) and it's no less then an hour to get to a 732 area code town. We say that's north way down here.

[scottinnj]

Hwy 70 to south of 195 is Central Jersey.

North of 195 is North Jersey

South of Hwy 70 is South Jersey.

[Gvac]

201, bitches.

Anything else is loserville.

[JDE]

I missed parts of the show today, did Lilly really say 732 is south jersey?



If so, I guess we know someone who loves to wear hats and is a better photographer than Earl, is not exactly an expert on Jersey.

[STC-Dub]

Nevermind

[Heather 8]

When she said 732 is South Jersey, I immediately rolled my eyes.

8 says this proves Lilly doesn't know shit about Jersey.

[Hottub]

Nevermind

Better answer.

[The Jays]

Anything below Toms River is South Jersey. I'm not about to call Keansburg and fucking Point Pleasant South Jersey.

[Hottub]

I use this as my marker.

[Kris10]

Anything below Toms River is South Jersey.

I'm in Toms River... I consider it Central

[Hottub]

I'm in Toms River... I consider it Central

It's 5 minutes from Seaside.
South.

[scottinnj]

Mets fans live in North Jersey.
Phillies fans live in South Jersey.

It's against the law for anyone in NJ to be a Yankees fan, or root for any American League team for that matter. Consider that your warning.

[Kris10]

It's 5 minutes from Seaside.
South.

Waretown is South... please don't throw me in that category!

[scottinnj]

I'm in Toms River... I consider it Central

It's 5 minutes from Seaside.
South.

Then how come I have to go North to get there?

[Hottub]

I spent many of my childhood summers in Shelter Cove, which is part of Tom's River.( off of Porter if I remember correctly)

South.

Miss Perkins.

[tele7]

If theres a Wawa within a mile of you, it's south.

[Hottub]

There's a WAWA in New Milford.

Sooory. Sooory.

[starvingkids]

if it's new jerseys own radio station then why do i hear it in philly. :wallbash:

[Judge Smails]

Here's my rule of thumb: If you get New York stations on tv and radio then you're in North Jersey. If you get Philadelphia stations then it's South Jersey. If you can pick up both New York and Philadelphia stations pretty clearly (like me) then you're in Central Jersey.

Works for me, though I do prefer the NY stations.

[scottinnj]

Waretown is South... please don't throw me in that category!

Exit 63, still 33 miles north of my exit for work. But that is the top of South Jersey.

[The Jays]

How about follow the title of this thread... if you get 101.5 on 101.5, then you're north. If you get it on 97.3, you're in south.

Anyone who thinks South Jersey starts when you get past the Staten Island bridges is a fucking moron. That's like saying the South in the US starts right below Maine.

I don't even get 101.5 here. I live in Bergen County and I can't hear that station unless I head an hour or so south.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Big Stein was considering moving the team to Jersey way back in the day.

Eh... not so much. The tower for 101.5 is located in Lawrenceville, which is in 609. The 97.3 frequency is mainly for way the fuck bumfuck South Jersey, the areas that Dave was talking about being full of rednecks.

if it's new jerseys own radio station then why do i hear it in philly. :wallbash:

Again, the transmitter. It's the most powerful signal in Jersey. We get Philly stations here.

I don't even get 101.5 here. I live in Bergen County and I can't hear that station unless I head an hour or so south.

Because the station is run by a bunch of douchebags.

[SLCRagu]

I also live in Ocean County and ten years ago they stole my 908 area code and gave me some shitty 732, and ever since then I have to dial the area code even for local calls.

A little off-topic but has anyone been to Seaside Heights lately, that place is becoming Asbury South very quickly.

[mtbeedee]

Let me end the argument.

Is it really that slow of a news day?
I'm currently living in the Mt Holly area (609) and people swear up and down that I'm in central Jersey when I tell them I live in south Jersey.

[Crippler]

I'm currently living in the Mt Holly area (609) and people swear up and down that I'm in central Jersey when I tell them I live in south Jersey.

One of my best friends from college grew up in Mt Holly. The summer after our Freshman year me & my 5 closest friends took a weekend here & there to all visit each other at home since we were all from different areas of NY & NJ.

During our venture to Mt. Holly my buddy's father drove us around to see the sites since the area has a rich history going back to colonial times. We saw one of the first fire houses in the state, a few other Revolutionary War historical sites, then he showed us "the new traffic light," with great excitement. I shit you not, it was 1993 & the town was getting its' 3rd traffic light.

Add that to the plentiful presence of homemade fire water/moonshine in mayonnaise jars at the local block party & I do believe that qualifies it as South Jersey more so than geography ever could.

[acinlet]

Why doesn't Dave come down to Atlantic City and Pleasantville and call people there rednecks. No white people live in these areas anymore. Its all black and spanish When they did live there it was Italians and jews. The most famous beaches of nj are in south jersey A.C Ocean City and Wildwood. The most per capita italian place in the country is hammonton,nj in south jersey. South jersey starts at long beach island where some philly and some ny people go the beac hi. No philly people go to seaside its all tommy cheeseballs. From trenton down south through burlington county to as east as lbi is south jersey anything above it is north/central jersey. I go to school in central jersey and i got lost one night in the woods of like east brunswick and that's not considered rural

[CofyCrakCocaine]

If it makes you feel any better, you're all the same to anyone not from Jersey.

I feel the same way whenever I see someone on the road whose rear plate possesses those red numbers on the white background. Accelerate, pass, keep wide berth, be extra scared, curse existence of, repeat.

[underdog]

If ever I'm stuck behind someone in the left lane on a highway, they either have Mass or NJ plates. Its unreal.

I remember driving from Boston to Western NY and EVERY single NJ plate on rt90 was in the left lane, without exception.

[Lady Resin]

I'm in Essex County and I can't get that station.

Oh well played sir.

If there's a Cumberland (Cumbee's) Farms near you, you're in South and a Krausers, you're in North? Does that work?

[Hottub]

That works.
All the Krausers used to be Garden State Farms.

Yeah but the jersey plates were all doing 90 MPH and swearing at the left lane bandit hayseed assholes doing 45.

It's simple, stay right except to pass. If you're not passing someone -- you're doing it wrong!

No, all the Jersey people were doing the speed limit and just staying in the left lane.

I remember I almost got in an accident because I tried passing one of the douchebags on the right, because he wouldn't move. Only he decided to speed up because he didn't want me in front of him going faster than him for whatever reason. And I almost rearended a truck at 110mph.

[drjoek]

Time to revive this thread (http://ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=63898&highlight=state+eliminate) and update my answer.

I'm going to speculate that those were transplants from Staten Island or PA. A native laughs at the speed limit - HAH! HAH, I say! - and climbs up your ass until you get the message and move over.

Seriously, it's my pet peeve. I HATE people who grab that left lane like they own it and refuse to move over. I try to practice what I preach and stay in the right lane as much as possible (it's almost always wide open these days).
