Blog Post 2: The Big Debate
Okay, one of the biggest debates you’re going to come across is whether or not central jersey exists. I’ll settle it for you once nd for all: it does. Central jersey does exist. However, both north and south jersey are very against its existence. They believe that there is a line that goes straight across the state dividing it into two equal halves. However, not to be biased or blunt, they’re wrong. They fail to take into consideration the cultural differences between north, central and south jersey. You know where someone’s from in NJ based off of how they act and how they speak. It is similar to how the people in the UK feel about people and their accents from other areas. Anyway, that line I was talking about before lies just below Trenton.
On the other hand, for people who are from central jersey, its existence should not be debated at all. Everyone should agree that it exists. There can be three separate parts of a state and in this case there is. I would only consider three counties to be in central jersey: middletown, middlesex, and mercer. It is not as big as north and south jersey, but it still exists. North jersey is close to NYC, south jersey is close to Philly and LBI, and central jersey has what’s known as the shore. It’s a strip of beaches down the coast of central jersey (which is why there’s a central jersey).
Central jersey is in the middle of the state, it has a different culture, and honestly everything about it is so different. The way people act is different and the way they talk is different. So, if you ever hear two people from New Jersey arguing about central jersey’s existence, know it does exist.
