North, South or Central Jersey?
There's a line drawn between North and South Jersey, but we're all Jersey girls and guys. Jersey has a unique quality about it. As soon as you say you're from Jersey, people think they have an idea of who you are, or what you'll be like.
Last night we caught an episode of Split Ends, and the Jersey guys on the show made me laugh. They are true to the idea a lot of people have, but my husband and I said...man, they're really more "North Jersey" near the city. Closer you get to the city, the more you'll get that "Jersey accent and talk".
Where I live in Central Jersey, we don't sound like that, and we don't talk like that.
Go to South Jersey, and you're close to Philly. North Jersey, closer to NY City...
Central Jersey...not close to anything. Okay, maybe Trenton, but come on...it's like a blip on a map.
Central Jersey folk are sort of like middle America soccer Moms and Dads. We don't have that thick accent, we don't all look like Guido and Theresa with big poufy hair and hairspray, and we don't all think or say bada-bing or think oh, Jersey/Sopranos.
We're not the north or south...we're sort of our own thing. The dividing line is funny. Some people say below Trenton is South Jersey, some people divide it by a highway, 95, 295 or 78. How do you divide Jersey?
I don't consider myself North Jersey or South Jersey...I'm Central Jersey baby, and while I'm Jersey fresh, I'm not your typical Jersey girl! (or what other people think a Jersey girl is!)
