I grew up in Newark/E.O. before moving away in 1980 and I also spent some time in Trenton because of relatives, and the last time I went back a few years ago Newark has done some amazing things.
 
new Brunswick is picking up. lots of high rises and apartments going up. got 2 major hospitals near by plus rutgers college. nj transit right in the center of it taking you to manhattan in an hr. if you driving its got major highways bordering it.
 
I would say Elizabeth, because you got the busy vibe of Newark within close proximity.....But when you need a rest from all the action and you want a quiet environment to recharge, you can dip off.



On a side note, if Colombian chicks and Puerto Rican chicks is your thing, Elizabeth is haven for them also.

Although I only fuck wit Black chicks, I just thought I would put that out there.
 
Out of the choices given, I would say JC. Decent city vibe on it's own, and has a great view of Manhattan and a short ass PATH ride from Manhattan. Newark has the vibe, and it's close to NYC, although not as close and no great view....plus, although both have some grimeyness.....The fuckin Brickz is just more grimy in my experience. That's a plus to a lot of people I know, but I got no time for that shit. :lol:.
 
Camden is top 3 for worst cities in the country. :smh: Shit looks like a goddam Resident Evil movie. :smh:

Damn not Raccoon City
The home of the Original Panzarotti

I often consider Camden. = East Philadelphia

Downtown is ok. They built it up nice where the Aquarium is and where the Sixers practice facility is. Man put it like this, 5 years ago I took my son there for a Pop-Warner football game against Camden right? Going through the city to get to the field was like going through a fuckin 3rd world country. Abandon houses everywhere, houses where people were living literally looked like they were mere minutes from collapsing, trash fuckin everywhere. Was depressing as fuck. Football field was one of the worst I've ever seen for kids. Literally 85% dirt. Felt sorry for the kids who had to be subjected to this shit man. :smh: Recently had to visit my uncle in a Hospital in Camden. Again, driving through the city is sad. After dark armed security has to escort you to your car across the street. :smh: Fuck that city completely.

I'm from Jersey City the hood still the hood but that downtown area is special right now they fixed that shit up its baby Manhattan frfr I can't believe how beautiful that shit looks

I'm heavy in Jersey I have ties in all the hoods besides Trenton because I either have family there, worked out there, or lived out there

I wouldn't live in NONE OF THESE PLACES

BTW my family is from Camden they all scattered in the 80-90s I don't think not one of em actually live out there even tho alot of them still go to church out there but I say that to say this CAMDEN IS PHILLY

WE DON'T CONSIDER Camden, Trenton, or Atlantic City part of NJ it's debatable if Asbury is NJ too lol

Once u pass exit 8A on that turnpike its a wrap.

The hoods will always be Nwk, JC, Paterson, Elizabeth, Irvington, Plainfield, Passaic, East Orange, New Brunswick, and it's towns that have lil hoods and/or PJs in them that has its ghetto parts like Linden, Rahway, Carteret, Bayonne, Hoboken, Franklin
 
Wondering why these specific cities were picked. They're not all large in population. Is it because they're majority black?
They are huge in population when u consider the other cities in nj

And I think he did it because it's mostly black

I can't speak on the North, but South Jersey is wack. SJ is for families. The only good thing about SJ is it's proximity to Philly. Restaurants are wack. Bars (unless you're white) are wack.
My co-worker says Jersey City is cool, but I've never been.
 
I'm from Jersey and I'd like to say fuck the entire state. Fuck all these cities here. And Trenton MOST DEFINITELY ain't shit!!

:lol: Why do you say this?

A nice area for families is a bad thing?
