you know how when you arrive somewhere and see a line of people outside--but someone just has to go to the door only to find it's locked? yeah that is why everyone is standing outside


this thread has happened before hasnt it?

[ottomobeale]

Been done but nice list with decent categorization

What's the point of this thread? All residents or former residents of NJ are well aware of the "ghettos" in the state.

Definitely forgot Mount Holly, Browns Mills, Pemberton, as 3s.

How come our towns are never listed on there?

[MoorestownResident]

Well Phillipsburg certainly should be!

Well yes, Warren County does have at least one!!!! But overall, our county is one of the lowest on the list of crime stats for NJ. Hence the reason I just don't get people coming in here an wanting information on one of the listed bad areas??? I'd rather live in a safe area..making less money..paying less money than choosing to live in on of those twps. - Towns - Cities. Especially if I had KIDS!

I disagree with Bayonne being on the downturn. On the contrary, it's getting better.
