Sorry, but you're NotInCentralJersey. Below I195 is the South. The accent changes, the culture is different, they have Wawa.Originally posted by NotInRHouse:
I think the voting map at the bottom is pretty right- Toms River and Trenton being last in Central, and north line of Central being Woodbridge and the burbs north of Princeton. That first map with Warren in Central is just screwy,
I think the 908/78 line is roughly right for the northern border, but people saying 195 is the Southern line is ridiculous. So northern Jackson, Howell, and Wall are Central, but south of that, and places like Squan and Point Pleasant are south? No way. All of 732 is Central NJ. Toms River is the approximate line on the shore side.
Sorry, but using Wawa is not a good indicator of south/central Jersey differentiation, since there are plenty of them in the central NJ (Monmouth/Middlesex/Mercer County) area..Originally posted by Piscataway:

Maybe not in Wall but not sure about Howell.Originally posted by NotInRHouse:
The accent is different from one part of Wall to another?

I really don't understand this whole debate. Anything south of Bergen County is Central Jersey. Anything South of New Brunswick is South Jersey. Except for anything south of the Driscoll bridge and east of the parkway which is clearly the Shore. Everything else (which includes west of 287) can be refered to as South Jersey or Hicksville.
No it's the same- Brooklyn and SI accent!Originally posted by e5fdny:

LOL. Howellbama part of Howell definitely has a different accent than parts bordering Freehold and Colts Neck. As for Wall, the southern part of Wall is more countrified than North Wall.Originally posted by e5fdny:

Wow, that poll is bad (or just misguided). Other than when I was at Rutgers, while living in NJ I have never lived farther north than Deptford, NJ (Gloucester County) with most of my time growing up being in/around Vineland (Cumberland County) and it pegged me as being from North Jersey.Originally posted by Scarlet_Scourge:
There are a few NJ accents though ironically the stereotype one used by Hollywood doesn't exist in New Jersey at all (it's from Staten Island which is NYC for our mid-western friends who might be reading this).
Which one fits you? Find out by taking this quiz:

But the number of Wawa's south of 195 is insane compared to everything north of it. South of 195 and there's a bunch of wawa's all over the place, north of 195 and the few ones they have are spread out. I think that was more along his line of thinkingOriginally posted by RUsSKii:

It's really the same people throughout towns like Wall and Howell. Yeah, certain areas are wealthier than others, but most of the people still come from NYC/North Jersey (like everyone else in Monmouth).
195 is just a crazy and indefensible line. I really don't know how it gets adherence. One of my friends from South Jersey stills insists Belmar is a "North Jersey" beach...I wonder if that's just the area that falls north of 138....
Eh still don't agree, at least not where I grew up in Marlboro. There were at a minimum three Wawa's within a 10-minute drive radius when I was in high school, and no less than three more have since been added..Originally posted by Terry_2426:

Let me tell you as somebody that grew up in North Wall/Glendola, those kids in South Wall/Allenwood were different.The accent is different from one part of Wall to another?
Also there are Wawas in Kearney and Parsippany....
The best North/South dividing line is where you buy Rita's Italian Ice (North) or Rita's Water Ice (South)
C;mon Willis. Stop with this. East Brunswick and North Brunswick are not South Jersey. Not a little, not a lot. Not at all.
Why do people from North Jersey want to make South Jersey triple the size of North Jersey?
When a man refers to soft ice cream as "custard" and the things he puts on it as "jimmies" does his opinion really matter?
