Camden Hits the Charts, With A Bullet!
- Thread starter RutgersRaRa
- Start date
I went to Chester PA "ONCE" to grab some parts i needed for work. Lets just say I was scared to death to get out of the car. I used to work in Newark and (like the article says) you knew what neighborhoods to stay out of. I am surprised Plainfield, NJ is not on the list.
no surprises there
On the positive side...
Bergenfield, NJ comes in at the 3rd safest city in the US.

Who did Baltimore pay to get off the top 10? I've been to everyone of those top 5 and Baltimore takes the cake hands down.
Think that only reason my town isn't in the top ten is because its not big enough. We only have 15k population
Remember that this is last year's list. After the summer they've had, Baltimore will probably be back on next year.
That doesn't surprise me. I used to have a traveling job that took me to most areas of New Jersey, and I always thought the state had some of the most extreme contrasts between well-off and poverty-stricken areas I'd seen.
I drive 9th Street through Chester every day to get to work (right on the border of Chester) and I've never once been scared for my life. Granted, that's just one street, but I've never had any issues around the area.
No question! We have of the worst and best places in the US in our state. It is what makes Jersey, Jersey I guess. From rolling mountains to what ever the hell Camden is suppose to be to tons of farm lands, to Brick City aka Newark. From the safest places to live to the most dangerous.
Jenny Jump State Forest.
Description
Jenny Jump State forest is located in Warren County along the magnificent rolling terrain of Jenny Jump Mountain. Panoramic vistas of the Highlands, Kittatinny Mountain Range and Valley to the west, and scenic views of Great Meadows in the East, dramatically greet the visitors who climb the narrow path leading to the top of Jenny Jump Mountain. Rocky outcroppings and boulders line the trail evidence of the great glaciers that once covered the area now known as Jenny Jump State Forest.
Chicago not #1?

Trenton is NOT South Jersey. I'll take credit for AC/Bridgeton/Camden, though. If you force Trenton on us, you might as well give us Philly and Chester and call them South Jersey too.
Jesus lol. So I spent my first 2 years of college in the most dangerous city in the country. Then transferred up north so I could be closer to the 60th most dangerous city. I currently live in the 9th most dangerous, which is only 10 minutes from the 2nd most dangerous city. I spent this past weekend in the 8th most dangerous city. Grew up no more than 30 minutes from the 25th and 27th, and 54th most dangerous cities. School of Hard Knocks.
The weird thing is that, even though they pale in comparison to Colorado and Washington State, many maps list them as "Watchung Mountains." At roughly 200 feet above sea level they hardly qualify, but someone got the ball rolling decades ago and it stuck. I grew up in Piscataway and we used to refer to them as the Watchung Mountains.
I am pretty sure I would have had him beat... if I didn't finally move to a nice neighborhood a few years ago.
Trenton's not in South Jersey? At best it's in the southern end of Central NJ, I guess.
I'll amend to say "3 (and arguably 4) of the Top 30". :)
As far as Philly and Chester, they're in PA - so, they certainly don't count as any part of NJ. That's like counting Hoboken or Jersey City as part of NY.
Trenton is the end of Central Jersey and the Start of South Jersey. You can include it in either one, I guess.
To paraphrase something Peter O'Toole used to say...
When Trenton's bad, SOUTH Jersey.
When not so bad, Central Jersey.
The USGS refers to them as the Watchung Mountains, but describes them as ridges known locally as mountains. Technically they are part of the Appalachian Piedmont.
Nope. Irvington qualified for inclusion as its population > 25K. It just didn't make the cut.
You sound like Kramer in that response, "...technically Norfolk has more gross tonnage." LOL
I see. Looks like a beautiful place but I wouldn't call that a mountainside; IMO California's hillsides in the valley (bay area) has deeper hills. It's irrelevant to the topic though so I apologize for even questioning it.
