So, when I got home about 5 fb friends shared this map and 3 links were in my inbox. What do we think?

I don't think Italian Guys in Wife Beaters hang out at Island Beach State Park, but other than that - verdict?

I think he was off on Collingswood & Lambertville, but oh well. My guess was Rutgers geography grad student, salesman or political volunteer.

Yeah, some of the borders are a bit off; Collingswood should be "Happy White Families"; "Worse than Detroit" pretty much stops at the city of Camden border. West Orange should be "Melting Pot", not "Friendly White Families". And "Philly Trash" extends all the way to AC :-)

Love it for what it is, just something fun and light hearted.

If ya look too deep into it and take things too seriously, like I did at first (I would not consider my town a "Well-to-do Conservative" Christie Country town but we fall well within the red), you'll miss what's supposed to be funny about it.

Yeah, I think he needed to head a little north of Hackensack there, but yeah . . .

Haha this map was doing work on Facebook today. I thought it was remarkably accurate, with some obvious exceptions, such as Collingswood as mentioned above. Also, can anyone explain "Ghetto in the Woods?" As far as I know, there is nothing there... shouldn't it just be part of the Pinelands? Also, not sure about the "Canadians and Philly Trash" part of the shore. Cape May is one of the nicest shore towns in the state, but I don't know if "Philly trash" is supposed to represent a bad or relatively neutral group of people in this case. It might have been better to just split the shore as "Shoobies" south of LBI and "Bennies" north of LBI.
