Your not going to get all that in LBI or Forked River.

Toms River's congestion is not the only problem...it is all the senior citizen's on the road. I lived in Lacey (Lanoka Hbr) for 26 years. Toms River & Berkeley became the senior citizen capital of nj. I stopped going to the grocery store during the day because of all the seniors being dropped off by the busload...you couldn't navigate the aisles with them all in the middle. I am almost a senior now and I would not want to be on the road with all the 80+ drivers in such a small area. I cannot tell you how many accidents and near misses I saw by seniors who barely see over the steering wheel. Forked River has everything Toms River has EXCEPT all the seniors.
