Irish-American towns in New Jersey (Sea Girt: shore, urban, fair)

[mead]

Yeah for a real suburban Irish town look across the border up in Rockland County. Pearl River, NY. Its a very Irish town.

Dunellen still is very Irish. Of course, the Italians and Poles have been around for a while as well, and about 10% of the population is now Hispanic. But you can still find Guinness on tap and Irish oriented items at the local gift store.

Rumson and Chatham are two towns with very large Irish American populations.

[NJ Chutzpah]

and the more urban north is italian and jews?

Sea Girt Beach Bum is the one who dug up this thread, not me. See the post she/he wrote, it was from yesterday.

Wiley, OMG, coca-cola spit onto my screen. ROTFLMAO! (That should make SGBB prove hi/her point of how uncouth we shanty are)

For now, I think I will cry myself to sleep., LOL!

Hello there, I am an Irish Catholic individual, too, and I do not know if you may have misinterpreted my statement, or some mistake with communication, but I see no reason you should take offense, and I am not elitist nor is what I described. But if it was a mistake on my end, receive my sincere apology.
