Same thing for us - going north it's exit 2.

She's Cherry Hill/Blackwood area

We moved from the 'hoods of North Jersey, exit 15A to Route 280 (according to dh) --East Orange and Newark. Don't miss that place for nuttin'. The inlaws are still in the urban jungle. Sis in law is begging dh to come and get her for a visit. I don't blame her for wanting a change in scenery. All of Durham is "the 'burbs" in comparison.

Union Beach, Exit 117 from the Parkway.

No way! We are from Sparta too! DH and I both graduated from Sparta HS.

We are from extreme S. Jersey near Ocean City...so when we go back to visit family we get off I95 right at the Del. Mem Bridge and head shore-ward.

Been here over a year and love it..we are in the Clayton area.

Drop me a DM if you have specific questions as I don't want to hijack, but I can tell you we looked all over the triangle on a scout visit and ended up in South Durham and we love it. A huge change from LA, and a change for the better as long as I'm concerned!
