I think ITK and I have talked about this before. Right on the edge of Farms & Army Bases and Alabama. It's true.
 
I worked at a a tool manufacturing plant right on the Eastern part of the "poor Minorities" and south of the " Hipsters (though poor minorities in the early 90s), and I would have to say that they are the richest "poor people" in America that I know. Little tiny houses, zero yards, 8 feet from their neighbor costing 300K+. PATH train to NYC keeps it rich.
 
Grew up in 'Happy White Families' but went to HS on the border of 'Worse Than Detroit' in Gloucester City. I can't really argue with any of this. Gotta love the Dirty Jerz!
 
LadyDeacToy is from right on the border of Executives Living in Mansions Driving Mercedes-Benzes and Middle Class Raritan Valley Line Commuters. Sounds about right. His parents are closer to middle/upper middle class, but there are definitely a ton of ridiculous houses nearby and a lot of his HS friends' families were very well off.
 
Executives living in houses priced liked mansions driving Mercedes-Benzes would be more accurate.

Depends on where in Morris County you're talking about: Morristown, Morris Plains, Morris Township, Parsippany, Randolph, Madison, Florham Park, East Hanover - you'll get the whole range. Then you move on to Harding, Bernardsville, Mendham, Chatham, Bedminster, New Vernon, Peapack Gladstone - ridiculous estates/mansions/homes...


I'm moving to 'Drunk Rutgers Students' next month - should be fun.
 
This is pretty much every state that has enough population to warrant more than 5-6 electoral votes.
 
We never had a Mercedes, but my brother moved to be around other old people.
 
I'm reminded of the old quip: why is it that although NJ only makes up 3% of the US population, 25% of the people you meet come from NJ?
