    New Jersey Urban Areas

  • New Jersey's urban areas are the thing that give it a bad rap. Newark, East Orange, Irvington, Paterson, Jersey City, Trenton, Atlantic City, and Camden all have pretty bad areas. My advice is to know where you are going in these cities.

  • Please be careful when driving in NJ. It is full of perople who have nothing better to do than drive around in huge SUV's like maniacs. Use defensive driving here. Also, if you plan on driving the Garden State Parkway...... bring alot of change. Be safe...buckle up!!

  • The rides in all of their amusement parks (there are 3) were so old and broken down. I did not feel comfortable in them at all. After my visit some people did get hurt on them.

  • because New Jersey is so urbanized, the wildlife has been crowded into really small places. they just have nowhere else to go. and the deer population in New Jersey is huge. you seem them everywhere, all the time. and they run out in front of you in the road at night.... so be careful... this has happened to me several times!!!!

  • New Jersey Page by Vagrant22
  • when you are traveling to nyc and on the turnpike dont get of at jersey city or newark or paterson these areas are known for high crime . If you need to visit liberty state park in jersey city stay in the park if you wander out of the park u will be face to face with one of the worst slums in nj you will notice your there when u see all the abandoned factories and crackhouses and be carefull at the light rail its not all that safe

    Well, Lube yourself sounds wrong.. but it made you curious didn't it ? Please , please listen to me when I tell you that New Jersey is not what New Jersey used to be ... The sun is hotter and more dangerous than ever before . Take my word for it . I have Armenian olive skin . I never thought I would burn . I am used to going out on the beach and putting dark tanning oil on ( with ZERO SPF ! ) well ... not this summer ... this summer after my accident I hid from the sun ... I layed out for 5 hours on the beach and wondered why the cold outdoor shower felt so good, and why did I feel like I was sweating so much ? Well .. I couldn't lay on my front side for 2 weeks , had to visit a doctor , turns out i had second degree burns on my face and body .. how could I melt away my skin like that ? When I tell you I killed an Aloe plant ( and the aloe plant HURT SO BAD ... believe me ... it was horrible ... so enjoy my pictures because they tell a story , and very painful story ... please use sunscreen ( I now use spf 50 )
