Jersey Accent

What most people call the dialect spoken in Staten Island, Bayonne and parts of Long Island. The actual Northern NJ accent today is a mellowed version of a New York Accent, which in itself has its origins in the original British accent. (As NY was a Tory region for so long.) NYers tend to drop their R's more than NJers but otherwise pronounce words like coffee and talk as (kawfey) and (tawk) And New York like Nu-yawk.)

With So many hundreds of thousands of people moving to and from the NYC metro area every year, The traditional Jersey Accent has all but disappeared.

joisey

1920's Betty Boop, caricturish, outdated notion of how New Jerseyians talk. Mostly propagated by middle of the country bumkins who have never left their home town.

Midwesterner1: I used to think people from Joisey all have big or slicked hair, live in an ethnic neighborhood and drive around in a Camaro. And when they weren't screaming at their girlfriend to Shut the Fuck Up they're stealin' somebodies hubcaps.

Midwesterer2: So, what changed your mind?

Midwesterner1: I went there.

Stratton Mountain

Decent, medium-sized ski resort in southern Vermont. Trails are not terribly difficult, but has some nice cruising terrain. Vertical drop is mediocre for Vermont but biggest in southern green mountains.
Fake developer village at bottom of mountain easily impresses Mcmansion dwellers but otherwise has no real town or population center nearby. Probably ranks second in contrived, commercial atmosphere after Killington. Nice scenic drive to/from resort.

McMansion Dweller: Hey guys I just stayed at this quaint New England Village at the bottom of Stratton Mountain.

Guys: That Village was manufactured in a factory in Perth Amboy, NJ 2 years ago. You need to go to Stowe my friend.

-Sandy Hook
-Ocean Grove
-Avon by the Sea
-Belmar (weekdays)
-Seaside Park (Yeah Really)
-Island Beach
