      Pitman/Glassboro/Sewell Area here!

      dunno if you lived in the area around umm 1985 I think when Mayor Wilson Goode ordered a bomb dropped on top of a building and literally burned an entire city block to the ground.


      That was the MOVE incident. Actually the police used a small explosive that unknowingly set off the arsenal the MOVE members had stored on the roof!

        You want urban renewal in Camden? Turn the Battleship New Jersey's main guns 90 degrees to Starboard and open fire!
        I have been to a lot of "ify" places in the world, but Camden, NJ takes the cake as the creepiest. I support the network for the Southern New Jersey Light Rail system and the maintance / admin offices are in Camden, and let me tell you....what a poop hole!

                  Our Catholic church just built a new chapel to replace the other one. It cost ~$2-3 million dollars, and it was completed last year. They already ran out of parking on Sundays.


                  We just built a new $23 million junior high that is supposed to be at capacity in 5 years.

                    Haha... yeah our school had a major paper shortage like 2 weeks ago... totaly empty. We were printing our labs in computer science and the printer was out, so our teacher went to get more... came back a while later and said "There's no more paper"

                            not to mention those stupid segways have a rather limited range and can be out-paced by a bike.

                                Correct me if I'm wrong (yeh right, like I have to give AO that invitation) but wasn't the Segway originally intended to allow people in wheelchairs an alternative mode of transportation that allowed them to be at eye-level with others that were standing - and if I recall, through some complicated procedure, the thing could even climb stairs. I may be thinking of a different model though of the Segway.

                                BTW... all this talk of Camden is almost making me want to visit to see if its as bad as y'all say... I assume I will need to open the safe and find something a little more aggressive than my .45 though.
