I'm sittin right outside of Williamstown. If ya played any sports in high school I prolly played against you. Went to Clearview (which, by the way flagrantly wastes my money better than any other tax....)

I lived in kinda south jersey (Sicklerville/Williamstown area) when they put in the aquarium full of fish from the delaware river in camden... they spent a tone of money building tanks for muddy brown fish no one wanted to see... they eventually rebuilt it and stocked it with tropical and more "interesting" fish if I remember correctly...

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!

$175 Million Dollars to "Revitalize" Camden, NJ!

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.

My school buys enough chairs that it can't afford paper. We have like 1.5 chairs per student and we have about 2000 students now.

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"

lol

I'm gonna have to agree with big'n slow here. I blow all my money on strippers, and booze.

[Zumina]

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

[PyRo]

Yeah, why in the hell would they use. Whats next, metro's for the police department?

[Lohman446]

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.
