Reply to comment by haironf1re in Can you tell me where this is? (Hint: it's in Central Jersey) by Dead_Is_Better

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! That's Mosquito Cove in Cattus Island County Park in Toms River.

Who TF considers TR to be Central Jersey?

I was a bit confused to, because I draw the line to South Jersey around the Monmouth County border.

Where are you from that you don't?

Brick. North of TR. In South Jersey (or on the Shore), but I've never heard anyone refer to Ocean County as Central Jersey (or vice versa).

I'm from Ocean County and I equally hear people her refer to Ocean County as both Central Jersey and South Jersey

Problem is you can’t draw that line by county. Grew up touching TR.

Southern Ocean County I’ve experienced “lawnmower racing” fueled by everyone drinking home made moonshine out of mason jars.

That shit does not happen in the northern half.

There’s someone on this sub that gets triggered if you call ocean county south

Yes! I’d like to thank my youngest brother (he’s out here somewhere on Reddit and won’t tell me his name) he introduced me to this lovely spot. Very beautiful. I recommend checking it out. This was a fun game!

It's a beautiful place indeed. I'm old enough to have spent time there before it became a park and you could still drive all the way out to the bay.

So your from the BellCrest neighborhood I assume. I'm from the other side of Fischer Blvd aka the cool side lol.

Robotoxin t1_j9umzz6 wrote

Yeah, you're definitely from a nicer section. Home is home, though

There's really not much of a difference. My friends and I used to hang out in Bellcrest quite a bit in the late 70's and early 80's and knew quite a lot of folks from that neighborhood.

It's a shame Bellcrest Plaza is the way it is now. It used to have some good stuff in it - Arcade, pool hall, pet store, pizzaria, etc. Still has potential, but I doubt anything good comes of it

That arcade had Pengo, which I loved, and some kick-ass Pinball machines. I miss the old Lane Drugs and McCrory's that used to be there way back when and the Foodtown is gone now as well. I was the Courier for Foodtown at the time when they closed down. It was a great job and I miss it. Now there's a chicken joint, a restaurant called Tardi's which is pretty good, there's a DQ and a gym, and the Burger King is now a Joe's Bagels. Driftwood Deli is still across the street though and still very good. I recommend the number 22.

I instantly recognized this spot! I actually performed a wedding ceremony there last May!

The ashes of my Grandparents and my Uncle have been spread in that cove over the years. I wasn't exactly on board with that but my Nan (Grandmother) loved Cattus because it reminded her of where she grew up in England so, because we couldn't split them up, that's where they are. It's a beautiful place to go visit them.
