I remember the one in Brick on Chambersbridge Rd. There's a Best Buy and some other stores where it once was now. I also remember the Chanel store on Rt. 37 in TR. That's been a few things over the years but it's now a Stop N' Shop.

Actually the Central Jersey borders are the Driscoll Bridge (Raritan River) to the North and Lacey Township (Exit 73 of the GSP) to the South and I-195 runs just about through the middle of those two points.

I-195 enters the chat.

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.

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.

Alright, try to follow closely. North Jersey is anything North of the Driscoll Bridge (Raritan River) to the NY State line, while Central Jersey is anything South of the Driscoll Bridge down to Lacey Twnshp (where TR is within), and South Jersey is anything from Lacey Twnshp down to Cape May. These areas run East to West from the Shore to the Delaware Bay/River/PA State line. Everyone who disagrees about this are splitting hairs for the sake of being argumentative (that would be you) and most likely call Pork Roll 'Taylor Ham', drive like idiots, and root for the Eagles.

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.

I'll do no such thing lol. TR is Central Jersey and its proximity to the Shore does not change that fact.

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.

Divide the State in thirds. Where's TR? Right there in Central Jersey. Albeit lower Central Jersey but Central Jersey nonetheless.

There's no shortage of deer and their poop in Cattus that's for sure.

Yes. U/haironf1re got the correct answer of Cattus Island County Park about 10mins ago. The photo is of Mosquito Cove which is within the park boundaries and part of Barnegat Bay.
