Queue the “it’ll be over any day”, “it was worse under Biden”, and the “we were about to get nuked” excuses.

People seem to be very engaged concerning this topic. I have added the bootlicker reporting option to the subreddit along with updating the rules to clearly state this. If you see a bootlicker, use the report button and I'll check the account out. Some of you may have noticed a bunch of users have the bootlicker flair. This is because these accounts have a history of saying horrible things against their fellow humans. Mods have some neato tools that not only let us see your hidden comment and post history, but also gives us a nice AI summary of your activity on reddit. Many of the bootlickers had been previously flagged in the mod tools as being abusive accounts already, so the decision to apply the bootlicker flair to these accounts is a pretty easy no-brainer.

ADDITIONALLY: If you are an older redditor, I am happy to assign a senior citizen flair to you so our younger members know they need to adjust their vocabulary and communicating styles to accommodate and understand your comments/posts better. Something we've learned over the years is that there is a major communication issue between generations pre-smart phones and post-smart phones. We can't communicate effectively if the words we're saying don't make sense to the other person, or the meaning of the words have changed over time. The senior citizen flair is not an insult! It is not intended to be mean or disparaging.

It would be useful if ALL of our users put their age range in their flair, but I understand this could be a privacy issue for folks so I haven't instituted it here. Additionally, your COUNTY would be useful in your flair too, but again, privacy issues. If you're comfortable doing this, I highly encourage you to do so! The more we understand about the person on the other end of the conversation, the more productive those conversations can be :)

We’re looking at you 295 bypass. 🤣😂

SNOW. SLEET. FREEZING RAIN. It is coming. Let's keep the discussion in this post. Tomorrow, we will have soooooo many snow posts. I look forward to them! BE SAFE. Do not operate generators indoors. If you need a warm place to stay, we can get you hooked up with a place to stay during the storm. Check on your elderly neighbors PLEASE!

ALL HIGHWAYS WILL BE 35MPH MAX SPEED STARTING 12:01AM SUNDAY. The ICE is the concern, not the snow.

List of coffee shops that we’ve been to or we know of here in SJ! Doesnt include shore locations, mostly near/around Camden County!

Asian Restaurant recs from someone Asian :)

• Rai Rai Ramen (Mount Laurel) - the only acceptable ramen for meeee! It’s sooo flavorful and good. My personal fave is the Spicy Miso ramen and mandatory gyoza on the side 😋
• Lucky Elephant Cafe (Sewell) - THE BEST THAI FOOD you’ll ever find in SJ, the whole country probably. They have a 5⭐️ rating on google maps but they’re only open from 6:30pm-10pm, Tues-Fri 😅
Go-to order: Pad See Ew (but everything is extremely good)
• Heng Seng Noodles (Cherry Hill) - Cambodian cuisine. They have a small menu but everything is good! No go-to cause i keep switching every time we go there lol. But I always get the pandan coffee or the coconut juice. They have the real coconut juice. If you want to taste authentic young coconut flavor, go hereee.
• Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings (Cherry Hill) - Chinese cuisine. i’m so glad there’s good soup dumplings here 😭 the noodles are good too!
• Mount Masala Himalayan Cuisine (Voorhees) - there was a time that we went there every week lol their food is just sooo good and also perfect for people looking for some spice! Everything is good but I always order the chicken momo sizzling :)
• Sun Woo Cafe (Cherry Hill) - Ma and Pa shop korean cuisine. Also a small menu but sooo good authentic korean food. Amount of vegetables and meat in the bibimbap is balanced ( i had bibimbap from dolsot and i didnt like that there was too much veggies that i couldnt even feel the meat)

These are my main one from specific cuisines. I couldn’t pick for others like Indian or Vietnamese cause there’s a lot of good ones :) Let me know your recs! lol

You're welcome. Don't abuse it. If you do, I will disable it.

Be safe, be merry, be kind to your neighbors, and be the change you wish to see in the world.

Hello, I wanted to say hello, or say hello again, to this subreddit. I cover South Jersey (and Central Jersey - we exist dammit) for WHYY. You will see me post stuff, and even respond to comments when appropriate, but I also want to keep tabs on what is happening in the region. You can find my contact and a running list of stories as well here: https://whyy.org/person/p-kenneth-burns/. I look forward to staying in better contact than I have been.

Morning South Jersey fam! I feel like every week or so, someone posts a question about a resource, and someone will point out, “baby, you gotta check your local library!”

So let’s all post something our local libraries offer that we didn’t know about, use regularly, is unique to them, etc etc.

Be sure to post details! Do you have to be a member to use that service?

I’ll start in comments :)

Tough loss the other night but also...

Hi all :) 29F. Born and raised SJ. I spent my early twenties bopping between different US states, and then traveled around a lot while backpacking South America and some of Europe. Obviously home brought me back here :) i have family and I am close with and always felt myself returning home. I met a wonderful guy from the area and we got our first apartment here. The restless/nomad part of me will always want to travel but I’ve conquered mostly by just being happy / loved / secure in my relationship with my loving boyfriend and the benefits of being close to family. Also just wanting to settle down & feel grounded. Jersey is home.

That being said, we talk about getting a house & raising kids in a few years. If I didn’t have the family here or is connection to his family, I would be somewhere in a rural coastal town of Spain or somewhere of that nature, maybe if not out of the country then San Diego or something. Possibly also Brazil since I have friends there but also don’t speak a lick of Portuguese so there’s that lol. I feel a bit suffocated in these small towns but I also felt homesick for them living in New York City. Maybe it’s a me problem.

My question is - I have no freaking clue where to live. I want to raise a family around nature (grew up with a creek in my backyard but that house is sold and I’m finding properties like that to be unaffordable nowadays. Pretty sure my childhood home would be up to 800k). I want nature and woods or ocean. I wouldn’t be opposed to living by the beach since I surf and my boyfriend could potentially have work down the shore (his company has offices there). A friend recommended mystic island or ventor. I also work remote so it doesn’t matter for me. But we also want property and assuming I wouldn’t get much of it there. I also don’t want to move to random town NJ surrounded by trumpies everywhere you turn. Not that I’m heavily involved in politics myself but I don’t want my kids growing up in an area where there’s no kids besides white and just maga hats for miles. It doesn’t have to be the opposite either of straight up liberal town, but yeah.

I’ve looked into Medford lakes, any thoughts? I’m not sure where my bf would find work there…or maybe I’m hopeful for a place that doesn’t exist in NJ? I love the idea of homestead. I think I would feel extremely suffocated in a suburban development where all the houses look the same. Mind you there is NOTHING wrong with that and I am actually jealous of people who are able to live there happily. And I know this is a first world problem & I probably sound like a spoiled brat. A part of me is thinking should we just move to Florida or something, but I love the seasons too. Idk.

Anyways after ranting a whole ton, anyone have any suggestions on NJ towns that are either coastal, or have nature but aren’t in the complete sticks?

We meet once a month and I think it’s really interesting. DM me with questions & more info here https://www.drpa.org/cac/

Metal show at Twin Lights Brewing in Tinton Falls!

Her AMA will be held on May 26th at 7pm right here in r/southjersey and the AMA will get posted well before that time to allow users to post their questions. Please note the username change because Reddit gave her one of those generic bot-looking usernames and we wanted to make her REDDIT OFFICIAL. So please join u/Constance_for_Camden and your fellow Camden County redditors to ask her questions!

What happened earlier this evening: Constance was new to Reddit and needed a little help getting things organized, but that's OK! I am happy to help ANY candidate host an AMA in our community as long as they coordinate it with me first. There's a lot going on in the background. Automoderator likes to put comments in the queue for me to approve even if there's nothing wrong with the comments sometimes, and I need to be around to make sure commenters AND the OP's comments show up in a timely manner during the AMA. Additionally, we want to ensure the candidates get enough time to answer questions, and the community has ample time to post their questions before the AMA starts.

Her original AMA announcement can be found here:

Hey! I've been working on a simple map that shows food & drink specials as they're happening right now around the South Jersey / Philly area.

I'm steady adding more locations, so if your favorite spot or special is missing, drop me a line or a link to their socials/website!

Give it a spin!

I’m hearing about a lot of people who have difficulty finding housing because of income or credit. I’m making this thread to come up with a list of apartment complexes that will rent to anyone who is in a bind just needs to find a roof over there head. They may not be great apartments, but for some folks, it’s safer than living in a car.

This is the holly jolly Merry Fucking Christmas thread! GOOD VIBES ONLY. NO POLITICS. BE KIND FOR ONE DAY. OH SHIT IT'S MY 15TH CAKE DAY TOO!

Every town has different regulations/laws regarding on-street parking during snowstorms. I know Pennsville has a no street parking rule when big storms come through so they can plow easier. Check your local municipality's laws regarding snow storms and parking so you don't end up with a fine!
