Talk:Jersey Shore

message: It says the Jersey Shore "excludes the estuaries of New York Bay and Delaware Bay."  What about the beaches of Raritan Bay, espcially in northern Monmouth County near Keyport and Aberdeen?
I think it depends on whether or not someone is talking about "the Shore" as a destination or "the Shore" as a region. If one is talking about the region then certainly Monmouth Co. (except those areas in the 609 area code) is in that  region. On the other hand,  I'm from Monmouth Co. and I've never heard anyone say "i'm going down the shore" because they were headed to Keyport. People always have, and still do refer to that area as the Bayshore. In terms of the Bayshore I think Earle is the cutoff. People definitely include Atlantic Highlands and Highlands as part of "the shore."  I also think it's important to note somewhere that i've never heard a native of the area say "i'm going to the shore." They say they're "going to the beach".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.212.126 (talk) 18:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Geographically, the term encompasses the New Jersey coast from Sandy Hook in the north to Cape May in the south and excludes the estuaries of New York Bay and Delaware Bay."  So I guess Raritan Bay is sort of a gray area in regards to the sentence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.185.189 (talk) 13:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No gray area here. Any of the towns bordering the Raritan Bay have always been considered part of the Bayshore, a region distinct from The Shore. This certainly would include the Highlands, as seen here: http://www.bayshorenj.biz/ Among the bayshore towns, only Sandy Hook (which isn't even really a town so much as a peninsula and a national recreation area) can share the distinction of being on both the Shore and the Bayshore.

message: Regarding In almost all cases the word "shore" itself only refers to the beaches of New Jersey, as it is almost unthinkable to refer to anything outside of New Jersey as a "shore.": 
What? I don't understand what the author is getting at here.  Can someone explain it? -Rwv37 19:43, May 2, 2004 (UTC)

What it means is, nowhere else do people say they are going to "the shore"  only in  NJ do tehy call it this.
How can you say this definatively?MCWicoff 05:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Shore"

message: There is a new article Shore Region that was suggested for merging into this article. The article doesn't have much content and woud have seemed a likely candidate to change to a redirect. Howevere, the New Jersey article describes that "the New Jersey Commerce, Economic Growth & Tourism Commission divides the state into six distinct regions to facilitate the state's tourism industry." This might very well justify keeping it as a standalone article. Alansohn 00:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure how to best maintain this list, as I don't know where to find sources for it at the moment.  However, I removed a handful of towns (such as Toms River and Wall) that are most certainly not "destinations" for anybody in the sense this article seems to mean.--Dmz5 07:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: No. I've never heard anyone call the shore "downdashore." All that's happened is that someone has tried to spell in a heavy New Jersey accent, in the process torturing a prepositional phrase into a noun. Probably to make people from New Jersey sound stupid.

message: A "Benny" has nothing to do with Philadelphia. Benny gets its name from two possible origins, one being the first letter of the following places where Bennys are from; Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, New York. The other origin dates back to when Jews would come down the shore. A common Jewish name was Benjamin, hence the name "Benny"   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aczaplicki (talk • contribs) 02:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Citizens of certain areas of the Shore are unique in New Jersey because some communities often have mixed affiliations between New York and Philadelphia.
This quote has no citation and leaves the wrong message. Central Jersey has the same exact multi-metro area influence and a place like Hightstown or Cranbury is actually only about 60 miles apart, as opposed to the 90 each Long Beach Island has. So it's not that unique in the state of NJ have mixed affiliations. When I said leaving the wrong message though, I'm unsure if it was previously deleted, but it gives the impression people from those areas may have moved there, in any significant numbers, which isn't true. Most people who've historically populated this area are various parts of New Jersey. I remember there being something that said Most principally populated from New York and Philadelphia, but that idiotic remark was made more in reference to Cape May. I'll be deleting the following quote above.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.230.11 (talk) 20:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

message: 1)Not sure why the "Pollution Controversies" section was removed. It seems to me that it is notable and it was also sourced with an article from the Star-Ledger. (This is just a question...I can see that the user who made this edit made other apparently good edits, and this might be, too, am just questioning the logic since there was no explanation.)
2)Vandalism to this page is getting somewhat out of hand what with the popularity/notoriety of Jersey Shore (TV series).  I'd like to propose page protection, but seeing as there are anonymous IP users here who do make good-faith edits, I wanted to suggest it here first before making a formal request for this to be done (assuming it meets the guidelines).
