In what state/province/nation were you born?
I was born in Oklahoma. If I'd been born a few months earlier, I would have been born in Germany - but I still would have been a US citizen.

40. I Know The Feeling
I grew up in Morris Township, which is heavily Republican. In fact, when my family moved to town, the Board of Elections called my mother and BEGGED her to work at the polling place, because they had trouble getting enough Democratic workers.

78. Ahh, Good Old Toms River
Edited on Fri Dec-24-04 10:28 AM by CO Liberal
Every summer when I was growing up, the CYO group at my church would sponsor a one-day bus trip to Seaside Heights. Since you have to go through Toms River to get to Seaside, every time I see Toms River, I think of Seaside Heights.



Seaside Heights and Seaside Park

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Located just north of Long Beach Island, Seaside Heights has a mile long boardwalk, nice beach and plenty to do. The Boardwalk is particularly popular with young people, and in 1999 and 2002 MTV picked it as the location for it's summer beach house, broadcasting from there all summer long. Just south along the ocean is Seaside Park, offering a quiet boardwalk, delightful beaches, and a variety of excellent dining experiences. Just south of these towns is Island Beach State Park.
