Strong Side... North Side

What many people don't understand about New Jersey is that there is an on going battle between the North and South Jersey.  New Jersey is cut into two sections, north and south.  I know that it is not actually divided, but within the state itself their is a heated rivalry between north and south Jersey.  Being from the northern end of Jersey I always believe that North Jersey is better but I could see where some southerners are coming from.  Whether it be the Devils or Flyers, Giants/Jets or Eagles and pork roll or Taylor ham (See previous post for pork roll if you have no idea what i am talking about http://dbarletta.blogspot.com/2014/11/pork-roll.html) the two sections are constantly in a heated battle, almost an ongoing civil war.   Not being from New Jersey, you may think that this is a stupid and irrelevant post or subject but being from New Jersey, I am constantly battling for my right to claim North Jersey as the dominant half and you need to know that.  When I first came to Fordham, I was surprised as to having a roommate from south Jersey.  When he first exclaimed where he was from and me to him, we both started with our bashful and persuasive lashing towards one another.  But after living with a southerner for almost 3 years now, I have been blessed to be able to say..... south Jersey..... You alright.
