Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Northeast Moving to Jersey!!! How is Matawan???

Rutgers kids don't "rule" there no more - right by St. Peters and Robert Wood Johnson, Route 27 and the surroundings it's all ghetto there - with gangs and what not.

Now that's the typical situation in every "large" city in NJ - Camden, Trenton, New Brunswick, Paterson, Jersey City, AC, Newark - they all go from bad to worse with constantly increasing gang violence, guns, etc. All of them were voted as the most dangerous places in NJ...

wow, i mean yeah i know where the bad parts of the town were...but where they lived (duke street) always seemed to be a quiet area to me. And up and down easton ave.

seriously, all the problems they had over the years were related to the college kids. One got too drunk one night and tried to come in their house via the front door. My uncle promptly told the guy to go sleep it off somewhere else, and he proceeded to try and kick their door down!!
