🤨❓At risk of getting the wrath of Nan, I would say that S. Orange is on the northern fringe of central NJ.
Oops, I meant exit 150. Yes, exit 144. Just an eyelash north of Newark. I don't consider that North Jersey. Ringwood is North Jersey. Anything South of Sayreville is "down the shore". FYI, about a thousand years ago I took my GREs at Seton Hall.
I grew up in Verona (and then Rutherford) and no matter how hard you squint at the map South Orange is Northern NJ. For heaven's sake, it's 20 miles from Manhattan and is located in Essex County. Central Jersey is out in the sticks and has cows and stuff. Essex County has traffic, good pizza and, at least back in the day, the Mafia.Oops, I meant exit 150. Yes, exit 144.

Exactly. The Sopranos was filmed in North Caldwell in Essex County, not in Middlesex County. Tell someone from Verona they are from Central Jersey and you would get the Ayanna Patterson stare down.........for starters.I grew up in Verona (and then Rutherford) and no matter how hard you squint at the map South Orange is Northern NJ.

This was meant for Skeets. We are about as proud, possessive and protective of our area as Geno is about Storrs pizza.Hopefully geography wasn't on the test or you would have failed.
If S. Orange is due west of Manhattan, it can't be north. Passaic county is north. Bergan county is north. You Central Jersey people are very touchy.This was meant for Skeets. We are about as proud, possessive and protective of our area as Geno is about Storrs pizza.
