Local residents explain special skills possessed by highly effective South Jersey residents

We queried local South Jersey residents about the skills required to live and operate in South Jersey - and, we got some great answers!

Carl said, "Navigate Wawa parking lots during shoobie season." (How true is that! Especially the old-school Wawas that still dot the area.)

Ronald gave us, "Clam digging." (We'll take your word for that, Ronald! We may lean a little more towards successful crabbing.)

From Courtney: "Knowing the better back roads to take during shoobie season to get to the beach." (Here! Here!)

Kim from Galloway pointed out one skill - that may be a little illegal: "When a driver is turning left and you pass them on the right, which is the shoulder of the road." (As long as there are no cops around....)
