Cumberland and Cape May counties are still like the south Jersey I remember of 40 years ago.George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838085020802983098.post-57029360083109413202012-05-29T18:13:24.828-07:002012-05-29T18:13:24.828-07:00Wow!
