Hey Rat Rock Nation! Yeah your reading that post right and it's all about New Jersey today, a lot of great things to talk about that happen here and so much that goes down here. I know a lot of us really didn't ask for or want someone like "Snookie" at our beaches and Gio Da Verrazzano didn't put his life on the line as he walked the Jersey Shore to ever see that mess.

The Jersey Shore nightlife is where it is at too. With all the great nightclubs and bars with live local bands, you will always be leaving your troubles behind at the door. Even hanging out at the legendary Stone Pony catching some awesome shows in Asbury you will be catching some national acts over there.
