Reply to comment by Zhuul in Moving from Washington Heights NYC to Camden NJ what should I know? by PositiveCapital9987

I do not blame anyone or Camden at all. It is what it is. I will say that when I was student teaching one day I came out to find my car on cinderblocks. I was well liked by parents and students. Every car had something done to it so it was just bad luck. A lot of tweaked out people scattered. Just be careful. I live .6 from the heart now and still get anxious every now and then. Also my neighbor was stabbed in the ACME parking lot 30 minutes after I got my prescription.

Yeah it’s hardly a utopia, I’m sorry if I sounded like I was painting an overly rosy picture. It’s gotten better, though, and more importantly seems poised to continue trending in that direction.

Just be prepared for bullshit and keep your wits about you. And if you’re ever feeling down you can always go to the aquarium and say hi to their prehensile tailed porcupine.

Seriously, their nose looks like a giant pink marshmallow, it’s goddamned adorable.

YES! SO cute! I love doing looking at the Battleship New Jersey as well. There is a little old man down in the cafeteria that is just a wealth of knowledge! (I also painted the cafeteria and "dorms" when I was a Girl Scout)
