o matter how long you’ve lived in South Jersey, you need a navigation system now and then. And if you’re new here, well, you really need to fire up that GPS. Either way, this insider guide to South Jersey will help you fully explore and experience the area. We’ve packed this publication with fun features on downtowns, dining, shopping, festivals, family activities and much more to remind you of all that’s here – and to introduce you to places you didn’t know about. Our “Big Ten” lists throughout the guide offer a lighthearted look at who we are and what we like to do. And there are resources, too, so you’ll know what government office to contact if you need help, and what the area offers in higher education and health care. Plus, we shine the spotlight on some South Jersey towns, and give you key details on all 101 of them. With 112 pages of info, this will be your go-to guide all year long. And as for the real highway navigation, we even help with that. See our key to ongoing construction projects on Page 81.
