    "Well I’m not familiar with many events. What does make this city distinct from other is it has a unique energy as it is close to the water and the population is mixed mostly consisting of Portuguese, Russian, Hispanics. There are many different restaurants as the neighboring cities are: Perth Amboy, East Brunswick, Sayreville, mill town, Newbrunwick....the list goes on. Walmart, shoprite, and Best Buy are a 10 minute drive away."

    "There's really nothing unique about South River. It's a dry, boring, old person's town with nothing to do and neighbors who will constantly judge and talk about you behind your back. Almost everyone here is a two faced person and if you were smart you'd live somewhere where, if you get hurt, people would actually stop to see if you're alright."
