BIG difference. Camden is Hell on Earth. MUCH different fron bad neighborhoods in NYC or elsewhere in NJ, bad as some of them are.

Camden is the behavioral sink.

Camden is a mostly-black, low-income area just across the river from Philadelphia.

Looks like Malvo/Mohammod wannabes

Camden is not the suburbs. Camden is a diseased mostly dead derelict of a city.

Actually the oldest of the three just graduated from Collingswood NJ High School last month - Collingswood is a lower middle class but not desolated area as is Camden - according to local TV tonight this young man, who is white, became reclusive several years ago after his mother died - was going to save the world "from society" - as is usual in such incidents, his uncle insisted that he simple wasn't the type to be involved in such a plot - just a few facts to add to the discussion.......

Camden may as well be Philly.

The fact that it exists in NJ means nothing. It's a Philly slum.

NJ isn't as bad as painted in this article. I grew up in Rural Ohio...Sussex NJ is much more remote. I can spend forever extoling the virtues of rural NJ and unless you've been here, you simply won't believe me. Bears in NJ? Not possible, right? I get them all the time...go figure.
