    My friend lives in Collingswood (town next to Camden), and she just got married. Two weeks ago, she woke up around 8am to start the cars for her and her husband because it was a chilly morning. She walks outside at 8:15 and BOTH are gone! And this was the town NEXT to Camden.

    I'm from Jersey and live in Philly, now. Stay in Philly, hang out in Old City, then take the ferry over - it'll be loaded with PJ fans and it'll be fun.

    are you kidding me? Because Collingswood is next to Camden, it HAD TO BE SOMEONE FROM CAMDEN that stole their cars. That is the most ignorant statement I have ever heard.

    I happen to go to Camden every day and you people have no clue. As a matter of fact, I will be there in about an hour to go see my mom in the hospital. And I'm not in the least bit worried about it.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I live in Haddon Twp., NJ which is next to Cherry Hill, NJ and work in Center City Philly. For convenience, I would recommend staying at the Crowne Plaza or Holiday Inn on Route 70 in Cherry Hill. Both hotels are a few short miles from the S-Center and extremely easy to find/drive to. Very nice area with alot of restaurants and shopping right there. By far the best place to stay other than Philly and easily the most convenient if driving to the show, which I would also recommend due to the out of control tailgating...if, like me, you enjoy the pre-game almost as much as the show.

    Can't we all just get along................Agree to disagree?? I hope I didn't start all this....Listen, I would simply caution anyone who's not from the area that Camden is a hot-bed for street crime, and to be vigilant of that FACT! I'm sure visually....Camden has some nice areas as well! So does Newark, so does philly, so does Trenton, so does parts of NYC and DC, but unfortunately they all have pockets of poverty & street crime. It's just a fact! And there are many reasons for it (You can highlight the blame in many directions)

    I'm from Jersey, born and raised, and I would always be the first to defend it!

    How may times have I heard that joke......"hey, your from Jersey..... what exit??"

    Yes, I'm from Jersey, but I'm not anywhere near the Jersey Turnpike (route 95) or the Parkway.....stupid!

    Any true New Jerseyan, actually embraces the diversity of their state!! Now I'm gonna go listen to Pearl Jam! (My head hurts!!)

    outside of Camden. . . at one time Camden had the highest crime rate in the U.S.
