I also believe Big Lou grew up actually in the City of Newark in a tough neighborhood and I believe he has a shore house in Toms River for summers just like Scoops.
I remember reading on the boards back in the day from one of the more Jersey-centric 'street guy' posters that Fazzini grew up in Stephen Crane Village in Newark - same place as Frankie Valli
Why do Jersey people sometimes lump Tom's River into being a part of the Shore and refer to people summering in Tom's River? Seems a little ...generous? lol.
Respectfully asking - it's over 5 miles inland and while I'm not super familiar with too much south of Manalapan basically, I know that to get to Shore points from Tom's River you have to drive at least 20 minutes on a good day.
Toms River Township is both oceanfront and bayfront for miles, it’s absolutely huge as it goes from the ocean all the way to miles west of the parkway. Toms River Township includes Normandy Beach, Ortley Beach , Silverton, Chadwick Beach, Silver Beach , Monterey Beach , half of Pelican Island and Ocean Beach. You must have been in the section of Toms River west of the Parkway I’m assuming.
