Ep. 029: The Real Jersey Shore

Our newest team member, Andrew Bambrick, joins Garrett to discuss his home state of New Jersey and what it was like growing up in the small town of Hammonton in southern New Jersey. He tackles stereotypes that come from shows like the Sopranos and Jersey Shore, talks about the cultural and political differences between north and south New Jersey, and he shares why he loved growing up in the Garden State.    Go visit Hammonton, New Jersey for their Blueberry Festival! https://www.hammontonnj.us/red-white-blueberry-festival    Jersey Shore is so much more than the show makes it out to be. http://www.newjerseyshore.com/    The Sopranos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sopranos    Jersey Shore: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1563069/    Andrew's favorite diner in Hammonton: https://www.silvercoindiner.net/    Saltwater Taffy originated in Atlantic City, NJ: https://www.britannica.com/topic/salt-water-taffy    The Pine Barrens are a great example of the natural beauty of New Jersey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Barrens_(New_Jersey)    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   You can support the Cardinal Institute by donating or following us on social media:    Donate: www.cardinalinstitute.com/donate Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cardinalinstitute Newsletter: www.cardinalinstitute.com/contact YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCosCMp86mjLbf8ZWfE5yS7Q Twitter: @CardinalWV Facebook: /CardinalInstitute/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cardinal-institute-for-wv-policy/ Instagram: @teamcardinalwv
