Even though I was raised and went to school in Maplewood when I wasn’t visiting my cousins in Newark or Kearny. South Orange is the town next door. Very identical to Maplewood if you were not in Maplewood you were definitely in South Orange and that’s not a bad thing trust me.

I have spent my childhood in many cities in North Jersey, but Maplewood is where I spent 90% of my time. One of the last Norman Rockwell kind of towns. You knew everyone and they knew you, of you knew someone that knew a person you didn’t know. You get the picture I was very lucky to grow up and in a town like that one.
