this quiz figured out i'm probably from around philly, or jersey or new york, or maybe wisconsin.
i was in wisconsin yesterday, philly jersey and new york this past week, and grew up around south philly, where if i climbed a tree in my yard i could see jersey across the river.
for fun, we took a drive a few days ago to fort mott in jersey. there's a dump next to it, or wildlife refuge if you prefer, that is part of delaware, because of the technicalities of where the state border is.
the river is all in delaware, jersey starts at the low tide mark, so when the corp of engineers dumped a bunch of sludge from dredging the channel, it created a new part of delaware. I'd seen it on the map and wanted to check it out.
