Hopefully, you enjoyed your three-day weekend. I had a blast. 4th Of July is, hands down, one of my absolute favorite holidays of the year. The only depressing part of the day is knowing that we're in the wind-down phase of summer. Have to confess, I saw a lot of complaining going on via social media that I was surprised to see from people who've lived in South Jersey for a long time. From seeing posts about the long lines at the grocery store to Instagram stories grumbling about the insane traffic, it had me wondering why in the world is any of that shocking if you've lived in this region for any previous 4th of July weekend.

It didn't make any sense! You know what you're getting into in South Jersey over the most anticipated holiday of the summer, don't you? Some things just aren't even worth getting frustrated with because it'll be the same situation next year.

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in.
