26 Things Shoobies Do To Tick Us Off
"Oh my God! Can you believe this guy? He's gotta be the worst Shoobie ever!" ~ Said at one time or another by almost every resident of Atlantic, Cape May, or Ocean Counties who lives within 10 miles of the ocean.
It's almost Shoobie season - here they come!
What is a Shoobie?
The term Shoobie goes back a long way. Back in the day, daytrippers from Pennsylvania would pay a visit to the South Jersey Shore.
They'd ride a train, hitch a ride on a bus, or ride with friends.
They'd bring their lunch in a shoebox. (There were no McDonald's, Manco and Manco Pizza, or Rita's Water Ice in those days.)
