In today's Inquirer, I make fun of my life as an unlikely Jersey shore local and attempt to explain a few things to shoobie-land, and on philly.com, people are invited to get annoyed with me. Please feel free.
My little piece may be viewed as a companion to piece to the previously posted Ode to Spending Time at the Shore, written from a down for the weekend perspective by one of my cool Philly nabes.
And if you haven't weighed in on the LBI, Hoagies or Subs, Bennies or Shoobies, South Jersey or North? dispute, please do.
There's also the Virginia Beach versus Myrtle Beach versus Jersey Shore conflagration.
And once again, here's my early pick for a summer song, by Brazilian pop group CSS, although it's been around since late Fall, but that still qualifies it for summer of 08 in my book. Contains the excellent lyric: "Music is my Beach House." But what does that mean?

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
