The Map
You’ve probably heard about the map that Rutgers grad Joe Steinfeld created on Monday night and posted to his reddit page. By Tuesday night over 750,000 people viewed it on facebook and reddit. The newspapers have all written about it.
Steinfeld was enjoying all the attention until his bosses at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection took a dim view of it and released a statement saying it had nothing to do with the department.
Steinfeld reduced Monmouth County to “WHERE THEY FILMED CLERKS,” BANKERS AND BUSINESSMEN,” WORKING CLASS PEOPLE AND BEACH HOUSES: SPRINGTEEN COUNTRY, ” and “McMANSIONS.”
Obviously, Steinfeld doesn’t know Monmouth all that well. The Bayshore is much more than where Kevin Smith filmed clerks. Coastal Monmouth is extremely diverse, as are the central , western and southern parts of the county.
Just for fun, how would you correct Steinfeld’s map?
