NEW JERSEY: I'm Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today! - I Visit The Iconic Clerks Movie Location Sorry to hear about the loss. My family had a few emergencies recently, but thankfully, things are going well now. Most of my family was born and raised in NJ. My father grew up in Bayonne, NJ which is northern NJ and my mother wound up growing up near the NJ Shore near Asbury Park. I also have some family that came from Freehold, NJ as well. My only family members left in NJ are my uncle near the PA line and my cousin that moved to Asbury Park some years back. I do have some great memories of visiting my uncle in central NJ and always enjoyed driving around the parts where my family came from.

Now if I could live in one of those places called New York but looking like that. That would do me. I have seen cop shows from New York where they say they are going to Jersey shore. And they talk of how upmarket it is. I suppose that is it. Looking forward to you visiting New England. That has always been one of the places I would like to visit. If I could get over to the States I would avoid the West coast. Just doesn't appeal. But a lot on the East coast does. One day maybe.

Thanks for the video! I grew up in central jersey. Leonardo is nice, but don’t let median income fool you. The cost of living in many parts of New Jersey is so expensive, basically equating to the fact that if you’re poor in jersey, you might be rich in many other parts of the country. Bread still costs what bread costs, but until people experience other areas of the country, they stay in the jersey rat race.

Of all ur post, this is far and away my favorite one. I too am a Kevin Smith fan, Dogma was my fav. The town and all was cool but to see the STORE was the best. Thanks! I mentioned Mystic Pizza in one of your video because I had pizza there n saw the movie. But this is better. Next time I go to NY, I'm going to have to stop by this place.
reply

Leonardo is not really a town, that's why there is no downtown there. Leonardo is an unincorporated community within Middletown Township. The Middletown Township municipal building, police department, etc, are several miles to the southwest on Route 35. If you're curious, there is a Wikipedia entry about Middletown Township.

I really enjoyed this video, as always. I'm very happy that you got to visit the Quick Stop, very exciting for you, and the t-shirt is awesome! There are some lovely homes in Leonardo, and it was beautiful weather for exploring. I'm so sorry for your family loss. Take care. Thank you so much.

I hope when you pass down through Michigan you’ll go through Pontiac. My hometown. Nothing what it used to be but they’re trying to at least come back from rock bottom. Ann Arbor would be interesting too. You’ll probably head through Lansing though being that it’s the state capital
reply

When you go to the UP of MI you MUST check out Marquette and Presque Isle (in Marquette. There will be a turn off with a parking lot as you make your way around the Isle. The attraction there is referred to as the black rocks and you have to check it out! really beautiful.

Thought I knew the Jersey shore but never heard of these towns - maybe been through them though if they are somewhere off North Route 9. Didn't know those movies you speak of either. I always went to LBI - Surf City, Barnegat Light, & Beach Haven in central Jersey shore.
reply

For some strange reason your videos haven’t been showing up in my stream. I’m ticked off just thought you hadn’t made any for a while. Glad that you’ve been posting and I looked to see if there were new videos.
Hope you’re doing well.

I used to be a police officer in Oklahoma City, Joe, attached to a tactical team. That was a lot of years ago. Currently, I live in Illinois, in a historic town where the first Lincoln-Douglas Debate took place.
reply

Sorry to hear of your Uncle's passing, may he rest in peace. Will have to watch the movie now for sure. Thanks for sharing, really enjoy learning about America's towns, cities & even the hole in the wall places.
reply

Awesome video. I used to live in Leonardo before I relocated to Texas. Went to visit in January. I used to see clerks being made at night when I would come home from work. Lived in Red bank at one point too.
reply

Sad you didn't find spot that silent Bob leaned on. / Red Bank Monmouth st (count basie theater, comic book store and Dublin House. awesome street and fire work show Red Bank unleashes is truly awesome

NJ is where you can see what the Wealth Divide looks like in reality. Just 20-40 minutes away from Trenton. Newark, Camden are very wealthy towns and neighborhoods. Moorestown NJ is just 11 MILES from Camden
reply

I'm from New Jersey. Leonardo is a shore town. A lot of people go there in the Summer. So the down town support a lot of out of towners in the Summer. Go in the winter and the town will be dead.
reply

Sorry for the family loss, Joey. Your next trip through the Midwest sounds great, but I thought you were coming to my hometown of Reno in late spring. Hope to see you out west very soon.
reply

OZ// Thanks Joey- for another adventure. Enjoyed seeing you so into the Clerks thingo! and the town etc, as usual. I, ll BE lookin for the next one! - as always. Safe travels man.
reply

You're going to love Upper Michigan. Lots of ghost towns, especially on the west end. Be sure and visit Ontonagon, there are some nice places to stay, on the shore of Lake Superior.
reply

When you're in Wheeling Wva one day, and eventually end up in New Jersey on another. Yup, i said it. Drives South on Rte2 and ends up on the jersey turnpike. Great movie.
reply

Question: I will watch Clerks this week. Are the sequels worth watching I think a sequel came out recently.
You will love NH and Maine! Looking forward to the UP as well.

reply

I Enjoy the program. each town must have a fire station, perhaps focus on that and you will get the idear of the back bone of some of these rural towns. thanks
reply

I used to live in Glassboro New Jersey, you were 1 hour and 41 minutes (cuz I looked it up) filming this video from where I lived. Thank you for doing what you do!
reply

Never knew about Clerks! Need to watch it! Sorry to hear of your uncle’s passing. Stay safe! Looking forward to seeing you and Nicole on your next adventures.
reply

I am a clerks fan too. Just want to say thank you for your videos it means a lot I feel like I'm with you at times. Also a fan follower of yours
reply

JBJ Soul Kitchen is in Red Bank, went there in 2020 with my bestie, it was our bucket list trip before she passed. Huge Bon Jovi fans awesome food!
reply

Come to Rochester NY when you get back to NYS. its worth your drive. a mess of an inner city and high crime and some very interesting architecture.
reply

Joe, if you are in the area of Abilene, Kansas you need to pay a visit. There some incredible old homes that you would love to see.
reply

You all need to visit the towns of Wisconsin. The folks up in that beautiful state are proud of their thriving communities.
reply

HE picked the worst section of the town
Residential. areas have 15. 000 aq ft homes. TOO BAD you didnt fo to Asbury Park

reply

I wonder what the curvature would be from that distancethe calculation is 8per mile sqare for the helio/nonsensical model.
reply

Joey: they to include what property and school tax is. Then you can see the proportionality of the cost of living to income.
reply

I live in Monroe Township, NJ about 40 min away from where you are. Just at Belmar Beach Sunday. Great weekend for it
reply

Rapper Logic just did a music video in this store with the Clerks crew! The song is called Highlife if you're interested.
reply

As long as you are in New Jersey, you might as well check out Camden in the South. The Gary Indiana of the East Coast.
