You should know better, the head Bricktuckian is headed to jail for taking bribes from Bennies and screwing Piney's.

Actually the term shoobies has nothing to do with wearing shoes on the beach. The weekenders from Philly were called shoobies because they came down to the shore with their lunch in a shoebox and never spend any money. They do spend lots of money though, which supports these shore towns all year.

I would have been right in the middle of that mess. I graduated in 1987. When I lived there, Gil Hodges Bowling Alley still existed. I think St Mary's was up that way. Parents sent me to St Bernard's for CCD.

The way it was explained to me......the term Benny came from the many Jewish people (many with first name Benjamin or Benny) that came from NYC to the shore for the summer. With so many people running around with the name Benny it stuck as nickname for any tourist from NYC, or anyplace else for that matter.

I used to work in Brick Town, now just called Brick, for many years and never heard the the term Bricktucky before. I never thought of Brick as a redneck area.
