Yes, it is just pointing out a regional term where shore is used vs beach.

I believe the arrows are pointing at New Jersey, correct? In reference to the Jersey Shore tv show?

Naw, not the show. We just always called it the shore. Way before MTV.

'Going down the shore' is 'I'm going to the beach.'

I can't account for North Jersey but Philly and South Jersey are total shore ppl.

-dude born in Philly but lived in South Jersey for a long time.

I don’t know, go to the arcade play some video games, maybe buy a Def Leapord T-shirt.

Don't forget your Motley Crew T-shirt. You know all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail.

Metallica carnival mirrors can go for $30 now. I could have made $100s.
