...Jersey Shore is the nicknames. Well, that and the hair, and the thongs, and the leathery tans, and the tattoos, and the hair gel, and the hot-tub sex, and the bar brawls, and the lustily embraced Italian-American stereotypes. But then: those nicknames. There's Nicole (Snooki) Polizzi. Mike (The Situation) Sorrentino. And most spectacularly, Jenni (Jwoww) Farley.

Since then the neighborhood improvement organization has planted trees, renovated dozens of old homes to be sold cut-rate to young families, and run a popular educational summer youth program...
...Polizzi has joined 1,100 of the area's 1,500 families in a nonprofit development corporation to guide the future of the area. In its four years' existence, the corporation has found 60 jobs for new -and old-residents in the neighborhood's salami and macaroni factories, tool company and glass factory.
