What is Perth Amboy?

Also called PAHS, it is an overcrowded and outdated school compared to other schools in Perth Amboy. An almost segregated school, it is 86% Hispanic. Puerto Ricans are becoming a minority. What is left of them is mainly Puerto Rican trash. The Dominicans are moving and taking over. Most of the Dominicans are first generation. The rest are second generation. As for the Puerto Ricans, they are just Americans with "blind" pride. They are proud of the flag and the food yet they've never lived in Puerto Rico. You'd be suprised how many do not know Spanish. Instead they'd rather act white, be wapanese or wiggers. The latter being the preferable. How's that for "Mi Orgullo"? However they seem quiet compared to the Dominicans. I ger along with the Dominicans but they all dress, talk, and act loud and boy are they gossipy. They wear tank tops, and miniskirts-even in winter. To put it bluntly they, especially the men, act like they own the place. They copied their sense of pride and code of sticking together from the Puerto Ricans. Go over to PAHS on February 27 (DR ind. day). 35% of the school is draped in flags, shirts,etc. Now go on PR day. Not many people have anything Puerto Rican. There are also, to a lesser degree, Blacks, Whites, and Mexicans. As in any other school, cliques are important. There are geeks, anime freaks, jocks, newly arrived immigrants, and the ditzy/sluts. Spanglish is the language of choice. The suspension rate was 35% no thanks to D Block. D (stands for Dominican) Block is a gang in school. They harass black athletes.

I'm so glad that those 16 troublemakers are expelled.

Perth Amboy - what is it?

When you're getting a fantastic hand job and your partner's arm gets tired so they start using the weak hand instead...

"I was looking for some sweet Western Grip action, so I called a couple buddies over. One of them starts strangling the soldier. A few minutes go by and my buddy gets fatigued, so a buddy of mine switches arms! I said 'wait a second, pal! nobody gives me the old Perth Amboy Switchoff!'

Perth Amboy - slang

Perth Amboy is the ghetto or Barrio City of Middlesex County. It is an overwhelmingly working class and Hispanic small town. It's part of the rust belt and the factories have left the waters polluted. Until the 19oos the water was suitable for fishing. However, the waterfront is being redeveloped. It also features a nice view, a small marina, and history.

No examples needed because there are just no examples.

Perth Amboy

Perth Amboy is a basically hispanic town where people are really close and a tight-nit community. Its located right in between Woodbrigde and Hopelawn. Everyone is really united and work together well. Being born and raised there has helped me to learn to be independent and if you havent lived there then dont criticize; because you dont know until you truly experience it for yourself.

Perth Amboy is:
- amazing waterfront
- great hispanic food everywhere
- loving people & accepting of others
- great school spirit
- truly not given enough credit
- dont ever call it a whore filled town (maybe you just ran into the wrong bitch)

Perth Amboy

A small town in Jeresy with a big reputation. What people don't understand is that it get's a bad rep because some people think that they could define Amboy and that's not the case. It's a great town where most people don't leave because it's all they know. With a over populated high school they still manage to have sucess stories everyday. Perth Amboy is and will always be known as "the Ghetto" but that's far from the truth, here is the truth.

Amboy is a great town to grow up but not a place where kids want to stay forver becuase they want to experience more, like every other human being. For a small town and over crowed population, the people definitly represent and most of the time are proud of where they came from because if they are something they could say they made it.
BIG UP TO PEOPLE FROM AMBOY...THAT WOULD BE MYSELF INCULED.

Growing up there i know alot of things and will forever know how it was growing up there i'm not there now but i miss the shit out of it. Perth Amboy will always be in my heart and in the heart of many others even if they don't admit it.

Perth Amboy

Perth Amboy is an old town, having been founded in 1693. It is one of the most historic towns in NJ, having once been the capitol of East Jersey prior to the Revolutionary War. Perth Amboy has always been a city of immigrants, with wave after wave of different ethnic groups succeeding and supplanting the ones that came before. Now it's the Dominicans who are the newest group. When I was in school there, it was the Puerto Ricans who were the new group. My mom used to talk about how the Eastern Europeans were looked down on by the Irish; my grandmother used to talk about housecleaning for the wealthy German Jewish ladies when she was 14.

Who knows a decade from now what the majority ethnic group will be? That's one of the best things about Perth Amboy - it's always evolving, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. I've seen Hall Avenue go from a nice street with shops, bakeries, shoe repair shops to a drug-infested rundown dump to a street that's now living again. So it is with other parts of the town. Perth Amboy is a ghetto in the sense that it is the home of a high concentration of one ethnic group, but it's not a ghetto in the sense that people don't take pride in their families and their homes. They do; sometimes though that's not recognizable to those who have fled the urban towns of NJ for bigger homes, bigger property, and only English-speaking neighbors.

One thing about Perth Amboyans: they will fight among themselves, but they have an almost fanatic loyalty about the town when dealing with outsiders. I've never met someone from Perth Amboy with an inferiority complex, and it seems that the worse rep the town gets the prouder we are to be from here. When I was in high school, we took pride in the fact that the more suburban schools were afraid to play here (Woodbridge had cause - we tried to tip over the team bus - with the team inside it) . Reverse snobbism at its best - lol.
