bright flight

Bright flight is the sociologic and demographic term denoting a trend wherein everyone smart enough to realize there is nothing of value to be gained, economically or culturally, flees their community as the affluency of a geographic area decreases. Anyone able to contribute to advancing society will follow jobs and opportunities out of town, leaving a wasteland of mouth-breathers and neanderthals behind them.

Brigantine

a small island directly north of Atlantic City, NJ (you can see it when you stand on the beach), the kids go to ACHS and it is the most poppin town of the whole jersey shore. every teenager in the entire town frequents "the ave" (w brigantine avenue between 8th st s where wawa is and 14th st by ritas) every night between the hours of 8 and 11 pm. everyone pretends to go home at 11 for curfew but really people just smoke pot and drink all night on the beach. one of the few shore towns where shoobies and locals actually get along. you dont come to brigantine because you saw it on the internet as a great place, you come to brigantine because your family has a story behind it.
Shoobie (to local): finally im back in Brigantine! im so happy!

Local (to shoobie): yeah, lets go to the beach all day and then smoke a blunt tonight and hang at ritas!
