Glen Ridge is an NJ Yuppie suburb of Montclair, differentiated from it by being mostly white Catholics from New Jersey pretending to be yuppies despite their otherwise roots. Glen Ridge has the 3rd oldest house age in the country, and is distinguished by its excellent public schools with well-known drug and drinking problems. Almost 85% of the borough of Glen Ridge (population 7,500) is in a Victorian/Early 20th Century Historic District. Cindy Sherman is totally from Glen Ridge, and Tom Cruise spent the last few years of his educational career here, where he started acting. Glen Ridge is also known as the site of "Our Guys", when a number of high school jocks raped a mentally disabled girl and denied that it was rape. This was exacerbated by GRHS covering it up, though they all eventually were convicted. Since then, the jock culture has declined in GR, and though most students are very isolated, the most evil are no longer typically asshole jocks. Part of this is that no male sports team in Glen Ridge is considered prestigious because of a. The efforts of the town to dismantle the jock hierarchy, b. The small size of the town, and c. That everyone is too lazy and stoned/obsessed with their grades to care. The students tend to fall into either of those categories, and all seemed to be obsessed with drugs and alcohol as a shallow way to end their perpetual shelteredness and boredom. GRHSers (whom the town is still known for) are seen by Montclair teenagers as totally sheltered and sadly unhip. Most people are upper middle-class or wealthy, and tend to be people from NJ who lived in the city for awhile and then came back, as opposed to Montclairians, who are from NYC or other parts of the country and then moved to NJ, considering Montclair as the only place they would move to. Glen Ridge was once known for the institutionalized implicit racism of the Glen Ridge Country Club, a now all-but-defunct standard. Adults from GR are called Ridgeroos, while kids are called Ridgers, after the sports teams.

Get the Glen Ridge mug.A really cool town in New Jersey. As seen in previous definitions, a common theme in this town is just to make fun of it and hate on it. These people are idiots and have nothing better to do. It is a cool town with cool people for the most part and is within driving distance of lots of good things to do.

Fossil Ridge High School is a 9-12th grade high school that is located on the line of Keller & Fort Worth, Tx .The majority of the school is filled with ghetto black people, who insist on making large swarms & having "hoorahs" in the hallway, constantly shouting things such as "Aye" "Nigguh" & "Young Money" while holding up the famous gang sign. Unfortunatly it often results in trampling the classy & sophisticated white & whiter acting black students in the high school.

Get the Fossil Ridge High School mug.First, go in the middle of the freezing Connecticut woods, build an ugly little town out of wood, then make every store either a bank or a crappy pizza place. Lastly, add a bunch of rich people to the mix and some poor(ish) people to make the rich people look richer. Welcome to Ridgefield Connecticut!!
New at the high school? Don't worry, I'm sure if you're even a little bit different, the kids will cast you off as an insignificant piece of shit. Hungry? You have roughly 20 restaurants to choose from, none of which are that good, but hey it's fun to keep trying. Bored? The town has a large selection of drug dealers to hook you up with any sort of drug you want, as well as a wide variety of alcohol. Out of money? Almost every other fucking building in Ridgefield is a bank, so robbing and getting away should be a pretty simple task, for the police will not be able to figure out which bank you robbed.
Yes, Ridgefield is a beautiful little town in Connecticut that's sure to turn your kids either into unconfident stoner outcasts without the slightest knowledge of the world around them, or into hefty jocks that will indefinitely do a shit ton more drugs and end up dropping out of community college.

Get the Ridgefield, CT mug.A place where people go to get some ass, some boose, some pot, and some bitch's ass to kick. Everyone seems to think we're rich, preppy, and stuck up. But if you stick with the right crowd (which is really...the WRONG crowd...) you will have the most fun in your life. Aside from the many arrests that occur in Ridgewood from underage drinking and paraphenalia, it's a really fun place. And there's tons of food.
I was in Ridgewood the other day and i got really high and ordered Hunan Villa chinese food, and then thought i could fly off the roof of the movie theater. Then i got arrested by a big cop.

Get the ridgewood mug.Where everyone is white and those who are not are white-washed. Where the teachers talk about girls in bikinis, Star Trek, and anything and everything besides school. Where stupidity is at its peak and students call a Rhombus "Rum-bus". Where TV's fall on teacher's heads and no one can find a decent substitute.
"Park Ridge is the suckiest school EVER *drives spike through school*"
"One day, I'll jump off the roof of Park Ridge High School!"
"I swear, I'm leaving this place VERY soon."
