A place where hippies go after their flower power days to get high-paying jobs and raise their children. Gays and biracial families are the norm. The families that inhabit Maplewood are often transplants from the Park Slope/Brooklyn area. People in Maplewood believe strongly in Whole Foods, eco-friendly products, yoga, Starbucks and the newest technology. Practically no one is conservative, and parents practically feed their children liberal ideals, by doing things like sending them to Obama picnics. In Maplewood, everyone knows each other. And on a nice sunny day, the parks are typically crowded with toddlers, dogs, and pot smoking teenagers. The children of maplewood are typically grow into very spoiled individuals. Their student parking lot is nicer than the teachers, and everyone has macbooks, and the newest ipods. Weed and alcohol are consumed at an alarming rate. Despite this, Maplewood turns out some of the most sucessful and talented people. So many that the high school had to start its own hall of fame. Because of this, the surrounding towns are jealous and often resort to calling Maplewood things like "Maplehood" or "Gay-plewood".

A neighboring town to South Orange and Milburn. It is vastly superior to all other towns, and it is the home of the almighty Bober.
Columbia High School resides in Maplewood and not in South Orange; therefore, Maplewood is vastly superior to South Orange.

The greatest town on the East Coast. We accept everyone regardless of their race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, immigration status, income, national origin, religion, you name it - unless you're a conservative. In which case stay the fuck out of Maplewood. God, we are just so damn accepting.
Person #1: Maplewood is the greatest town in this hateful world. We truly tolerate and include all people no matter what.
Person #2: I don't really like Obama.
Person #1: Get the fuck out.
Person #2: I don't really like Obama.
Person #1: Get the fuck out.

The best town on earth. Located between south orange and millburn bet much better than both of those towns. The people are greate and everyone is so nice (for the most part). Maplewood uses an alarming amount of weed and alcohol but over all its a great town. Maplewood is also the neutral zone of maplehood and maplegood it's inbetween. This includes town the parks but not the middle school its on it's own island of maplehood.

kids primarily from maplewood middle school who are not as cool, popular and/or accepted as much as the south orange kids (kids primarily having gone to south orange middle school).
it's really not a suprise that the maplewood kids didnt get into the party considering they just don't make the social standards.
