There was a post in the lounge ... what is your favorite song about a city?

So immediately I thought about this gem. Jersey stomp by Dave Van Ronk. You may have never heard it ... I discovered it years ago listening to "Music you can't hear on the radio". A weekly show on WPRB, Princeton, hosted by David Weingart.

Nice guitar pickin' with lyrics that Jersey folks will really identify with.
