Earlier this year, we set out to really get to know the towns in Monmouth and Ocean counties. I simply asked people on Facebook to complete this sentence: you know you're from (town) when___________. The responses from Middletown, Howell and Freehold were classic.

Now it's Marlboro's turn in the spotlight. Thank you for all the awesome ideas! See how many of these Facebook submissions you remember or can relate to. What is missing? Let us know in the comment section below.
