A little about Camden

Camden has a very bad reputation for being one of the worst cities in the us. Unfortunatly, they get this bad rep from the stuff thats actually happeneing there. Drug dealers, deteriorating houses, rats, cockroaches, graffiti, homeless people... But those things happen everywhere, it just so happens that Camden is so small, that it's an easy target. Why can't we help improve Camden?

Well, lets focus on the many good things about Camden that people don't , or can't see because they can't get past the bad. So let's focus on the good!

Camden is home to:
-Adventure Aquarium
-Campbell's Field Baseball Park
-Camden Children's Garden
-Susquehanna Center
-Battleship New Jersey Naval Museum & Veteran's Memorial
-Camden Waterfront
-Walt Whitman House
-South Jersey Performing Arts Center
-Camden County Historical Society
-Rutgers Camden Center for The Arts
