JERSEY STRONG AND
PHILLY TOUGH
The Legacy of "Irish" Teddy Mann
 
by Matthew H. Ward

The term “Jersey Strong” has come to symbolize the resilience, toughness, and rugged pride of those living in New Jersey’s coastal communities. Popularized after Superstorm Sandy in 2012, the phrase aptly describes Shore natives shaped by both the beauty and brutality of nature.
