I forgot to give you the definition of Bennies..........I know you NEED
to know what it really means.

Bennies
Are you a Benny and don't even know it? Bennies are folks who come down
the shore for the summer, the week or just the day. On one hand they
seem to "invade" the all year rounder's territory and on the other hand
they bring lots of business to the area. Did you know Benny is an
acronym for Bayonne-Elizabeth-Newark-New York B-E-N-N-Y...whose
residents flocked to the shore during the summer months. That term goes
back to the 1940's.
