Camden, New Jersey, is a city in Camden County that sits on the Delaware River, directly across from the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a key manufacturing, transportation, and entertainment locale in the Delaware-Pennsylvania-New Jersey tri-state region, but is alas a largely crime- and poverty-ridden area that has been voted the "Most dangerous City in America" in years past.
The "Camden Waterfront" is a popular tourist destination. It is home to a large indoor and outdoor performing arts venue, currently named the "Susquehanna Bank Center" (former monikers have included "The E Center" and the "Tweeter Center"). Other waterfront region attractions include Campbell's Field, home of the Camden Riversharks minor league baseball team; during Friday home games in the summertime, a fireworks display follows the competition. Additionally, Adventure Aquarium and its adjacent Camden Children's Garden offer visitors up-close views of, and interactive experiences with, many species of marine life. Camden is also the home of one of the three campuses of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
Camden is served by U.S. Routes 30 (the Admiral Wilson Boulevard) and 130, New Jersey Routes 70 and 38, and Interstate 676, the latter of which connects the city with Philadelphia via the Ben Franklin Bridge. Two stops of the PATCO High Speed rail line, which, like the Ben Franklin Bridge, is operated by the Delaware River Port Authority, stop in Camden, and the New Jersey Transit's "River Line" has its southernmost terminus in the city. Additionally, several bus routes serve the city, effectively connecting riders with all points in New Jersey and several in Pennsylvania; the Walter Rand Transportation Center is a key transit hub. Among the companies headquartered here are the Campbell's Soup company though they no longer make soup here.
