hmmm, it could be the largest road side memorial!
We weed out the ones that can't handle it and send them to remedial states.
I hear they now have gang problems in Bucks County. No gang problems where I live in NJ!
NJ seems expensive. Buddy of mine for the same price house pays 4 times what I do in property taxes.
Surveyed people who don't live here.
LOL! He only made it to Hoboken. If he'd made it further inland, he'd have been fine! Washington headquartered in NJ!
A Lexus costs more than a Hyundia.
Ahhh! Thank you Clemenza! ::blushes::
That cemetary is 146 years old.

My continuous gripe is how Counties like Hudson, Essex and recently Union are becoming catch-basins for legal and illegal immigration (and too much unskilled, cheap labor). I'm starting to see more Spanish-speaking advertisement and finding more and more people moving into this area that can't speak a lick of English while the local governments seem to cater to them, plus the living standard is going way down. Makes me sick.
Did I tell you that my parents live in Boca?
Florida and Texas are bigger than Jersey and have more personal freedom. But you can't get a fried hot dog in Florida and the only hills in Florida are garbage dumps.
All that and much more can be said in favor of, say, California, but something tells me the NJ-ites turn their noses up at the state.
You mean there's not really a Tony & Carmella Soprano living somewhere in North Jersey? Com'on...don't be messing with me now!
I'm with Huck. I love it here (northern Morris County).
I hear ya. As I said to someone else, personal freedom is something you take for yourself, you don't ask for permission, so I really don't care what the gubmint says. As it is, I don't really feel any more restricted in NJ than in other states, so I have no complaints about it. My congressman has a 100 ACU rating, for what that's worth. As far as the taxes, yeah, property taxes are high, but I have a nice, comfortable, modest lifestyle, so I can easily handle it. I teach guitar for a living, and play gigs, and NJ is a great place to be because the population is large enough to support my vocation. How does anyone make it in a state like Wyoming where there aren't even 1 million people? I like the options you get in a place like NJ, and for me they are worth the tradeoffs.
I'm serious. Hell, for me, not being a subscriber to HBO, there isn't even a fictional Tony Soprano! He doesn't exist at all!
Nothern/West morris is nice. Netcong, Jefferson Twp, Rockaway Twp, etc. I'm way up near High Point.
Each reason has its plusses and minuses. We all think where we are from is the best unless we have fled to another state.
