Apologies for my sensitivity about it.
My husband did grow up here and I never got his anger when NJ was the butt of jokes. (He grew up on Bayonne... a double cross to bear!) After we were married and I lived here for a while I understood it.
Maybe that's why I don't like The Sopranos. Hubby does tho, go figure!
Ahhhhh, Fuhgeddaboutit!
I have been to Bayville.
