"Why does anyone want to live in New Jersey?"
Why does someone always clog up a NJ thread with an inane and ignorant question ?
Sorry if you were offended. It was a goodnatured teasing by a Pennsylvania neighbor.
I have many wonderful friends and relatives in New Jersey. They stay there because of the many things mentioned here: proximity to NYC; good tomatoes; superior pizza, and the best bagels outside of Brooklyn. Oh, yes--and the shore. But don't go in the water! ;)
