Like the “stans” in southeastern Europe, there are a bunch of “fields” in NJ.
Once on a business trip I exited Rt. 22 and pulled into Springfield, NJ for a coffee. It was mid to late May, and everything was in bloom! The azaleas and dogwoods and everything else....I was slackjawed at the beauty. That was 40 years ago but it still stands out in my memory.
Once you get away form Newark and the tri-state mess, NJ is really a very pretty place. Out towards Boonton is nice.
“Oh, you live in New Jersey”
“Which off-ramp are you from?”
