11. What an ignorant remark. Do you think NJ is comprised of only 3 cites? |

6. I drew up in the 70s-80s in an almost idyllic northern Jersy burb. |

It was great. Nice neighbors, nice houses with green lawns, public lake with a beach, great schools (my high school even had a planetarium), fun boy scout troop, etc.
Sadly the house my parents bought in 1971 for 55k was sold for 300K in 1991, 700K in 1999, and over 1mil in the mid 2000s.
I won't be going home anytime soon. I wonder what the housing crash did to the price.

high taxes, but 95% of New Jersey is beautiful. Farms, lovely old small towns, forests, mountains in the northwest, rivers, and wetlands. This is the New Jersey that most people don't seem to know about. Many old dirt roads through the forests, great for horseback riding. Fascinating history. In addition to all that, they've got TOMATOES, STRAWBERRIES, and BLUEBERRIES. Stay away from the cities of NJ to really get to know the state.
The politicians - not so much.

13. I know the feeling on not knowing the state. |

Connecticut is very rural outside of the southwest corner and Connecticut river valley, but most people think we are a suburb of NYC. The ignorance knows no bounds.

CORN. When I was a kid summer dinners were as many ears of corn and sliced fresh tomatoes I could eat followed by strawberry shortcake for desert and all day long as many blueberries as I could eat.
Come to think of it, all that good eating of fresh produce probably is responsible for my family's long lives.
Did I mention peaches? And my mom's peach upside down cake? MMMMMMMMMMM!
