WHAT!! what part of Jersey, I currently work in Iselin and live in Morristown, I can't say that the people are all that pleasant. Especially on the road, I lived in Minn/St.Paul for a couple of years, now those are some really nice folks and two wonderful cities. Kev

I don't know, there's NJ and there's NJ. In my 3 years experience of North Central NJ I found it to be very pleasant. Pretty environment, nice small-town atmosphere with character in many places but with large-town availability of shops/malls/entertainment. Lots of job opportunities. I'd recommend the area, and would have no problem moving there again. (Has to be said that I've mistakenly found myself in some wrong places though!).

I like NY, it's just the other 8 million people I can't stand, same thing here in Jersey!

but you must come to NY as well! not just the city (although that's a requirement) but upstate NY as well.
one of the things I love best about living here is that I have the energy of the city, and I can also have the beauty and peace of the mountains upstate -- all within a 2 hour drive.
But then, I'm prejudiced, I've never lived outside the greater NY metropolitan area. :)
