Autumn in NJ- nothing like it. We're even sleeping like babies at night with the windows open.

I agree, this is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. People have caught onto to that "secret" and rent shore houses for these fall seasons. Not too many bikini days on the beach, but what lovely weather, and the glorious sunsets on the bay brings tears to your eyes!

Sometimes I am so torn between finding somewhere else to find a lower cost of living, etc. but then I think about how beautiful it is here & my short drive to the beach and then wonder if relocating is what I REALLY want to to. Time will tell, I guess!

Going to get my pumpkins, mums and cornstalks this weekend to decorate my front porch steps!

Amen to that! Maybe keepthefear meant any town in Bergen County, South of Ridgewood. I grew up in Bergen County. Most lifelong residents think that's all there is to the state. Except for the occasional trip to Pt. Pleasant or Belmar, of course.

Thank you. If he said he prefered Bergen County that would be fine, but a blanket statement like that needs to be challenged! Points for you. I'm in Monmouth County and while it's not perfect I think it has alot to offer. 20 minutes and I'm on the beach in Belmar, 45 minutes and I'm enjoying a Thunder game, 20 and I'm eating a Hotdog at The Blueclaws, about an hour and I'm in NYC, 40 and I'm at the airport a little more than an hour and I'm having a cheesesteak at Ginos in Philly., I can go on and on!

East St. Louis is actually more dangerous than Camden and I believe the most dangerous city in the U.S., and simply didn't appear on the morganquitno list because it has fewer than 75,000 people. But yes, Camden is horrible and does indeed suck.

Deffinetly stay away from Camden ( Worst Crime In the Country)
Trenton also has a lot of crime. Newark is bad but it has really been reviatalized in the last ten years. The most dangerous cities list had Newark at number one twelve years ago and now it is not even on the list. I still would recommend living outside of Newark in a nice suburb area. Let me rephrase that Newark is number twenty three of twenty five. A big leap from number one. Now if you want a very safe city to live in i would recommend. Brick Twnshp New Jersey. Very little crime and a lot of very nice suburbs to live in.

Irvington/Newark is probably the most dangerous in NJ to the average person due to the escalating gang violence.

Camden, Atlantic City, East Orange, Irvington, and Newark are the worst NJ has to offer.

Of course, not any of these entire cities are complete ghettos. The lower income areas are the places to stay away from. Even though Newark has dropped significantly statistically, crime is still a serious problem in the low income areas of the city.
